Let's compare the Xbox One power brick to the PS4

Xbox One: http://geeksangamers.co.uk/...

PS4: http://www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/v...

Non-issue. I only see my 360 powerbrick when I move my entertainment center to clean....OMG its so heavy! lol, but seriously nobody cared. It seems only extreme fanboys care about X1 having a powerbrick now.

thrust3869d ago

The ps4 has a power brick but it is internal!

if people think it doesnt then they are nuts!

MasterCornholio3869d ago

But its internal which is why nobody cares.

P.S its internal and the PS4 is smaller than the Xbox One which says a lot about Microsoft's engineers.

DOMination-3869d ago

PS4 is more likely to overheat because its internal and the console is smaller than xb1

Gekko363869d ago

@All It's a power supply FFS.

If it was something like an external disk drive, then fair enough.

With all the nit picking I'm sure Microsofts head is clear of lice.

Chill!

tigertom533869d ago

am sure the power supply is big to power the Kinect and if the power supply goes bad it doesn't mean you have to send the console out to be fixed or replaced..

torchic3869d ago

highly doubt Microsoft thought that far with the design.

it's simple, they just couldn't fit the brick into the machine. dude trust me if Microsoft were given the opportunity to make you buy a new console just because the power brick is dead you could safely bet your life that they would follow through on that idea.

B-radical3869d ago

why the hell is it 240 wats! kinnect wouldn't use that much surely.....maybe there planning ahead for them glasses?

SignifiedSix913869d ago

Dat power brick is nicer than the PS4 to be honest.

Also, I'd rather have an external power source than internal just for the fact if it took a sh**, i wouldnt have to replace the whole console.

Something you'll have to do with your ps4 if it happens.

NextGen24Gamer3869d ago

Basically PS4 is 120W or less .
No wonder Cherny itself said it is less than PS3 Super SLim

If the total wattage is 100-120W
then you can imagine the APU it self will only have 50-70W (max)

***) to put in context XB1 rated > 500-560W in AC, but 253 is max wattage in DC, 215 TDP
**) PS4 is rated 250W in AC, so max is 110W in DC, TDP will be 100W or less
Interesting.....

DoesUs3869d ago

Must be those extra DGPU'S?

Hate power bricks. I like keeping my wires nice and organized. Then my stupid Wii and 360 power bricks mess all that up lol.

forcefullpower3869d ago (Edited 3869d ago )

Same here. When you only have a small amount of space in a media center. Trying to fit onkyo, center speaker, tivo, HP microserver, network hub, 360, wii & ps3. As you say the min you try and fit the 360 or the wii it screw it all up trying to hide a great big brick. admittdly the wii one was smaller but the same diff. Hate the power brick on the tivo as well but that is the same size as the wii.

Magicite3869d ago

not many ppl have that.

4Sh0w3869d ago

People complain about the stupidest things, I have a ton of electronics in my entertainment center and I can easily hide the bricks because of the long cord so you can put it in the back on the floor or underneath the entertainment center.

Double_O_Revan3869d ago (Edited 3869d ago )

It's even slightly bigger then the 360s! With the size of the system too, that must be one heavy box. Wonder how it compares to the original 60GB PS3s.

MineHaxx3869d ago

It's big as the Wii Power Supply...

ziggurcat3868d ago (Edited 3868d ago )

of course he is.

he's taking the xbone consuming more power to equal a more powerful system. the reality is that it means that the xbone is horribly inefficient in its power consumption compared to PS4.

this fake NDA can't get "lifted" soon enough so that their nonsense can stop.

bahabeast3869d ago

i dnt understand why the brick is soo friggin huge. the box is already big with no brick in it and now this huge thing hanging from it. i guess its just open space inside the xbox one make sure it dosnt overheat.

Bethesda Needs to Reduce the Gaps Between New Fallout and Elder Scrolls Releases

Waiting a decade for new instalments in franchises as massive as Fallout and Elder Scrolls feels like a waste.

Microsoft have Obsidian but I feel it's Bethesda who just don't want to play ball as they've always said they want to do it themselves.

Once MS bought Zenimax in 2020 they should have put the Outer Worlds 2 on the back burner, allow Bethesda to finish off its own Space RPG with Starfield (despite totally different tone why have two in your first party portfolio with two developers who's gameplay is a tad similar) and got Obsidian for one of their projects to make a spiritual successor to New Vegas.

When the Elder Scrolls VI is finished Bethesda can then onto the main numbered Fallout 5 themselves.

The Outer Worlds 2 started development in 2019 so putting it on the back burner wouldn't have been the end of the world, they'd have always come back to it once Fallout was done and it would have been nicely spaced out from Starfields release once they had most likely stopped supporting it and all the expansions were released.

If they did this back in 2020 when they bought Zenimax and the game had a good, steady 4 - 5 years development, you might have seen it release in 2025.

We are literally going to be waiting until 2030 at the very earliest for Fallout 5 and all they seem bothered about is pushing Fallout 76.

RaidenBlack11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Its not just only Todd not playing ball.
Obsidian have made a name for themselves in delivering stellar RPGs, but most famous once have always been sequels/spin-offs to borrowed IPs like KOTOR 2, Neverwinter Nights 2, Fallout: New Vegas, Stick of Truth etc.
Obsidian wants to invest more in their own original IPs like Outer Worlds or Pillars of Eternity with Avowed.
Similar to what Bluepoint & inXile wants to do or Kojima is doing (i.e not involving anymore in Konami's IPs).
So yea, even if New Vegas has the most votes from 3D Fallout fans, Obsidian just wants to do their own thing, like any aspiring dev studio and MS is likely currently respecting that.
But a future Fallout game from Obsidian will surely happen. Founder Feargus Urquhart has already stated an year ago that they're eager to make a new Fallout game with Bethesda, New Vegas 2 or otherwise. Urquhart was the director of the very first 1995's Fallout game after all.
And don't forget Brian Fargo and his studio inXile, as Brian Fargo was the director of Fallout's 1988 predecessor: Wasteland

KyRo8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Obsidian should take over the FO IP. They're do far better with it than Bethesda who hasn't made a great game for almost 15 years

RaidenBlack2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

@KyRo
So, by 15 years, you mean Fallout 3 was the last great game Bethesda made?
You don't consider Skyrim a good game, which came out 13 years ago?
I'd consider Fallout 4 a pretty decent game as well. It's Story & RPG elements were a bit downgrade from New Vegas but the exploration and shooting on the other hand, were upgrades.
FO76 was disappointing and Starfield could've been better at launch I'll agree.

Duke197h ago(Edited 7h ago)

I disagree. Part of these games is the support for the mod community. If they move to releasing a "next game" every 2 or 3 years, the modding support plummets and the franchises turn into just another run of the mill RPG.

Make the games good enough to withstand the test of time, to keep people coming back to them and expanding on them with mod support.

--Onilink--5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

I dont think anyone is saying they need to come out every 2 years (not to mention almost no game is released that quickly anymore)

By the time Fallout 5 comes out, it will be more than 15 years since Fallout 4 came out (same with ES6 coming out 15 years after Skyrim). Even if you want to use F76 as the metric for the most recent release, that one came out in 2018. It will be a miracle if F5 comes out before 2030

The point is that for a studio that doesnt seem to operate with multiple teams doing several projects at once, that their projects normally take 4-5 years as a minimum, and that now they even added Starfield to the rotation, it becomes a 15+ years waiting period between releases for each series, which doesnt make sense. Imagine that Nintendo only released a mainline Mario or Zelda game every 15 years…

They either need to start developing more than 1 project at a time, let someone else take a crack at one of the IPs or significantly reduce their development times

Duke193h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Why should someone else take a crack at one of the IPs? Look at what happened to Final Fantasy as a recent example - there is pretty clear FF fatigue setting in because they are now pumping out titles in the franchise every few years. Pumping out more games faster doesn't always make a series better.

There are plenty of options to make new games, not just create more titles in the same universe at a faster pace.

-Foxtrot1h ago

"Why should someone else take a crack at one of the IPs"

He's literally just told you why

We're waiting like 15 years before a sequel comes out, it's insane

Skyrim came out in 2011, the next game is expected to come out in 2027 at the earliest so that's 16 years apart while Fallout 4 came out in 2015 and might not release until 2031, again 16 years.

We're fine with Bethesda trying new things and doing new IPs like Starfield but adding a new game to the cycle now means a bigger wait. Also Starfield didn't meet most peoples expectations, can you imagine waiting 15 years or so for a sequel and it's disappointing? It would feel even worse because you would have to wait another 15 years to see if they manage to come back from it.

They need to give it to another developer, we don't need main numbered titles but a spin off of Fallout and Elder Scrolls should be cycled in between the long gaps of the main releases.

Once again you are making out people want these games as quick as possible when all we want is a standard development time of at least 4 years or so rather than waiting 15.

mandf5h ago

Yeah I’m going to say it, who cares about the modding community when making a game? Half the time developers only tolerate modders because they fix there game for them.

Skuletor6h ago

Yeah, let's all advocate for smaller gaps between series' releases, then we'll probably get headlines about how the series have dropped in quality and they could have benefited from more time in the oven. Let them cook.

SimpleSlave5h ago

"how the series have dropped in quality and they could have benefited from more time in the oven" So every Bethesda game then? Got it.

Listen, I would agree if this was about From Software or something, but Bethesda?

🤣

C'mon now. What timeline are you from?

Skuletor3h ago

Think about it, they're already bug filled messes on their current schedule, can you imagine how much worse it would be if they rushed things?

-Foxtrot1h ago

@Skuletor

Who's saying to rush the releases? No one is saying that...

People just don't want to be waiting 15 years for a sequel, they aren't working on the game for that long, you do realise that right? The issue isn't coming down to them working on the game and us "rushing them", it's the fact they are working on other games like Starfield now meaning bigger gaps before they even get started on them.

I bet you any more Elder Scrolls VI only entered full development last year when Starfield was finished despite being announced in 2018.

Duke193h ago

I mean you aren't wrong. People are going to complain about anything

isarai5h ago

Hows about you focus on quality, just a thought 🤷‍♂️

Sciurus_vulgaris5h ago

Bethesda [or Microsoft] would have to reallocate internal and external studios towards fallout and elder scrolls titles. Bethesda has the issue of developing 2 big IPs that are large RPGs on rotation. If you want more Fallout and Elder Scrolls, development will have to be outsourced.
