PS4 teardown video shows what's under the hood

4.4
There are some people who get all hot and bothered at the sight of processors, heatsinks and disc drives in the raw. If you fit into this category, you might want to prepare a cold shower.

This video, courtesy of Wired, shows the first 'teardown' of the PlayStation 4, showing all its inner workings.

This isn't any amateur teardown where some knob pre-orders a PS4 and forces it open with a sledgehammer, though. This is the real deal.

The video is hosted by Sony engineering director Yasuhiro Ootori, who knows the console inside-out. There's no speculation or "I wonder if this is the RAM" rubbish here - everything Ootori-san says is 100 per cent fact.

In August, when Sony announced a PS4 release date of November 15 in the US and November 29 in Europe, the company said more than one million PS4 pre-orders had been placed worldwide.

-Joshua I don't know about any of you guys but after opening my ps3 multiple times I can see quite a similarity


I can also tell that they are pretty similar, i wasn't really expecting them to be very different on the inside though.

Well it won't be a drastic change from the PS3's interior since they are similar devices, same goes for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

It looks really nice and seems quite easy to take it apart, if you ever feel the need to do such a thing.

I think they made a good choice with the design and detail of the console.

Shen Simply stunning, the console looks visually great.


I also like the way that they are going with it visually. It looks sleek and futuristic

It just seems like Sony is doing everything right with the PS4. Its slim, sleek, powerful, and simply amazing design. I admit I used to be a Xbox fanboy, but after playing the PS3 I was instantly hooked and jumped on the Playstation bandwagon. And it looks like i'm still on it. :)
