Xbox One is massive compared to the PS4

4.6
The Xbox One is a big console, there is no hiding this fact. But when you put it next to the PS4, you begin to understand how big it actually is. In fact, it reminds us of the first Xbox, as that console was also, quite large.

In the image above, you can see the PS4 sitting on-top of the Xbox One, courtesy of PCgamers.de. Even when placed next to the Xbox 360, the One is still quite large.

But does size really matter? To most gamers, probably not. Seeing that the Xbox One is a device that is designed to stay inside your AV cabinet, being portable is not an important attribute for the console.

Also, don’t forget that the PS4 has its power-supply built in, while the Xbox One has an external power unit.

There are likely loads of reasons why the console is so large, one likely being the need to keep all the components cool. Back when the Xbox 360 launched, it was plagued by defective units and seeing the size of the Xbox One, Microsoft likely spared no expense to keep the console from over-heating.

Monster-Munch Xbox One will be better then ps4 i think anywat and its not about the size its about the specs. :)


yea and ps4 looks better and has 30% more power and its cheeper itz a win win sich


Xbox One come's with Kinect, you've got to buy the PS4 version of Kinect separately to take advantage of the dualshock 4's features.


Its pointless arguing, when a guy says it has 30% more power but doesent clarify which type of power he probably has no clue and thus his opinion is about as valid as charlie sheen downtalking drug addicts.


Yet you support someone who says the sole reason the Xbone is better is that it comes with the Kinetic and the PS4 doesn't come with camera by default? Well in itself that's a terrible argument but so flawed due to the camera costing something like 40 for the PS4. So still far cheaper than the xbone and yes it does have 30% more processing power. Don't really need to specify

So you guys remember the Xbox 360 they released that resembled the Xbox One? Why didn't they just use that as the new one, it looked cool wasn't as expensive and they probably could have put all the stuff that's in the new Xbox One in that "newer" version of the Xbox 360.

Int Xbox has bigger room yet still can't outperform the ps4 the design is horrible and looks like a VCR.


thats why the ps4 overheats quick right ? they did this for a reason. the ps4 randomly shuts down sometimes after playing for like 8 straight hours
