No playstation ever melted in my hand and for all the cries of jet engine on PS4 and Pro it never bothered me. So I trust that whatever form factor Sony decides it won't break down or smoke down on me so if specs are enough I am ok. |
Then you have no idea about computers, the pro is way bigger in size than the slim, for a reason, but these new consoles will be way more powerful, not just slightly, unless the ps5 would have cooling similar to the X, which it wont as that's expensive, then it will be big. That's physics.
The noise might not bother you but I had the original ps4, same as 2 other friends, and we all complained, the fan could be heard OVER THE HEADPHONES which was unacceptable.
I also had friends who bought the first pro and sold it to get the slim because it was way quieter.
I Sold my original pro to get the third version 7200 which now its quiet enough to not bother me.
In total I had 6 PS4s, and I kept selling and buying just for the noise alone. The ps4 got acceptable with the second revision, I bought it it was the Destiny bundle.
I had the original pro, the loud fan didn't bother me as much as the fan switching speeds constantly depending on what was on the screen, and strangely louder when going into the options in games.
When I got my X I was super impressed at how quiet and cool it was, for me that alone is reason to choose one console over the other, and will be with the upcoming consoles, I will only buy one at launch and that will be the biggest factor in the decision.
Other factor is controller, I love the ps4 controller but the joysticks were terrible, they get slippery, but that was an easier fix, I swapped the joysticks with Xbox joysticks that I bought. At first I was using grips but those give several issues such as rotating instead of being still.
Other issue is battery life, you get 25 hours on xbox One with quick swappable batteries, I get 50 hours out of 1 charge of the 2 batteries, on ps4 I get 6 hours battery, on the wii U pro I get 40 hours, this is a point in which Sony has to improve too.
Stop being fanboys and demand quality for your products.
I will choose the best product for my hard earned money and Xbox X engineering is miles ahead of the ps4 pro. I still keep ps4 because of the amazing exclusives and VR.
