Under one roof, three rival gaming ecosystems now coexist. A Chinese tech creator has engineered a custom-built device that integrates a PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch 2 into a single unit.
The project tackles a long-standing frustration for console gamers: juggling multiple systems just to access exclusive titles.
Console makers still protect their walled gardens. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo rarely share flagship games.
That reality forces players to buy separate hardware, manage cables, and constantly switch inputs. Instead of accepting that friction, 小宁子 XNZ chose to redesign the experience from scratch.
She unveiled the device in a November 2025 video. It only recently reached wider audiences outside China. The creator calls the system the “Ningtendo PXBOX 5.”
Inside the custom build
The project began with complete disassembly.
The YouTuber stripped each console to its core components. She removed factory cooling systems and power supplies. A shared internal design replaced them.
One centrally placed fan now cools all three platforms. A single 250-watt power supply handles the load. The setup works because the system runs only one console at a time.
That approach prevents overheating and excessive power draw.
The triangular enclosure reflects those constraints. Space dictated several compromises. Both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X operate as digital-only machines.
The chassis leaves no room for disc drives.
Despite these limits, the system functions reliably. The build prioritizes everyday convenience over expandability. It does not aim for mass production or consumer sale.
It exists as a proof of concept.
The Nintendo Switch 2 introduced the toughest challenge. Its hybrid nature required support for both docked and handheld play. Integrating that flexibility into a shared enclosure proved difficult.
The YouTuber addressed this with a custom 3D-printed housing.
The case holds the Switch 2 motherboard while preserving handheld functionality. It also allows docking without disrupting the overall layout.
A physical button at the top of the device controls platform switching. Pressing it cycles between consoles. The transition takes roughly 3 seconds and does not require any cable changes (the most impressive part of the build).
The video demonstrates quick jumps between games like Donkey Kong Bananza and Ghost of Yotei. The footage highlights how seamlessly the system changes modes.
What it really represents
The “Ningtendo PXBOX 5” does not eliminate platform exclusivity. It also does not simplify digital storefronts or accounts. Instead, it removes physical inconvenience.
The project shows what becomes possible when hardware boundaries give way to custom engineering. It reflects growing frustration with fragmented ecosystems.
It also highlights how enthusiast creators often move faster than major manufacturers.
For most players, owning three consoles remains the practical route. For one creator, integration proved possible.
The result stands as an impressive technical experiment rather than a consumer-ready product.
