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


Sorry to burst your bubble but things overheat more nowadays than they did not that long ago and that is because they are trying to make everything smaller. That is why I think it is a bad move for PS4 but tbh who the hell cares its only a power brick...

Gossip Thank god, hate pb's


Yeah ive had to replace mine 3 times


I've only had to replace mine for the Xbox 360 once but it was a bad case and needed to be replaced. I think one of my dogs chewed it and whenever I turned on the console I would smell burning rubber and occasionally sparks would fly from the power brick .-. replaced that real quick.

This Will More Than Likely Overheat A Lot More Than The Xbox One, But I'm Sure The Xbox One. I'm Also Sure They Made It So You Don't Get A Ring.(Don't Know What Color It Will Be This Time, If There Is One.)
