Why is the Xbox One bigger than the PS4?

Theres more stuff inside the Xbox One than there is in the PS4?

Here you go -- Phenominal Article --

Xbone is bigger, heavier, fatter, weaker, uglier, more expensive, overall it's just poorly designed console....i bet it'll break easier too

X1 has little gremlins working inside

PS4 runs on magic

They have to cool the power of the cloud.

Because the XOne is a custom built, optomised, very efficient console that is silent.

PS4 is an off the shelf cram job that will probably sound like a jet engine, just like the fat PS3.

ah...... so glad to see you're still trolling around.

Been out for a month and the trolls havent changed a bit.

cuz X1 was rushed.Nengo_Flow

More space for some of the extra features? or to give more/better cooling to avoid RROD

Because they need have room for that huge brick of power-supply in there...oh wait :lol:

Because Microsoft's engineers are terrible.

Not very optimal with space now is it? In theory if it were so custom compared to the PS4, it would be a more compact unit.

Regardless that aside, I think it's just that Japanese hardware >>> American hardware. Microsoft have the edge in Software design, Sony have it in hardware design.

M$ sucks at making hardware.

where do you think it fits all the power of the cloud? mems_1224

I was hoping in the sky with the other clouds :P

Because MS is not an experienced hardware manufacturer (RRODs, Surface RT, etc prove it).

MS should stick to software...

Sony, has bucket loads of experience in a multitude of hardware and devices.

Also, the X1 is huge and fugly because they need to fit clouds inside it.

Because in America we do things big, just look at our SUVs and trucks...:PSpartan070

:lol: Well played. Don't forget meal sizes :)

Why don't we wait and see how loud and hot they get before chastising the Xbox One for being bigger? After the RROD disaster MS are clearly trying their hardest to make sure the console has good air flow and won't overheat or anything, making it bigger is probably part of that.bobbetybob

Because Sony has more experience in slimmer, more optimized hardware. (Blu_Ray players, handhelds, Slim Playstation models)

Microsoft always makes ginormous monstrosities of hardware requiring big ugly power bricks. They are clueless in the Hardware department.

Sony's decades of experience and electronic hardware architects are far superior than Microsoft's.

Or perhaps Sony just have better engineers,:cool:

They're bannnd in NYC though.

It's poorly designed. Microsoft is not a hardware company

Damn thing has a power bring outside :lol:

Yeah, but he has a point. The PS4, by Sony's own admission, is an "off the shelf" console, whereas the XB1 is highly customized.

customized in what sense? so devs will have to "learn" another language?

While the processor and GPU are based on the same AMD tech, the XB1's CPU is custom built just for the XB1, the same as it's GPU.

Sony went an "off the shelf" route. That's not necessarily a "bad" thing, it's just a different approach.

Enjoy the small overheating PS4, Cows! :D

Probably just prioritizing cooling vs compactness.

I imagine MS is a bit paranoid after the RROD fiasco. Having components spread out improves the cooling capabilities.

It's mostly an aesthetic decision in how each wants their console to look. MS appears to have chosen a design to fit in with other a/v components while Sony chose a more unique appearance. It has very little, if anything to do with cooling as, contrary to popular belief, a bigger box does not mean better cooling once you include fan(s).asylumni

yes actually a bigger box does improve cooling, a cluttered box increases resistance to airflow and makes the fans work harder.

Well, half the console is a gargantuan fan.

Yeah Sony might regret not making a bigger case. ;)

And yet Sony Trolls and MS haters think somehow that the Xbox One is going to have hardware issues like the 360! :roll:
