No Exclusives: Girl from China Builds Universal Ningtendo PXBOX 5 Console from PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch 2
A Chinese enthusiast with the nickname XNZ has combined the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch 2 into one device. The homemade "all-in-one" console is called Ningtendo PXBOX 5.
The idea came from simple annoyance: XNZ was tired of constantly switching between three consoles for the sake of exclusive games. Inspired by the internal design of the Apple Mac Pro, where components are arranged in a triangular pattern with a single fan in the center, she decided to apply the same idea to her project. This format turned out to be ideal for compactly housing three systems — PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch 2.
Each motherboard is mounted on a separate side of the triangle. The modder abandoned the original power supplies and cooling systems: instead, she developed a single system with a metal radiator and a common fan installed in the center at the bottom.
All three consoles are powered by a single 250-watt unit. According to XNZ's calculations, this is sufficient provided that only one system is used at a time: under load, the PS5 and Xbox Series X consume up to 225 W, and in idle mode — less than 5 W. Switching between consoles and displaying the image are implemented using Arduino — there is a large button on the case that changes the active platform in about three seconds.
Thus, XNZ can now switch on the fly between her favorite exclusives of each platform without prior preparation, fussing with cables and connectors — at least for her, the console war is over.
