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.

Madgun8 Think of it this way sense PS4 has a internal power supply that may cause the PS4 to over heat easier. unlike the external Xbox One power supply.

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.

Like it said at the end, the size is probably for better cooling. Which i am fine with as it shows just maybe Microsoft learned from the massive problems the 360 had.

At least we can feel more at easy about cooling and ventilation this time around.

Well the 360 is bigger than the slim ps3s anyways
