Seamus Blackley, known as the "Father of Xbox," has been more like a chef on social media recently, always sharing his own yeast bread and chocolate "made from scratch." But in the tech world, he drove the gaming division at Microsoft in the late 1990s and early 2000s, specifically the Xbox console.
He quoted the tweet and wrote: "Those who don't know how much this looks like an Xbox prototype won't understand why I just spit out my coffee. They look like this:" He then shared a photo of the prototype.

This prototype development machine, which obviously has the flavor of the 2000s, also says "AlphaII" on the bottom, which means that this is the Alpha2 generation prototype, which means there is also an Alpha1 generation prototype - maybe it will have a beige plastic shell?
