To this day I still don’t know why they decided to put the disc on the left side of the box for games. Like it’s been 13 years since the Xbox One launched, I’ve gotten used to it by now, but I still question the why since I think only Xbox does this with discs (at least in the US idk how different it is in other regions). This is like a small little thing that’s not good or bad, it just is.

I think the reasons are:
1) Ergonomically better for right hand users, which most people are.
2) When stacked vertically, the disc is suspended rather than resting on the bottom of the case, reducing the risk of the read-side of the disc touching the plastic and scratching.
It’s technically better if you’re right handed. But still weird considering everything else is disc on the right side.
Fifty fifty
Maybe the person who designed the case was a leftie? lol
The “Sync” button always being on top or right next to the USB port, don’t understand why its there on every single console generation and type… just strange.
The actual answer is that they wanted to differentiate themselves from Playstation.
I always thought it’s one of those pointless things just to be different from the competitor/s
Removing the snap feature.
Oh how I miss having YouTube, Netflix, Twitch, you name it on the right side of the screen while I game on the main 85%. Let me do it again!
It’s very silly and not easier at all. I hate as well how the Xbox games boxes feel cheap compared to the PlayStation ones. Classic Microsoft creating problems for nothing.
Probably started this 13 years ago to get you used to staring at cardboard with a code, not a disc.
Could also be like men and womens clothes buttoning from different sides. Xbox like to be different
cant you just flip the case, remove the slip and do it the other way?
That Xbox Game Studio app….edit and merge clips to one single video…voice commentary as well.
