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.

Im_eZ_Bake Will you have to charge it?

A power brick is the big thing between your console and the wall socket. It usually regulates the power flow to the console. It is not a rechargeable battery.

Previous ones have been known to give off alot of heat, so honestly unless it's been drastically redesigned I think it's a bad idea to have it so close to the motherboard.

Thats good. There is probably something inside the console or it just doesnt require it?

That's what I was wondering to. I'm almost certain it's not going to run on changeable batteries so charging it seems like the only other way.
