This is obviously an assumption on my part based on generalization of the hardware physical size difference between Xbox One and PS4.
Considerations:
1) Existing rumors from over a year that discuss issues MS is having with its yields on its APU.
2) My comparison thread that shows MSony have nearly identical configurations internally.
- same cpu
- MS using smaller gpu but adding 32MB of embedded memory on APU
- both have separate 8gbs of ram (separate in terms of not in apu)
- 500gb HDDs
- PS4 has internal PSU while Xbone uses brick in power cord (this is a huge difference here)
- BR drive in both
- Same basic other connections (usb, hdmi, etc)
Yet, the Xbox One is significantly larger. Why? The only real possibility is cooling. MS has a much larger need to reduce internal heat on their configuration than Sony does. Thus they have a larger cooling solution and increased inside volume in order to dissipate heat better.
While at surface value this is a big so the fuck what scenario, when you take it into account along with the rumors of MS having issues with their APUs due to added complexity of having eSRAM on the chip, then you have a supported concern that yes, this device very well may have cooling issues which was the big culprit in RROD.
Obviously take this with a big grain of salt as its just my assumptions. However, I think it makes perfect sense.

No.
The only console that had a problem during their E3 presentation was the PS4 with two separate demos crashing. In each case the GPU obviously had problems.
No, the size of the Xbox One is so it looks more like a piece of home entertainment equipement.
The PS4 is 12.8" deep. The Xbox One is 10.4" deep.
The PS4 is 10.8" long. The Xbox One is 13.5" long.
If you turn the PS4 on its side, it's almost the same dimension as the Xbox One. It's just 3/4" longer, yet just under a 1/2" narrower.
The only dimension where the PS4 is signficantly smaller, by percentage, is height. Here the PS4 is 2.1" tall, and the Xbox One is 3.2".
Wow! Oh My GOSH!!!! The Xbox One is SO much bigger!!!
The difference in area is 2.16" square. Do you really think 2"sq is going to make a big difference in terms of cooling?

Battlefield 4 crashed on the Xbox One. Assassins Creed froze but unfroze and Destiny had a lag problem that lasted for 2 seconds in which that was a server problem not a PS4 problem.

battlefield didn't crash it was running smooth... sound feedback was off in the auditorium that's it.... don't know about sony though... got tired to watch since i couldn't get a steady stream.... but crashes for a piece of tech is pretty normal.... I have yet to see a single device that never crashed on me.... heck even my oven did a month ago and I had to reboot it lol
