Are Xbox One buyers REALLY paying $100 more for weaker hardware?

I always wondered what's actually inside. I mean bigger case for less hardware? There must be extra receptacles for the secret sauce.

 

Which less hardware? It's all on a die, you won't see the cu's onboard... Their board-design is just way more pc-like, unlike PS4. And in their first iteration of retail hardware for the one I think it's good to play safe considering the RROD-disaster...

Last time I checked PSUs count as hardware. And yes the die is the same size but it shouldn't get as hot as the PS4's and as such would need less cooling. Cooling being one of the biggest space occupiers.

PS4 isn't overheating(as one think it would with such a small system) so either the X1 likes it really really cool or there are some magic parts in there that nobody knows of. Or air.

 

it gets especially hot because of the edram. Like I said, it is way more conservative and more like a pc-board. And there were disassemblies of the board, you can easily find them on the internet and look for it for yourself.
