The PS4 back vents look perfect for a barbecue party.

Cell was 90nm initially and Blu-Ray was a new tech too. But they managed to shrink it in later revisions.

..or to make sure that they don't have a repeat of the RROD fiasco.
I've added the wiiu too using the width of the disc slot as a parameter of the scaling, it might not be perfect but it's not too distant from the truth
That's what Nintendo got for using the shamefully old 45nm production a console that technically is a gen behind for a size that's barely smaller than the most powerful one that crushes it power wise.
What so you mean? The wii u is more than half the size of the ps4. I don't consider that to be barely smaller.

That xbone rear layout looks just like your average PC motherboard layout. I wonder if they literally built this 'off the shelf' with modified pc parts for a lot of it.

Seems accurate, good job.
PS4 takes laser discs.
Nah, the motherboard is definitely custom since it's using a CPU/GPU/memory setup that doesn't exist anywhere else, but I agree that it looks like a very traditional PC backplate layout.
If you plan to take your system somewhere, you might notice how big/heavy the system is. On the other hand, there's probably far less reason to take the Xbone anywhere that doesn't have an online connection (or is outside some list of authorized regions).
From what's been said about the two machines during the run up to E3 people were saying the ESRAM in the Xbox One would make for a huge APU die. I kept seeing the same thing about that type of memory being repeatedly: large, hot, expensive. By comparison the GDDR5 on my videocard doesn't even have passive cooling and it does just fine. PS4's memory also seems slightly slower than the standard memory.
So that could explain why one is a large box and the other is considerably smaller. I have no idea how the hell they got an internal PSU in there.
Wherever the wii u fit there's a very high possibility that the ps4 will fit in there too.
Also consider the power/area ratio, it's laughable.
Oh don't forget the PSU... PS4 has no power brick but the wiiu does, the more you think about it the more is ridiculous.
Appeal both who like matte and glossy.

I knew it was small, but dayum!
No? The article just says that the PS4's aspect ratio is similar to the original Wii.

Huh? I can't remember when I've ever seen a DVD player that large and especially tall. Maybe first ones ever made back in 2000.

They could just use proper solder to avoid that lol

Anybody care to do a side-by-side comparison with the original Xbox?

A 2001 DVD Player?
Width and depth.. The same as a receiver or DVD player.
It's actually not that tall.

They cant due to lead being non RoHS compliance, i use lead free solder in far more complex things than a games console and dont have an issue once thermal profiles are done correctly.

Considering the other dimensions and what's inside, it definitely is tall. I'd like the design much better if it was 30-40% slimmer, and considering how much empty space they have inside and that they use big BD drive, they probably could have made it that much smaller.
Wii is smaller than WiiU, hence according to them, PS4 is smaller than WiiU. They are talking about the compactness of the frame, not the aspect ratio.
Xbox One looks to be one of, if not the biggest console ever. On top of that the new kinect looks pretty huge. Theres the external power brick, and for anyone that wants a lot of games an external harddrive will be needed too.
No wonder they call it the Xbox One. There's only going to be room for One console in your setup when thats in there.

that's cos Andrews hands are tiny. seriously tiny
to be honest i would purposefully red light my console just to get a red and black ps4 color scheme going to match my room

I still think the concave shape of the Xbox 360 makes it the best looking console.
I like those curves

I'm pretty sure that's not right in fact I'm certain it's not right, the PS4 disc slot looks tiny compared to the other three.

Can someone do a size comparison with the ps2?
Seems accurate, good job.
Quick and dirty measurement says those slots aren't the same size. PS4 should be bigger.
They should have had Shaq come out to unveil the console design...

XBone bigger than the OG PS3? Yikes.
I wonder how XBone compares to the XB1

If they're all the same size slot then the PS4 drive finishes half way through the first USB slot. Also my vision is perfectly fine thanks.

Seriously. The size of this thing is what surprised me the most. I'd like to see a comparison to the PS2 Slim

It depends on the angle. I do agree however with how tiny his hands were, I oddly noticed it before he was holding it too. Regardless here is another angle. Looks much smaller from this angle.

PS4 is smaller and has better graphics.. wut.

They used the wrong one. strata8's design was eyeballing it, nib95's design uses dimensions:
Also, in the picture, there's an optical illusion, the PS4 looks even smaller than it is due to the slanting. In reality both sides of the front facing PS4 are the same width.
As promised, to scale comparisons of the three next gen consoles.
