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 size will be whatever Sony needs to be to accomodate the Chips plus cooling. You are looking at something without scale to determine that it is weak because it is small and claim I don't know anything. Wait for the spec then you can say it is underpowered. And on cooling, besides noise (which don't bother me) PS4Pro works cool enough, never had issues.
PS4Pro is twice the size of PS4 because it uses a "double" GPU versus the slim, that was Sony way to ensure easy 100% compatibility.
Considering PS5 will be on a different architeture and node size your size comparison is irrelevant. Atari isn't a stronger console because it is bigger than PSOne. And even though Xbox One was like 40% bigger than PS4 it was also 30% weaker (plus had the PSU outside of the console) tell me about MS being way better at designing their HW and on managing heat and size.
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.
Still sold 100M and many don't care so your anedoctal evidence is irrelevant as well.
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.
Better go to some doctor if 40-45 dB can irritate you so much. I play on low volume because I have small children and even like this with Pro and PS4 original versions I hardly bother with their jet engine fan, and it is very seldom that they get noisy.
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.
Great for you, you seem to prefer noise over games.
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.
Sure Sony have to improve on battery life. Still a second PS4 control (I always buy a second control for my consoles for when I have friends come to play) makes you swap on the spot (plus I have a charge station just inches away from my playing spot) and long term cost less than the batteries you have to buy for Xbox controller. Never had problem with the stick slippery so I can't comment.
Stop being fanboys and demand quality for your products.
Name calling, mainly fanboy ones are also forbidden here. Please read the rules.
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.
It is your choice to buy whatever fits you best. Since I mostly play Sony exclusives, don't care for about all Xbox exclusives I would see no point in putting 500USD into an Xbox One X to play the best version of multiplats. And for that reason I said in a different post that if Sony starts putting most of their exclusives also on PC within like 3 years then I won't bother having PS5 and will make a good PC and pirate all SW. That is how I use my money.
