[fuzzyreactor]

Dem sony engineers. So beautiful.

 

[Rodney McKay]

Holy crap, that's awesome.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

 

[shwimpy]

My goodness...

 

[Bombadil]

Damn. The PS4 looked bigger when the guy was holding it.

Is it about the size of a PS2?

 

[dhonk]

How?!

 

[MikeE21286]

No wonder Sony is so proud of the design.

Small AND powerful.

 

[legacyzero]

Good lord why make the Xbone so big lol

 

[Monty Mole]

GAF > Internet > GAF

 

[Ovid]

That has to be shopped, right? I didn't realize PS4 was so much smaller.

Geez, that launch PS3 was huge.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

GAF>Internet>GAF.

this is moldy, bro.

 

[stuminus3]

I had my suspicions that the guy at the conference was much shorter than me.

 

[Nafai1123]

PS4 slim smartphone confirmed

 

[PhatSaqs]

XB1 is inflated by the cloud obviously.

 

[Raxus]

Them side by sides. Sony must have used devil magic in order to pull off fitting all that power into such a tiny console.

 

[Vic]

Impressive

 

[commedieu]

Good lord wht make the Xbone so big lol

Delusions take up a lot of space.

edit;

I'm not really impressed by the size in 2013. Considering how far we've come with mobile technology. The Xbone is throwing us off, but this is the size these things should be with the tech. MS had all the options sony did.

 

[Zombie James]

How?!

SoC's, slimmer optical drives, lower power requirements == less needed for cooling.

 

[AkuMifune]

How?!

After designing a console around cell, Sony engineers found x86 to be like lego's.

 

[Bombadil]

What about heat dispersion?

I hope Sony didn't make the same mistake as MS with the 360.

 

[bidguy]

a software company lacking in hardware. what a surprise.

sony will always come out on top when its about this stuff.

 

[H_Prestige]

Launch ps3 still the classiest. I wish my 60gb still worked.

 

[Yawnier]

Xbox One must be so big because it is full of Don Mattrick's and Phil Harrison's bullshit, no other possible explanation.

 

[sTeLioSco]

that doesn't seem right

 

[MisterC20XX]

The PS4 looks like a PS2 that went 1000 years into the future, got an upgrade, and has come back to tell us how wonderful games will be!

 

[LCfiner]

wow, had no idea. Earlier photos made it look like it had the same width and depth of the xb one but was about half as tall.

but it turns out to be much much smaller. very, very nice.

 

[Metalmurphy]

No wonder Sony is so proud of the design.

Small AND powerful.

And with an internal power supply oO

 

[Sojgat]

Good lord wht make the Xbone so big lol

All that DRM takes up space.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

It looks like MS just ordered parts and built a HTPC.

 

[TheSeks]

What about heat dispersion?

I hope Sony didn't make the same mistake as MS with the 360.

Yep, that's the worry I have with the small size. X-box 180 was pretty large but had room for the heat to move through the console to where it was rock solid. 360 shrunk in size a bit but had that bite them in the ass.

 

[binarymelon]

Should we be concerned that it's maybe too small? My launch PS3 sounds like a jet engine when the fans get going. Could this have heat issues?

 

[Izick]

Isn't there a giant fan in the XB1? I'm guessing they don't want another RROD on their hands.

Also, have both been confirmed to have internal power storages, or are we going to see bricks?

 

[Tallshortman]

Goddamn Sony engineers hitting their stride. Did not realize the difference was that huge.

EDIT: Hmm saw some comments about PS4 disc drive, is this accurate?

EDIT2: nvm, yep disc drive is right above USB ports, same disc slot as xbone

 

[SnakeswithLasers]

Meh, the XB1 floats on the cloud:

While the PS4 is just another terrestrially confined brick:

RIGHT GUYS???

 

[marc^o^]

This is misleading as Xbox One can't stand vertically, which is a terrible flaw as far as WAF is concerned. In my set up I couldn't find a place for it, it would have to lay on the ground (or I'd need to change my TV stand, which I wouldn't do).

 

[Lion Heart]

And with an internal power supply oO

 

[Bringer Of Bacon]

Launch ps3 still the classiest. I wish my 60gb still worked.

I still have mine. It's not nearly as exciting as you remember.

 

[Dead Prince]

microsoft must still think like they are actually building a pc.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

It looks like MS just ordered parts and built a HTPC.

Makes it seem like the console was rushed, while Sony has been carefully designing theirs for half a decade.


Is it true the PS4 has an internal power supply and the X1 has a power brick? That makes this comparison even more remarkable.

 

[Russell]

Can someone please explain to me how this is even possible?

 

[Kid Ska]

Wow. I didn't know about the comparison to current gen systems. That's very impressive.

 

[Red Chocobo]

It's the shape that matters.

 

[Mama Robotnik]

So the PS4 is cheaper, more compact and decidedly more powerful than the XBox One?

 

[Acquiescence]

The smaller a console is, the better. And the PS4 is pretty darn small.

 

[Brinbe]

Thing is less powerful than a PS4 and bigger than a fucking launch PS3, how?

 

[Portugeezer]

Size doesn't really matter, but when it's that small it's actually a benefit for me. I know exactly where it will go!

 

[RoKKeR]

All of that AND an integrated PSU. Damn.

 

[monkey666]

Remember the internal pictures comparisons of the xbox, PS2 and Cube. The xbox looked like a monkey through some wiring together in comparison to the other two.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

And with an internal power supply oO

Yeah, I wondering about this, too. Microsoft is still going to have that brick tethered to the XBO, which annoys the shit out of me sometimes (all the time) with my 360.
