The gamecube was like 9gflops?

By virtue of being 205 times more powerfull... yes the PS4 slim might get "hot".

TronicsFix meassured the PS4slim to get 128 fahrenheit (53 celcius), the Gamecube go around 113 Fahrenheit (45 degrees).

So yeah its hotter, its probably slightly more noisy.

I still think the design layout, of the PS4 slim is much much more impressive than the gamecubes.

Nintendo was just lucky with the components of the gamecube, and the demands of the time wherent what they are today.

It's also 12 years more advance dthan Gamecube so they could have figured a way to keep it cooler and quiet. Sony typically aims for aesthetics first in their hardware. Gamecube is my least favorite Nintendo system but it's easily one if not the best engineered console ever.

But why?

Is there anything that really stands out as forwards thinking? smart design, smart layout, smart usage of space?

In that sense I look at the PS4 slim and I think they did alot with very little space, and had to resort to smart design to get it all to fit in that small a box.

The same isnt true for the gamecube.
