Additionally he says this. Scalng the sizes down to the second images actual size and applying real world disk and hdd sizes gives you the following.
As the "leak" has a central mounted optical drive, there isnt any clearance to include a hard drive in the machine, and thats before considering anything else such as cooling, fans and so on. Tamrons verdict is basically, "physically impossible to be real". And there you have it. |
He says working from a known size (the disk slot on the side) you can gauge the dimensions of it, and when compared to the dimensions of a normal ps4 you get the borrom comparison, which as you can see is WAY off the supposed "leaked" slims sizes.
Actually this is only true if the slim model actually has a disc drive. And that's the thing, i don't think it has. The opening on the side is much more likely a ventilation hole. Think about, a disc drive on the side of the device, that's not really practicall is it?
I'm not saying these leaks are real but they do touch a interesting possibility: an digital only PS4. Sony would make more money if games would all be sold through the PS Store and people owning such a system would not be able to buy used games.
As long as a regular PS4 with disc drive is available to choose aswell, there is no harm in trying. And if the didital only PS4 has a much slimmer look and would be atleast $50 cheaper, i think it would be rather succesfull.
