Further evidence that MS is potentially having hardware issues in cooling.

The vent is in the inset portion, on the back and sides.  On the sides, if the inset is a U channel, it's on the bottom side of the channel, it could also be on the top but that isn't visible.  The front is the only portion where it doesn't exist.

This image shows the rear, and you can just make out the side vents on either side on the bottom of the channel.

This image shows the side.  You can make out the angular vents on the bottom side of the channel that extend front to rear.

If it weren't for two things, I would really like the PS4 design.  The angle of the front and back, and I think they should have flipped the division of the case.  I think the larger side should have been on the left, and the smaller one on the right.  That way, the Blu-Ray player wouldn't have been almost in the middle.

And yes, I would have been happier with the Xbox One if it was actually more rectangular rather than having that odd angle in the front.

Thanks for this. I hadn't seen the rear of the console (that sounds wrong... but you get what I mean). I was slightly worried about cooling on the console but that looks quite open to aeration.

The designs are growing on me. The parrallelogram is a little strange but I think it could work in my entertainment centre.
