XBOX ONE looks like the better made console. Better build quality.

[QUOTE="Davekeeh"]

PS4 looks 100x better, Xbox One looks to have cheap plastic material

Those pictures don't help your argument. The PS4 looks filmsy in comparison.

Please do explain what makes you think that something  looks flimsy.

You're both idiots.

I just can't believe how ugly both consoles are they need to sacked whoever thought up the design of the things.Duckyindiana

I don't care about what looks more durable, I only care about which name comes first in the alphabet. P comes before X, FACT.

Frankly, both consoles looks like something that you'd see from 15 years ago. What were they thinking?! The PS3 20GB/40GB/60GB/80GB models still look miles better than the half-assed job of the XBox One's and PS4's design.

Who cares what they look like??

As long as they work!

X1 looks dead sexy. The PS4 looks like a wheel chock so your car doesn't roll away. I agree that the X1 looks better built while the Sony has recycled plastic from the original Playstation.FoxbatAlpha

Not being able to place the X1 vertically is a turn off for me. It takes a load of space that i dont have.

Xbone is the ugliest game system ever made. It is big and ugly and still has a power brick. It looks like a VCR and air conditioner.

The XBOX ONE looks to be made much more robust and durable than the PS4. It weighs more, looks more stout, and seems to have better cooling as well.

The XBOX ONE is higher priced than the PS4 for a reason ---> It's better made with higher build quality!

The PS4 looks flimsy in comparison.

Who agrees?

Baurus_1

I dont !!!

thread backfired nicely xD

Well Sony has a better history of making durable products; I better my launch PS3 would still be running just fine if it hadn't gotten crushed in a suitcase on a flight (f'ing luggage handlers...)

But in terms of appearance, they're all kinda ugly.  Very ps2-era boxy.  not impressed

It's a box that's gonna sit on a shelf. It could be made out of polystyrene and it wouldn't matter. Except for the part where that's a thermal insulator.

If the durability of the box itself is a priority to you then I suggest the Gamecube. Videographic documentation has proven it to be superior.

Sony = hardware manufacturer, MS = software manufacturer

That explains the different visions in cooling (its the cooling that doesnt allow the X1 to be placed vertically), Sony can just fecth parts from other Sony depts at production cost and assemble a proper device (ps3 cooling fans were the most expensive/effective of the time).

It also explains the different approach in hardware design, MS went for single APU taking performance reserve for background tasks (10%) like video recording/streaming, apps, while Sony can just grab a ARM chip from another dept for background tasks, and a dedicated video/audio chip from its camcorder dept for the vid streaming recording and audio processing. Sony camcorder dept has dedicated audio/video chips that allow recording of 1080p60 directly to HDD with a memory footprint of 256kb-2mb, and virtually NO cpu usage.

There are clear advantages of being a BIG hardware manufacturer when it comes to getting parts for a new device.

nice to know youve seen the ps4** upclose, used it, felt the material , etc. go blog it. 

This thread should have died after the first reply.

I agree. Xbox One looks like it's built very nicely, and PS4 does look cheap and flimsy. I'm still getting a PS4 over Xbox One tho.

Eh, it's a box.Basinboy

You are probably right.  MS has made very durable, reliable, and well designed consoles in the past........:lol:

Well... Their previous console did pretty good at only a 50% FAILURE RATE.... So I have high hopes for the X1 (which I'm not getting).

OP is just opinion. I was expecting facts

The design of the XBox One is about as elegant as a brick through your window with a five page love letter attached.  OP is a pleeb.

The Xbox One will have better cooling, or i'd assume so. The PS4 uses all parts that run hotter than the One, yet it is smaller and slimmer, not allowing for a fan like this:

thats one big fan and heatsink, gigantic in fact. The one will have no heat issues, it seems that was their main concern for design.

Xbone is the ugliest game system ever made. It is big and ugly and still has a power brick. It looks like a VCR and air conditioner.

lol MS better build quality. All we can base this on is the past, and they were dead last the past gen in terms of build quality. The Kinect and x360 arguably shouldn't have been legally allowed in stores.

lol MS better build quality.

The PS4 seems to be half the size of the X1! That is a big difference to me.

When it comes to hardware, i trust Sony more than MS.

2 years ago i sold my launch PSX and my launch PS2, both were still working good, only the lasers were a bit tired. I played FF9 one last time before i said goodbye to my PSX, it was the best console i ever had!

People are just making threads about nonsense these days. Having never seen either console in person, 99% of people can't judge. Personally, I think the PS4 looks much better design wise, but again, I've never seen them in person. I'm sure last gen you were saying the 360 was a better made console, until about 6 months after launch when everyone started realizing that their consoles were breaking left and right.

Hardware Sony>>>MS until MS can sell me a console I don't have to replace (360 RROD and original, disk drive wouldn't eject)

Games are about equal

OS is about equal

Live>PSN though as an online community (unless a bunch of people jump to PS4 from 360 and PSN community becomes more talkative like Live.

Just the way I see it.

Haha freaking kids talking about "build quality"... Anyway the controller is where it's at. I already pre-ordered a PS4, but I have a feeling that MS will win in the controller category again.. Oh well, small price to pay for a better overall gaming experience.

Not that it matters, or that i care.

When i had the 360 and PS3, the PS3 was overall a higher quality machine.

xbox one final build :lol:

Well I guess we'll have to wait and see which approach is better. How efficient will the PS4 be? Have you seen the inside? Do you know what the core temps and noise are going to be like? No, so until then we have no idea what approach they are taking. All im saying is the Xbox is designed like I would design a PC im building. Lots of room for air to move around, and a large cooler to spit the air out. Sony has hotter parts that are all closer together and will be cooled by multiple small fans(or im assuming so because there isnt much room). That isnt to say the PS4 will red ring you, but ill bet money that it is louder and hotter than the "silent" (thats what ms said) and cooler running Xbox One. This is assumption and opinion, I would design a console more like the One.
