Unless you're really nitpicky about the wire space of your entertainment setup, I really doubt a power brick harms any one. Like I said, as it stands, it's better to be safe than sorry. Cooling problems have developed in tons of consoles, especially last gen. Even the original PS3 (which was universally praised for good cooling space and the internal power supply) had kinda bad failure rates due to cooling problems down the road. Personally, I've already had a PS4 fail due to overheating, and it was in a well-ventilated area. Don't have a One (yet), so I can't comment on cooling with that, but stuffing all the components in to one package isn't always a great idea. No one will know for another few years down the road, but it may come back to nip Sony in the heels. These are things that even a console manufacturer can't know until the system has been used for a while. |
Check your maths.
PS4 needs to be 50% of the Xbone to be half-size... it is really close (61%)... if you add the power brink dimensions then it will be even more close (< 61%).
Xbone is that big.
Edit - More...
PS4 - 271 inches³
Xbone - 438 inches³
If you add the power brink dimenssions the Xbone can go up to close ~500 inches³... so PS4 will be close to 55% of the Xbone size... that is really close to half size.
