It’s worth noting that load temps of under 50C are incredibly low for a PC-like system — the AMD APU in both consoles is probably rated to work faultlessly for years at 70C or more. Judging by the similar load temps, we would argue that the Xbox One’s increased size isn’t to reduce the chance of thermal failure — rather, it’s a sign that Microsoft’s engineering team simply wasn’t good enough to design a console that was small, light, and had good thermals. = BOOM BITCHES!!!
We must remember that the Xbox 360 suffered from awful reliability, mainly due to thermal issues. It is highly likely that the Xbox One was intentionally over-engineered so that it had absolutely no chance of suffering the same fate. Microsoft also says that it designed the Xbox One to last for 10 years — and again, such epic longevity is only really possible through intentional over-engineering (a thicker chassis, a larger-than-necessary fan, heavier and higher-quality components).
When asked why the PS4 is so physically superior to the Xbox One, the simple answer is: Sony is better than Microsoft at designing hardware. If you’re a PlayStation fanboy, this is probably the answer that you’ll proudly parrot for the next six years or so. In all honesty, that might be the actual answer, too.In fact, rather than being significantly cooler than the PS4, the Xbox One’s case temperature is actually higher. During games, the Xbox One case temperature (directly above the CPU) was 49 degrees Celsius; the PS4 was just 44 degrees Celsius. The PS4 is slightly noisier under load, but you won’t notice the difference from more than a meter or two away (i.e. sitting on your couch). It would seem that all of that extra space in the Xbox One doesn’t serve much purpose. = XBONE SUCKS BALLS!
