I didn't realize that this is a huge console. Why so big?
- notyourwork 6y agoReally off putting. It looks to be due to cooling and unnecessary contours. I’m not sure this fits in my entertainment stand and I have a rather large family room entertainment unit.
- brisance 6y agoI owned 3 Xbox 360s which all failed due to cooling issues aka Red Ring of Death. More power to Sony if it results in a more reliable system.
- kingnothing 6y agoI believe they're supposed to be able to stand horizontally as well for what it's worth.
- notyourwork 6y agoNot interesting in a console standing on the floor in my family room.
- salex89 6y agoLet's put it this way. I would rather my MacBook Pro is double its height than having this. In my PC I intentionally put a chunky, oversized cooler just for the fan to be silent as long as possible and keep the performance as long as possible. Consoles should be performance machines, in my opinion, form should follow function, and beautiful does not mean tiny.
- soulofmischief 6y agoIt seems cooling and power needs for more recent hardware have called for larger designs to compensate for larger heatsinks, fans, ventilation systems, etc. The actual SoC is quite thin.

- thejobsdev 6y agoThe PS4 fans were quite loud as the games got more demanding. I think they are cognizant of this going into this generation of consoles. Possibly over compensating but personally prefer a larger console for a more quiet experience.
- whywhywhywhy 6y agoWatch the teardown, the heatsink and fan are absolutely huge. Biggest complaint with the PS4 Pro was noise with certain games. Think this is to address that.
