That's because that ad lied. It was showing 40% reduction in X, Y and Z axis, the problem is that it makes it way smaller than just 40% reduction that way.
But the design is hideous. The majority would want something sleek, industrial, and unique. What’s presented for the devkit is pure function and no form, like looking at a website from the 90’s. The original Xbox One already did what you were asking and looked way better than this. All they need to do is add some RGB to a slick looking design and it’s fun. But not everyone wants an ugly ass “thing” in their living room.
i'd take 3 power bricks for 14TF+Wonder if this design leads to an external power brick. Doesn't bother me but I know some of you lot would be up in arms.
Then again, after watching the PS4 dismantling video with Yasuhiro Ootoki, he says it is "inconvenient for customers" to have an external power supply.
And dayum. Look at how much space the Blu-ray drive takes up. You could save a lot by not including one.
PlayStation 4: Unboxing the New Game Console
We got the PlayStation 4! Sony’s new console comes out on November 15 in the US, but we went to Sony’s Tokyo HQ and asked engineering director Yasuhiro Ootori to give WIRED an exclusive look inside the new system—literally. Like, he takes it apart piece by piece and explains what all the parts...video.wired.com
I can tell you haven’t used it as I’ve been playing Monster Hunter, Metro Exodus and DMC5 in just the last 3 months and those are all AAA games, same goes for Forza Horizon 4 and now Gears in just a few weeks. Far from just a few sprinkles here and there. There is an actual investment to get AAA from 3rd parties as well, Shadow if the Tomb Raider also comes to mind, and they are all pretty recent games as well. Even Warhammer Vermintide 2 was there at release! Not like only Sony makes GOTY contender like you seem to think. Nothing shit about what they are bringing out right now and in the future, especially if you look at their acquisitions. Anyone can say that their output has been a bit lacklustre in the last few years, however looking at what’s coming up and how gamepass has grown quality wise you are completely wrong as the service is quite alive and unmatched right now and with people on PC now it will only grow stronger.Whoa tiger loltake it easy
BTW those first party titles like recore, sea of Thieves. Crack down 3, State of Decay are trash wrap compared to what the competitor is offering and aren't worth it at all. With a sprinkle of Gears, Forza and Halo it's just not enough. I'll keep paying my 60 and enjoy those heavy duty goty contenders you only find mainly on PS while Microsoft is focused on bringing mid tier mediocre shit to game pass because they've canaballized their sales offering subscriptions for 1 dollar every two months or so. Gamepass isn't all positive and I had it and most of those games weren't of interest and I dropped it. It's not about a subscription or how many exclusive games you have on it, it's about the quality of exclusives games on it and others.
Good point.
I don't think a 300W power brick is practical.Wonder if this design leads to an external power brick. Doesn't bother me but I know some of you lot would be up in arms.

To be fair, none of the Microsoft Acquisitions have presented their next-gen offerings yet other than 343i. One would assume that the Xbox reveal will change this. We are possibly 10 months away from a shit storm of games being revealed. Same goes for Sony. I have a feeling that Microsoft will be swinging hard.
I don't know, the Xbox One X looks pretty great, has quite a bit of horse power and is smaller than the Xbox One S, while having almost 6x the GPU performance. Overheating does not seem like an issue either.
I think most early adopters would trade sleekness for power
Personally, it would be pretty neat if they added LED lighting under and behind the consoles. Giving them an Aura like glow.What if they add some blue flashing lights on the landing strip?
i am sorry but youtube turns down quality for some videos
It's codded to the metal... remember DX12 in Xbox X?... It's something like that but the other way around, Sony has managed to somehow put hardware in the software. It's complicated.
Still looks like it belongs in the room of an 8 year old and got nothing to do with a timeless design like the original PS4. Hopefully only the devkit looks like that. Otherwise it will go somewhere out of sight..
