Well, now that the devices are in the hands of end users: how alive are these overheating rumours?

I have been playing mine for a couple of hours everyday, and even left it on a few times AFK.  Fans are damn near silent and I have had no issues.  The air coming out of the top does not feel any hotter than the air that comes out of the back of my PS4 Pro.

I would like to note that hot air coming out of a console is a good thing. That means the system is removed heat adequately if needed.
If the XSX had a worse cooling system the air removed wouldn't be as hot as the heat is being trapped inside the console.

The PS4 Pro cooling system isn't crap because hot air is coming out, it's crap because it's loud as a mfer and also indicates that the core temperature is too hot and heat is not being removed efficiently from the SoC, and just overall annoying. 

I hope I did not come off in a way that either console had problems.  I am saying both consoles are efficient (minus the loud fans on PS4 Pro) and just brought it up as a comparison.  Of course heat leaving the console is a good thing, as cool air would meant system failure is not far behind.

If anything I would say XSX is better, as it does this without the fans cranking up to ridiculous speeds.
