Wow though.. in all seriousness
I remember an interview that went along the lines of the first thing the Japanese thought when they seen the original Xbox was that it was too big...
How big is this compared to the Original xbox?

It is thinner than the original Xbox 360 and like a hair taller than the original 360 with the HDD in. Overall it's pretty much like the same size as the old Xbox 360 and slimmer than the old PS3.
People who say the Xbox One is "enormous" have obviously never seen it in person.

No, but in this situation, the case is so large to accommodate a huge heatsink.

The old comparisons (the mock ups) made the Xbox One look a bit bigger than the PS4, but good lord that looks huge compared to the PS4 (more so when you add the power brick on the Xbox One).
WOW.
WOW.

I still think both of the consoles are ugly as sin, regardless of size. It will just be easier to hide the ugliness with PS4.

LOL.
"Symbol of the 21st century"........LOL
Holy crap man, It's a piece of consumer electronics. Step outside the bubble for a day.
BTW: I agree, I bet Apple would create a great looking console....and it would cost $1000 at least which doesn't make them good designers, it makes them shameless.
IMO, a guy who can get the same thing out of a cheaper, smaller box is the better designer, not the guy who can spend the most money and charge the most at retail.

They're quite similar actually. XB1 is a little bit wider but beside that they take roughly the same amount of space on the shelf. I've seen the XB1 in person a couple times and it doesn't scream "HUGE!" when you see it. My DVR is bigger than the XB1 actually.
The PS4 is quite small, but doesn't blend as well in a living room setting IMO, the shape is a bit too wild for my taste. That's why I prefered the OG PS3 to the OG X360 this gen. Blends a lot better under the TV.

step out of your bubble and into the real world. apple gives people what they crave and it drives their success. they create art not electronics

Having seen and played a retail X1 myself, I must say that I was quite shocked when I saw it. It was actually a lot smaller in person than it appears in photos & video. That being said, after seeing these comparison photos, the PS4 must be very small indeed.

That XB1 is such an ugly design which just shows MS is not a hardware company. PS4 is like in another class, like Apple designed iPhone. Really classy looking and compact but yet more powerful. How they managed to even have no power brick is just amazing! Wish Sony PS would hire some great OS/UI/UX designers too.

I think they purposefully designed it that big so that it would blend well with DVR's and such. PS4 is so small it would leave a lot of empty space on a shelf under the TV. Doesn't look too hot IMO.

Somebody put the Xbone power brick next to the thing and take another photo.

Wow. Considerably smaller and more powerful...and no power brick.

What's striking isn't the large size of the X1 (it's not much bigger than the original 360), it's just how damn small the PS4 is. It's crazy.

At least 90's consoles were pretty small in size, Xbone looks like it sould be rack mountable like an amp
I have never been a fan of both Sony and MS's hardware design. The Xbox, the 360 and now the XB1 all were huge to me. The XB1 is the size of an early 90's VCR.
Actually the PS2 and PS3 both look like speaker amps to me.

What is people obsession with an powerbrick size?
This might be obscure, but does anyone remember that joke article that came out years ago about how the original XBOX was the size of the second story of a house or something like that? I even think there was a fake picture that went with it. I always thought it was funny, but I've never been able to dig it up on the internet. If it helps, I think it was something I read linked off of Gaming-Intelligence Agency.
Not obsession but it's their 3rd console and the power brick is still not inside and it is still not universally rated in voltage or whatever.
Power bricks, extra wires, Kinect, charging cradles, charger for gamepad...all these things complicate matters and make things messy IMO.
I usually buy a PS console for the family because it's simple. Just a console, HDMI and power cable. Kids approved.
Another factor was region free but at least X1 is the same as well.
Sure, there's a pic of one in the OP next to the PS4.
