Xbox One is massive compared to the PS4
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.

ps3 was more "powerful" than the 360, and look how that turned out. with the xbox 360 on top most of the time.
Not trying to get into this whole argument except for the last fact posted was false and true at the same time, allow me to explain.
The PS3's developing software is different from that of a normal compact disc (blue-ray). Most games wanting to take use of the underused features could only develop for the PS3 due to most PC's (back then) and the Xbox360 as a whole can't run Blue-rays.
Xbox360 won this generation due to it's common grounds with another platform which made it easy to port from one system to another without having to redo mechanics except which keys were which buttons and such.
I like how major Xbone fanboys like to say the DRM and such was so innovative and the PS4 is just an upgraded version of the PS3 except for different innards of that which is now nearly a medium PC. The Xbox360 won the last generation without doing anything too innovative except by making the gap between PC games and Console games much closer, this made game multi-platform. The PS4 is getting criticized for following Micro$oft's example of the last generation of console, Micro$oft on the other hand tried to do the same thing as Sony did last generation (be "innovative").
The change in innovation in both the PS3 and xbox 360 compared to the previous console was phenomenal on both so how can you say 360 didn't have any innovation?

Let's get back to reality we meant it has a less chance.

CHP wow. did not know that it would be this big.
It's hard to see how big it actually is until put side by side with other consoles. I shouldn't have many problems finding somewhere to put it when i eventually buy the console but i can see some people experiencing some frustration

KV-2Scared_of_Waterhiguybye Sorry to burst your bubble xbox fanboy but the PS4 is better than the xbone in specs. The xbone will not be able to play games in 1080p. It usually plays it in 720 upscale or 900 upscale(what PS4 plays multiplayer at.) The PS4 plays single player at 1080p and also has more RAM because the OS takes up less of the RAM. Though the xbox does have features that I do love, the PS4 for sure has better specs and it is smaller. They could of made it better and bigger if they wanted too.
Forza Motorsport 5,Kinect Sports Rivals, NBA 2K14, Need for Speed Rivals and EA Sports UFC. Games the a running native 1080p on the xbox one, just wish some people will actually look up **** before posting. Any my xbox arcade is still going strong 8 years after I got it, my PS3 on the other hand got the Y.L.O.D. 4 years ago.
That's just personal experience, before I had 2 of my Xboxs fail on me but my PS3 has never. The only good game to me that you listed was Forza, and not even a big influence for me to get the xbone rather than a PS4
Didn't know I was trying to sell you a xbone and the same can be said for you,"That's just personal experience".
