Can we have a comparison of their sizes? The PS4 looked small in Andrew House's hands at the conference.

From a gaffer:

Horse Armour · Jun 11, 2013

They're both larger than expected (Xbox especially so) considering their anaemic specs.

Auto_aim1 · Jun 11, 2013

Hardware company showing their engineering prowess. The design could have been a bit better though but I'm sure it will grow on me.

CosmicGroinPull · Jun 11, 2013

Andrew House is a giant.

snap0212 · Jun 11, 2013

I just hope they know how to cool the systems properly. I don't want to have to worry about my system overheating. :-(

This difference in size is BIG.

XBONE 7,200 cm cube
PS4 4,400 cm cube

XBONE in total volume is ~63% larger than PS4.

here you go.

Sylonious · Jun 11, 2013

The PS4 looks really small. And I was thinking it was going to be this huge box...

abic · Jun 11, 2013

Spec sheets already confirm XBONE to be 65% larger than the PS4.

Also PS4 has no power brick, it's an internal PSU and this is TBD for XBONE.

I'm not sure how the PS4 can be so small. It's also very light at 2.8kg or 6lbs. Compare that to launch PS3 at 7kg or 15lbs... PS4 is only 40% of PS3 weight.

gofreak · Jun 11, 2013

Thought this would be a comparison photoshop. Anyone done one yet? And with other systems too?

Dragon1893 · Jun 11, 2013

The PS4 even looks better. It's like watching one of those one-sided football matches.

1.21Gigawatts · Jun 11, 2013

Andrew Houser is pretty small, so it looks bigger when hes holding it,
Give it to Aisha Tyler and it'll look tiny, like everyone who is standing next to her.

I've been assuming that the indent/slit around the entire PS4 is essentially one continuous vent (although obviously not in the front).

speedpop · Jun 11, 2013

The PS4 definitely looks no bigger than the original PS3. If anything it looks marginally smaller.

nice. i hate how big the xbone is. looks pretty stylish too.

Hopefully both are just trying to avoid any overheating fiascoes.

I think this is the back of the PS4:

Looks like there's hopefully some decent cooling.

KillerTravis · Jun 11, 2013

I think it looks beautiful, a huge step up from PS3.

Damn, MS can't even catch a break even when it to inconsequential (from a purely aesthetic view) stuff like console design and size.

VanquishUK · Jun 11, 2013

I personally couldn't care less how big they are. As long as it fits on a shelf.

It's smaller than the PS3 Slim...

Acheteedo · Jun 11, 2013

Have we heard any reports of system noise? I know the Xbone is going to be quiet, I really hope the PS4 is too but at it's current size I have my doubts...

Sickbean · Jun 11, 2013

No power brick is far more important to me. Size isn't an issue to an extent - they would both take up one 'slot' under my TV.

However I like to keep all my cabling really tidy and just have a single power cord running out of the back of my TV stand if possible. Power bricks make this more difficult to achieve.

Bam Bam Baklava · Jun 11, 2013

Cooling and reliability to me are more important. Noise too.

tzare · Jun 11, 2013

Well, i still think ps4 is ugly, but as it is smaller that expected , it does not bother me that much. Plus internal power brick? awesome

Alpende · Jun 11, 2013

I have to get used to the look, it's very squarey and angled. But, it being 60+ % smaller than the Xbone is insane.

Radec · Jun 11, 2013

If the PS4 is as cool as the PS3 Slim, then I like to know what Sony Engineers are smoking back there.

Ridiculous for what's inside of it.

Oh and the power supply is inside too.

Ah, and also ~65% more powerful.

Bravo Cerny, what an achievement.

You know what's funny about this?
Sony has an internal PSU & the PS4 is still smaller than the X1 even though the X1 has an external powerbrick.

Ghost · Jun 11, 2013

If there's any kind of compromise on sound or heat I would have preferred to have it bigger, I guess this is where the old japanese living room design motivation comes into play.

I'll be cautiously optimistic though, Sony has done everything else right.

Looks cool but I hope it's enough for the console to cool down.

GamerJM · Jun 11, 2013

Honestly, the Xbox One's design is more perplexing than anything else MS has done with the XOne so far, at least from a business perspective. I mean, I know WHY they're doing the DRM stuff, I know WHY they're doing the multimedia stuff. I honestly have no idea why they're going through with this design. It's not modern, it doesn't look good.

Easy to do, I think the only good model in PS3 is the Slim.

WOW.IT CAN FLY WITH AIR COMING OUT OF ALL THESE VENTS

KOHIPEET · Jun 11, 2013

I think it looks cool, especially when put vertically. I hope there won't be any overheating, but technically the machine does not have a back end, so that should be enough.

Marvifom · Jun 11, 2013

It looks like the Ps2 slim.....I like it.

IHaveCandy · Jun 11, 2013

Smaller system = smaller components = less heat.

derFeef · Jun 11, 2013

Man it's really small, I hope their cooling is good. Design grew on me, looks good laid down.

Aostia · Jun 11, 2013

Is the PS4 not so bigger than the Wii U?

PS3 slim has a lot less venting at the back.

Both have hidden intakes around the sides too.

Aostia said:

It's a lot wider but height and depth are similar.

I thought the proportions looked more like a slightly thinner (and much smaller overall) PS2 TOOL:

Americanmushroom · Jun 11, 2013

why did no-one do a photoshop comparison yet?

zomgbbqftw · Jun 11, 2013

Damn, figure of 8 cable. Internal power brick confirmed. :O

Xboned.

Ostinatto · Jun 11, 2013

where is this part?

I think somebody said that it's the headset that comes with the system.

What manner of witchcraft is this!?

Salvor.Hardin · Jun 11, 2013

This is some magic hardware design by Sony. It's smaller and doesn't have an external brick. Reminds me of the PS2 as well which is neat.

Replicant · Jun 11, 2013

It looks smaller than I thought. Looks like one of those HDTV antenna receiver. I'm starting to like the design.
