Sony Confirms PlayStation 4 Does Not Have a Power Brick

4.6
Shuhei Yoshida, Sony President of Worldwide Studios, has confirmed via Twitter that the PlayStation 4 will not use a power brick. Instead, the power supply will be housed internally, not unlike the Xbox One.

Additional details regarding the PlayStation 4's power supply and how the company managed to fit it within the console's relatively small casing are still unknown, but at least we have a better idea of what Sony has in store for us later this year.

Artro Are power bricks a good thing or a bad thing?

Their good in the sense that it keeps the device from bieng fried by your ac outlet, bad in the sense that its big and sometimes no space to put it in rare occasions


It seems that both Sony and Microsoft are against the use of them though. To be fair Power Bricks do take up a fair bit of space and make the console a little less efficient.

I struggle to see how they can fit so much into such a small console. Well this is another plus for the PS4.

Why do power bricks bug you guys so much? It's outta sight behind the TV anyways. Big deal.

You keep believing that if it makes you feel that you haven't wasted your money getting the Xbox :)

InsanelyAwesome you couldn't be more right, his profile picture is even an xbox one haha


At least Xbox hasnt been hacked for 3 monthes, and Xbox dosnt have update problems unlike FrozenStation


We're talking about the PS4 and Xbox One, the 360 is better than the PS3 hands down. But this is once again; another advantage the PS4 has over the Xbox One.


You do realize it says the One has it too... So how is it an advantage if they both don't have a power box? So either you didn't read the article or you don't understand what "not unlike" means.

For the set up I have, it takes up a lot of space, glad I won't have to have one anymore.
