Why do people think the Ps5 costs more to manufacture?!

I feel like you meant to say that smaller parts are more expensive than larger parts here, not cheaper? I know that most mini-ITX or mini-ITX friendly parts on PC tend to be more expensive than Micro-ATX or ATX parts. You often pay more for mini-ITX friendly motherboards, RAM, power supplies, GPU's (either single slot GPU's or shortened GPU's), and CPU coolers than you do for Micro-ATX or ATX versions in my experience.

Though I'm not sure how much PS5's thinness could hurt them here. Maybe will need a more expensive CPU cooler and heatsink due to the thin case size combined with the very high GPU clockrate they are using. Needing a thinner power supply could also hurt them possibly. Don't think the thinness on PS5 could hurt them on any other parts besides those 2. They can use as big of a motherboard as they want since the case is huge in height and depth, RAM is integrated into the motherboard on consoles so there are no separate RAM DIMM's with heat spreaders like on PC.

Yeah I correct my OP lol thanks.

And to be clear I don't think it's Sony's fault, as most console have a similar width. I think Microsoft just found a way to make much cheaper consoles by making them so far. Then they are paying less for parts as they aren't micro.

What PS5 inner parts do you think will be “micro” compared to the XSX?
