PS4 is half the size less vents Microsoft is horrible at making hardware.

US8F3981d ago (Edited 3981d ago )

Xbox one looks like a small air conditioner

"So big, because it is full of ...."

GamersHeaven3981d ago (Edited 3981d ago )

LOL spit my drink out! Actually it looks more like a humidifier :D

Enemy3981d ago

I never really realized how closely the Xbox One resembles my cable box until now.

Skips3981d ago (Edited 3981d ago )

PS4 is HALF THE SIZE OF XBOX ONE??? LMFAO!!!! Woooow just wow. -__-

What makes it even more sad is the fact that the Xbox One is 50% LESS POWERFUL.

EDIT: Weren't there rumors of the Xbone having heat problems too???

Good thing GDDR5 produces less heat. lol

BattleAxe3981d ago

Lets be realistic you guys, it looks more like a VCR......one of the early big ones.

Bhai3980d ago

Its a Biblical issue people...

David vs Goliath!

Complete with the scene of 'People's Savior' vs 'greedy tyrant' HaHaHa!

kreate3980d ago (Edited 3980d ago )

i wonder how the xbone buyers gonna carry that home... better bring a dolley.

on a serious note, the difference is quite significant.

douevenlift3980d ago

Microsoft once again shows why they're a software company first and a hardware company... well last.
The xbox was big, clunky and ugly. The 360 looked ok, but had hardware failures that made China blush. The Xbone (pronounced ex bone, how it will forever be called) looks like my old VCR from 1992. For a second I didn't know whether to put a disc in it or put my feet up on it, or rest my drink on it lol

SilentNegotiator3980d ago

@Sonic200

Ps4 is 50% more powerful, Xbone isn't 50% less powerful.

The latter suggests a 1:2 power ratio.
The former (a fact) is a 2:3 power ratio.

fuzzyLogix3980d ago

Look forward to it sounding like you have a jet engine under your TV, PS4 is going to be te same as the PS3 Phat and only keep cool if you have 6 feet of free space around the console. Stick it in a TV cabinet and you're screwed.

ShwankyShpanky3980d ago

@fuzzy: Are you really trying to take a dig at the PS3/PS4 for heat dissipation? Really?

I won't even touch that... it's just too easy.

Ju3980d ago

And I thought it's supposed to be the next water cooler. I guess you can't believe all you hear, huh?

Well his name IS fuzzyLogix after all...

What were you expecting :)

andibandit3980d ago

Just put a door in the xbone and you've got a new room

bligmerk3980d ago

There is a pretty solid rumor that MS is having problems with eSRAM yield. There is also the rumor they are going to under-clock the SoC because of this. They have chosen to go with a big motherhonking fan on top of the SoC and make the case with whole panel sections as open grate slots. The whole combo looks like nothing but heat problems. The rumor is made even worse by the news that Gamestop has 1/4 the pre-order numbers for the XBone compared to the PS4, indicating production problems with the XBone.

The PS4 size plus lack of huge fan vents indicates Sony may be using liquid cooling heatpipes instead of a giant fan. More expensive but much more efficient and reliable. There are going to be a lot of ooh's and aah's when the case of the PS4 gets opened up to see what is inside. It will make the insides of the XBone look like it's already 10 years old in comparison.

wow and people were actually hating on the ps4's design.

Condemnedman3980d ago

Their both alwful designs but the PS4 is better out of of them but its hardly a looker .

1nsomniac3980d ago (Edited 3980d ago )

Agree with @Condemmedman. Really don't understand Sony's need for unnecessary angles.

I would prefer the XBone design but with the size of the PS4.

Or just the PS4 with no silly slanted angles. It's not only kids that buy these consoles you know!

Garbanjo0013981d ago (Edited 3981d ago )

It's hard to compare a gaming console with a giant brick of obsidian. What the hell? PS4 makes me think dirty thoughts when I touch my current controller . . . I'm gonna cheat on that bitch with a new slender, darker, dirtier whore that does things all the right way . . . she's got the "moves" too . . . bwahahahaha.

XBO looks like that ugly chick who stole your virginity while you were drunk at a party and then bragged about it to all her friends ruining your reputation. (True story).

torchic3980d ago

"stole your virginity"

Blachek3980d ago

@pimpschitz

lol

I think the Ps4 has some unique design elements, but i do like the XB1's simplicity.

Garbanjo0013980d ago (Edited 3980d ago )

Don't get me wrong I love XB. I have a 360 sitting in my living room and no PS3. (I do have a PSone however . . . FF 7-9 baby). I'm not a fan of the DRM, I think digital games are dangerous, and having the console and the games to plug in and play is not a hard thing to do.

XB revealed this magic brick that literally has to be connected to the internet to play ANY type of game. No offense but that sounds pretty simple (minded) to me.

If XBO was revealed, with games first, OPTIONAL features like the kinect or TV functions without the DRM . . . then it would actually be a console war. MS made a console like a PC. Period, and that's not exactly what gamers want.

If MS didn't do DRM, then I would have a tougher time deciding which console I'm going to get NexGen, however they DID and the PS4 will be sitting in my living room . . . that sexy piece of eye candy that I can't get enough of.

That is the power brick. lol

Blackdeath_6633980d ago (Edited 3980d ago )

i think it does the pictures released by wired that show the inside of the XBone have no evidence of an internal powersupply contradicting what we were already told by ms there was also a picture of what possibly maybe the powerbrick and it's absolutely massive. i'll try find pictures for you http://www.ign.com/boards/t... this pic shows what it will actually look like http://www.neogaf.com/forum... in these pictures you can see the inside proof that there is nothing to supply power there http://www.wired.com/gadget...

a closer look in the right pic at the top right and very top of left pic http://i.imgur.com/yPNDgek....

with regards to the size of the console people have estimated that the ps4 is 65% smaller in size to the XBone some are sayiing its 39% smaller

farhad2k83980d ago

PS4 is half the size AND more powerful, along with that, it comes with the same sized Hard Drive as the XBOX ONE (500GB).

Sony are great at creating hardware.

Virtual_Reality3980d ago (Edited 3980d ago )

And PS4 HDD is upgradable, this means, if the main HDD fails, it can be replaceable.

I actually didnt like the PS4 much when I first saw it. I thought, eww.

But its really growing on me.

The tapered front and back, the sunken shadowline and the sexy blue stripe. Please tell me that lights up like the PS2's hypnotic blight light. Everyone used to comment on that.

The front of it looks like a camero or something.

C0MPUT3R3980d ago

Just like the PS2 it looks better vertical.
.
Also to it looks like a futuristic PS2.

There was a light mentioned on one of the fact sheets sony released, cant find it now but will keep looking

TheLyonKing3980d ago

ambientFLIER3980d ago

Really??? The original PS3 looked like a george foreman grill and was larger than the xbox.

slpknt6sic63980d ago

To me the Xbone looks like a DVR and a VCR had a baby, and a betamax and first gen xbox had a baby. And by some miracle those two babys meet and fucked. Thats what we get Lol I kid.

Seriously though ps4 looks sexy.

Blachek3980d ago

I'm ok with the Xbox looking like it does. I'm not one much for an eccentric piece of "art" near my television. PS4 is very compact which is attractive, but I'm not a fan of the angles of it. Both are an upgrade in terms of aesthetic to me from last Gen.

UNGR3980d ago

Don't say anything positive in any way towards the X1, the Sony fanboys will flag you as spam, and bubble you down for trolling. Giving credit where it's due is something not appreciated here when it's credit Microsoft earned, even if they make big mistakes.

DevilishSix3980d ago

The Xbox 1 likes about the size of my Sony hi-fi VHS player purchased in 1992. Thats how far behind the times MS is. Oh and a testament to Sony's well built hardware that 21 year old Sony VHS player still works like the day I got it. Now granted that was a $300 unit two decades ago, kinda expensive but point is I trust Sony's hardware, always have.

FATHASUN3980d ago (Edited 3980d ago )

What a Box!

FATHASUN3980d ago

MS claims the the XB1 Wil be whisper quiet. We shall see. Do keep in mind that games will play off the hard drive so there may be some truth to this.

UnHoly_One3980d ago

So these are just computer mock ups.... How do we even know if this is accurate or not?

There isn't even a story that goes with the pictures saying how they got the dimensions or anything...

???

I'm not saying it's bogus, I'm just saying we have no evidence to indicate that it is accurate either.

Fairchild Channel F3980d ago

More then likely they used the dimensions in the fact sheets provided by each company.

Tsar4ever013980d ago

Microsoft doesn't design nor make it's hardware, they outsorce it to outside manufactures. MS is software. Sony on the other hand is hardware everything, they design and build everything from from ground up, but software needs to be outsourced also. I don't get how they could so ingeniously get all that cool tech in such a small package. I'd love to see the motherboard soon, to see how they pack all that gddr5 memory on board after reading only 512mb per stack come on pc graphic cards.

nirwanda3980d ago

But because of the size of the fan they have put in it will definitely be alot quieter it's the trade off you get with airflow.

jeffgoldwin3980d ago

True story. I upgraded my desktop pc with 120mm fans over the 80mm ones because they are more quiet. I don't get why that is, but Ive searched the decibel levels and larger fans are more quiet.

But I don't know what fan sizes these consoles are using.

Buckfastman3980d ago

Dont forget, the xboner needs an external power brick too. lol

NameRemoved00173980d ago (Edited 3980d ago )

@Sonic200

Ram does not run hot at all and faster ram has no benefit in games, I am againist the xbox one but saying GDDr5 ram is better than ddr3 ram for gaming is not true at all it is equal except maybe slightly faster loading times, the only heat problem would be caused by poor air flow to take the heat from the cpu/gpu out.

Jazz41083980d ago

Im sorry but they both are ugly as can be.

jeffgoldwin3980d ago

I agree. Both are ugly as sin. Anyone who thinks one looks better than the other has just drank too much fanboy koolaid.

JohnS13133980d ago

Don't understand why it needs to be that big compared to the ps4. I have a hunch that the powerbrick is just shoved in there :D

Godmars2903981d ago (Edited 3981d ago )

It is suppose to be having heat issues. Which is surprising to hear when Sony is using similar parts and there are no such rumors about the PS4.

Edit:
Sadly today most everything is China garbage. PS4 included.

@wastedwell

jonboi243981d ago

GDDR5 ram has less electric consumption than DDR3 which should reduce over-heating issues

Narutone663980d ago

Actually, PS3 and Xbox 360 are both made in China. It's the quality control and hardware designs that are different.

DevilishSix3980d ago

From what I have read over at Neo Gaf, seems MS has been having significant production and yeild issues for the chips, add that with the fact that DDR 3 runs much hotter than GDDR 5 because its much older tech, and add in another eSRAM chip on the APU die and I can see troubling heating issues.

I am not interested in the Xone, but if I was, I would wait 6 - 12 months to see if there are hardware issues. The 360 should have taught everyone that.

I am suprised the PS4 is soo compact, that is worth some praise from me. Largely similar components in a smaller device... very cool.

Bathyj3980d ago

Isnt the power brick external on the Xbone?

So you have to find room for VCR, and the brick.

kingPoS3980d ago

No the brick is separate, and it bigger & better than ever. lol

http://mygaming.co.za/news/...

No room for a power supply in there.

Godmars2903980d ago

"No room for a power supply in there."

How?

Its literally the size of a freaking VCR from the 1970s. Anything *THAT* freaking big made today by all right should have an internal power system.

I hope those disagrees are for the fact that he's acting like a 'grammar Nazi' rather than him being incorrect because he's not.

Also if you're going to correct @lucas25 then you should also point out that the "i" is not capitalized.

Also the Xbox one is relatively humongous with respect to the 360 and PS4. If there are any heating issues with the XBOX One then Microsoft should just stop making hardware

Well, to be honest it doesn't have TV, that's a gimmick. You need a cable box from your Cable provider to even use the TV Features on the Xbone.

You buy Alienware? you're lucky not to be ripped apart by the PC "master race".

But seriously don't buy Alienware they're nearly as over expensive as Apple products. Although I will add I do like Alienware products just not the pricetag.

Btw i'm not a member of the "master race" Tbh i'm probably a PS fanboy. @onyoursistersback Killzone FTW

No Man's Sky Is Easily One Of Gaming's Greatest Comeback Stories

Despite No Man Sky's rocky launch, Hello Games managed to turn it into one of the best space exploration RPGs out there.

-Foxtrot1h ago

I hate the whole concept of "comeback story" because at the end of the day it doesn't remove the core issue we had in the first place, that we were lied to, it was disappointing and it launched with bare content to what was promised for years.

Any bad game can have a comeback story if it's supported enough after launch but for me if you launch in a terrible state then you had your chance. I can applaud you for what you've done after but at the end of the day there's not much of a choice since most gamers would blank your next product if you ditched your last game so fast, it's not about repairing the game but spending your time repairing gamers trust before you launch your next product otherwise it would be dead on arrival.

With these stories and the games being updated, the only way is up most of the time so of course it's going to improve the game and feel better over all, getting better and better as time passes. No Mans Sky, Sea of Thieves, Fallout 76 etc but then you have games like Anthem, Suicide Squad, Redfall and The Avengers where the devs just clearly moved on, now if they have another product people won't be as exited for it, I mean hell Guardians of the Galaxy was a great game but because of the Avengers it didn't help its sales since people were obviously still sour at that point.

I still think despite the improvements to games like No Mans Sky and Cyberpunk along with being better now overall the games are still not up there to what was promised and hyped as for years.

If we keep celebrating these “comeback stories” then unfortunately it only strongly supports the concept that these studios / publishers can continue to push half arsed broken products out for the sake of quick sales instead of waiting until they are fully finished. We need to condemn this awful behaviour or sadly we lose all voice and power as consumers.

Sonic188119m ago(Edited 15m ago)

I feel the same way about Cyberpunk 2077. I'm glad you mentioned that. I'm not a fan of comeback stories as well. But No man sky developer was a small indie team compared to CDPR. It's worse when it's coming from a AAA developer

Nacho_Z12m ago

"Any bad game can have a comeback story if it's supported enough after launch"

You make it sound so simple and easy. It's not. After release Hello Games poured countless hours into getting their game closer to what they originally wanted, without charging a penny to anyone. That's not normal.

The reason NMS and HG are held in such high esteem and calling them liars is a weak stance is the amount of work they've put into it, for free. They're not chasing a quick buck, they've dedicated their lives over the last few years to giving their fans the game everyone wanted.

thorstein1h ago

I really enjoyed it at launch and had every trophy by August 2016.

The experience I had is no longer in the game: It was just me and my ship. It was a survival game and the feeling of loneliness in the universe was pervasive. There was no way to ruin too far from your ship and, in an emergency, you grenaded a hole in the ground to survive.

I miss that aspect, but since then, I love what they've done.
