Based on the tear downs they both look well designed but with different philosophies.
There's no getting around the fact the X1 is big and that giant fan should help keep it cool. They even kept the external power brick so there's plenty of space for cooling. Guess they don't want a RRoD so they've over-engineered it to keep cool.
The PS4 looks more intelligently engineered. It uses Sony's smaller cooling system even though it has a lot less room for cooling and manages to have an internal PSU whilst using up a lot less space.
