Yeah, I see that now. I messed up with the calculations.

Still, not sure if adding a power brick to the equation (since it isn't directly part of the console) is fair, but to each their own.

yeah the power brick doesn't really matter, imo since it's going to be hidden somewhere. Point is, original guy was right. It's almost half the size, and has the 'power brick' inside itself, so how can xb1 still be so big for heat regulation purposes?

Yeah, that he was. My bad for messing up the dimension scale. Microsoft is playing it safe this generation, we will really only know which approach worked better when we look at the failure rate at the end of the gen. I think the extra space will be helpful in regulating heat, but we'll only truly know years in.
