Yes, but will it run hotter? I know it has a overheat shutoff, which is good...any electronic that generates high amounts of heat should, but with the power supply internal, and what looks to be very little airspace, will the PS4 have adequate cooling for long gaming sessions? And then there are the idiots who think they can put these things in tight cubbies with inadequate airflow..or cover them with blankets/pizza boxes etc. Not saying the PS4 will have rampant widespread overheating issues, just wondering if it has an adequate cooling system for it's design.XB1 is supposed to run nearly silent to fit the "living room" theme, which is why the heatsink is huge and the fan is large (larger fan = less high pitched noise). It's almost a guarantee PS4 will run louder.

The huge fan and huge open air design of the X1 seems to me to be a response to the RROD fiasco and them trying to make sure that no matter what it had overly adequate cooling/ventilation.
How the hell is the ps4 cooled? It has no external power brick and that big ol GPU. That's some serious engineering if it has no cooling issues.
I remember seeing vids of people wrapping their 360's in blankets and then when it RROD'd acting shocked like it shouldn't have ever happened...I'd guess the PS4 cooling is adequate with proper ventilation, but I agree they should have went for a larger case and heatsink/fan for the first hardware revision. That would also give them room to safely increase the clockrate on the CPU/GPU. It already looks about as small as a PS3 slim.
I can imagine quite a lot of hot air blasting out of the back of the PS4, it looks like one giant ventilation exhaust. Anyone putting blankets on their PS4 or inside a tiny entertainment cab will probably end up with an overheating shutdown message.

RROD wasn't necessarily overheating as much as it was the solder becoming brittle then cracking under normal use, then the chips detaching from the motherboard. Even an overheating shutdown detector like in the PS4 and XB1 wouldn't prevent that.I remember seeing vids of people wrapping their 360's in blankets and then when it RROD'd acting shocked like it shouldn't have ever happened...
MS has learned.Point is, Xbox One has a biiiiiiiiig cooling fan.
Yeah I know, just people were purposely overheating them to cause the RROD issue from unsoldering, and then being shocked when it overheated and broke lol although yes RROD was a design flaw.RROD wasn't necessarily overheating as much as it was the solder becoming brittle then cracking under normal use, then the chips detaching from the motherboard.

Awesome "Inside PS4" video from Wired:

I've worked on Apple products and boy does it looks like PS4 was designed by Apple after watching that video.

You sir, must have never used a Dell. Though admitidally I've never used an apple laptop.Bummer. Apple laptops are among the worst for overheating...
I've got a gateway...it's on egg cartons so that it doesn't shut down from overheating lolYou sir, must have never used a Dell. Though admitidally I've never used an apple laptop.
Bummer. Apple laptops are among the worst for overheating...
Dont understand why MS wouldnt allow for replaceable harddrive.
Looks like it would be a lot easier to do it on the xb1 then the ps4 haha.
The xb1 looks like a htpc with off the shelf parts.
I just checked on this because it didn't sound right after being a Consumer Reports subscriber for many years and reading the opposite, and sure enough Apple is the #1 most reliable laptop brand by far according to Which? Magazine, Consumer Reports, PC Mag, PC Advisor, and everywhere else I just looked.
Apples don't overheat. They simply enhance their value by becoming a delicious pie, letting you know it's time to purchase a newer model.
