Well, it would have been interesting if they had dropped the XBO properly. The first drop, they both land on their side, so it's a fair test. On the 2nd drop, he let's the XBO drop somewhat sideways, so it didn't land like the PS4 did. The PS4 took all the damage at one side, while the XBO was able to shift as it hit the ground (it also landed on a corner), spreading the force. I demand a redo!

Yes, PS4 landed directly on the HDD, absorbing all the contact. It's no wonder it died.

XBox One landed on the corner and then flipped to the other side and absorbed the rest of the contact on the side with the BD drive, allowing most of the contact to be absorbed by the shell and not the components up against the side, other than the BD drive.

I wouldn't be shocked if the BD drive was dead, but it's possible it could still be used for digital.

 

If they both landed indentical on their sides where their HDD drives are I am sure both would have died. Not that it matters though, as nobody drops a PS4/XBone from 15 feet.

Lol, true.  They did survive the more realistic first drop.  And I do prefer that the PS4 takes the time to check itself to make sure nothing is wrong, instead of just booting up normally and possibly causing more harm.

It is pretty sad, though, that they are all dressed up in labcoats, in a lab, trying look like they are being all scientific, yet can't run a simple experiment without fucking it up. 

Not even sure if 5 feet is realistic, maybe 3 feet. How high to people keep their consoles? O_o

 

I know my PS4 dropped from 3 feet and landed right on the HDD. Now my HDD cover has a crack in it. My girl tried to play it off saying "I have no idea how that happend." before she admitted she wasn't paying attention and bumped into it after standing it on it's side at the edge of the table.

Oh well, it still works.
