Sony Confirms PlayStation 4 Does Not Have a Power Brick
4.6
Shuhei Yoshida, Sony President of Worldwide Studios, has confirmed via Twitter that the PlayStation 4 will not use a power brick. Instead, the power supply will be housed internally, not unlike the Xbox One.
Additional details regarding the PlayStation 4's power supply and how the company managed to fit it within the console's relatively small casing are still unknown, but at least we have a better idea of what Sony has in store for us later this year.
DlCE Um if i can remember power bricks are traditionally big and overheat quite quickly. Im not saying which is better, But look at it with common sense you dont put something that overheats inside of something that has parts that do not need to overheat. Sony is looking at alot of future problems with the console by doing this. and by the size W/H it looks like it will hold a 6v brick? Thats not alot of power
As new tech comes along things can be made so that dont overheat like they have done in the past. Look at PC's, the old ones, and the computing power you would get from a huge tower, now you get over 10x the capability from something a third of the size, same with mobile phones, as time goes by, tech gets better, new materials and composites are used and things can be made smaller, if it could cause such a problem, sony wouldnt do it

-Mark Has Microsoft confirmed that the Xbox One has one or doesn't?
It doesn't matter if it does or doesn't. They still have one, just in the console, which
it is better that it is inside, but it could also cause problems.
I would think overheating would be the main problem with a power brick inside the console. That and if it shorts out then you will need to have your console repaired so the power brick can be swapped out.
