Sure, there's a pic of one in the OP next to the PS4.

He said VCR, not turntable.

the symbol of the 21st century was created here


dont even try to pin ms and sony's garbage designs on the rest of the tech world. Apple's console would eat these alive

clearly i agree...
i like the xb1 design today squared. is the fashion of the designer...but is really big...cmon and i hate the power brick
i totally dont like the aerodynamic (wtf they was thinkin) design of the ps4 and that patterned plastic seem so cheap....and also the ds4 seem cheap material...must be that gray dont know ...just a feeling

and before you start im talking about design nothing else

if they do a white version of the xb1 the first year...ill drools

 

[FasTriggeR]

Lmao, the spin on that

Not a spin at all. Microsoft designed Surface and Surface Pro, they're quite capable of compact designs. It's obvious that the Xbox One size is a design choice.

 

[Beer Monkey]

X1 big and ugly but not as bad as phat PS3.

 

[Liferebooted]

Ugh, I'm gonna wait for the Xbone redesign before I bite =\

 

[Aizu_Itsuko]

That's one massive difference... and the Xbox One not only is slower but it also has an external power brick? Wow.

 

[DigitalFirefly]

PS4 looks fragile and wobbly.

 

[TrojanBlade]

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.

MS PR account? what a spin man lol

 

[TonkuySlon]

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.

I had the same reaction having seen it...it doesn't look anywhere as big in person as pics...not sure why that is.

 

[Last Hope]

Someone needs to make a picture of this thing on the flatbed transportation vehicle for the space shuttle.

With all the criticism they got for the size of the original, they tried their hardest to make the second one as small as possible. And now this monstrosity?

Just who the hell is running this division? Looks like the PS4 is about half the volume.

 

[Jburton]

The fan takes up all the room.

This is totally wrong.

Lots of games with interesting "design choice" too.

 

[Raide]

I like the idea or buying an Xbox One to stop the PS4 wobble. Get all the games!

 

[DigitalFirefly]

Xbox One is bigger because the DDR3 RAM is older tech and 6 times the size of GDDR5 right?

 

[TonkuySlon]

This is totally wrong.

The cloud?

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

Oh lol, are you being sarcastic?

Art, dude its a fucking phone.

Guys no need for bashing. If you don't agree with me at least tell me why.

 

[oSoLucky]

Makes me think of

 

[Dereck]

Thank goodness I don't put my consoles on shelves.

?

 

[Goldmund]

I really like how the Xbone looks. It's a bummer it's a bit "big-boned", yeah. The (hopefully smaller) re-designs will be great, I think the overall look has potential.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

PS4 looks very sexy compared to that big Xbone.

 

[TheKayle]

PS4 looks fragile and wobbly.

this is really a ridiculous design ahahah someone need to be fired NOW for this haahah!

 

[akachan ningen]

Xbox doubles as a helipad.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Difference is even more shocking considering the Xbox One dosn't have the powerbrick in the console...

 

[iShouldGoPro]

It's like sticking a toothpick into a volcano

 

[Arkam]

I like how certain members of the media have been all "the XB1 really isn't as big as you think it is".

Have you seen one in person?
I have and its smaller than you think. Pretty much the same size as the launch 360.
The PS4 is just some kinda dark magic to be that sleek. (its very sexy)
While I do trust sony hardware it does worry me.
After the RRoD I am glad to see MS giving it some breathing room.

 

[John Caboose]

Going on the dimensions posted by XboxOneDev on Reddit I'm only going to have a millimeter or so to spare to fit the Xbox One into my furniture... I really hope it fits.

no cmon is the bigger console ever...

 

[Qassim]

I like the Xbox One design more - doesn't look as cheap. Hopefully that bigger case makes for a quieter, cooler system.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Microsoft taking no chances when it comes to hardware failure. Good for them.
They can get cute when they release the slim model. No one wants another launch disaster.

has less vents than ps4, wat

 

[Borgia]

The xbone is pretty massive and that's with a power brick. It still blows my mind how small the ps4 is and it still requires no power brick.

 

[DigitalFirefly]

has less vents than ps4, wat

On the back yes, but half of the top of the system is a vent.

 

[TheKayle]

On the back yes, but half of the top of the system is a vent.

+ also the sides

honestly if it was 5 cm shorter (in horizontal) was nicer...but the design is lovely

 

[shadowsdarknes]

Is the XB1 + the power brick the largest console ever?

OG PS3 was bigger but it had no power brick.

 

[Senor Kami]

I happen to think the Xbone is the BBW of gaming consoles.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

I happen to think the Xbone is the BBW of gaming consoles.

I used to say that about my Phatty PS3.

 

[Mix]

Honestly, I think it's amazing how the two complement each other as far as how good they could look in a living room together.

 

[Lynn616]

MS probably made it bigger than they needed so they can do a early redesign.

 

[Oppo]

this is really a ridiculous design ahahah someone need to be fired NOW for this haahah!

That's ok. You can prop up the PS4's one side with the $100 in small bills that you saved by not buying an Xbone.

 

[Demon Ice]

I can't believe the PS4 is managing that form factor with an internal PSU. Unreal.

 

[MThanded]

Amazing how MS couldn't get an internal power supply in such a huge chassis.

Damn.

 

[TheKayle]

ill no buy a ps4 for 8 months at least till when we will have some reasonable exclusive game to play...

ill wait to see the game review for the bbw xb1

but i really dont know the console designers wtf was thinkin when they dont add feets on that side

 

[CrackPebbles]

Now thats a big dick american console.

 

[DasDamen]

Cool. Xbone is big enough to be a pedestal for the PS4.

 

[Mermandala]

 

[TomoK]

I like the Xbox One design more - doesn't look as cheap. Hopefully that bigger case makes for a quieter, cooler system.

I thought I was the only one who preferred the Xbox One's design. I love both, but the Xbox One looks so clean, modern and simple. It'll sit perfectly beneath any television. I love everything about its design, except the size of it.

I think it's well worth the size if it's quiet, and cool.

 

[jimbobsmells]

this is really a ridiculous design ahahah someone need to be fired NOW for this haahah!

Wow if they fire someone over that they better get ready for a lawsuit. Who the hell pushes down on their console all day anyway?

 

[VanWinkle]

When are you going to get an XB1?

 

[Bad_Boy]

Keep fighting that good fight TheKayle.
