Xbox One is massive compared to the PS4

4.6
The Xbox One is a big console, there is no hiding this fact. But when you put it next to the PS4, you begin to understand how big it actually is. In fact, it reminds us of the first Xbox, as that console was also, quite large.

In the image above, you can see the PS4 sitting on-top of the Xbox One, courtesy of PCgamers.de. Even when placed next to the Xbox 360, the One is still quite large.

But does size really matter? To most gamers, probably not. Seeing that the Xbox One is a device that is designed to stay inside your AV cabinet, being portable is not an important attribute for the console.

Also, don’t forget that the PS4 has its power-supply built in, while the Xbox One has an external power unit.

There are likely loads of reasons why the console is so large, one likely being the need to keep all the components cool. Back when the Xbox 360 launched, it was plagued by defective units and seeing the size of the Xbox One, Microsoft likely spared no expense to keep the console from over-heating.

KV-2 how is it beautiful? lol its a box


Looks better than the PlayStation. IMO


But a box can't be beautiful :/ and in my opinion it doesn't the ps4 has curves and nice dents the xbox looks like a cereal box in black o.0


I 100% disagree that a box cannot be beautiful.

ATTRELLA Ehh, I don't know if I would want the bigger or the smallest on this one...


It's not really the outside that matters too much when it comes to a gaming console. Make sure to look into the games, the specifications etc.


Finally someone that agrees.
I don't see why size is such a big deal to people.

I don't know why people think size is such a big issue.

I really like the slick design of the Xbox One no matter the size. Yeah the PS4 looks good and all but I've always like the bigger consoles.

To me size doesn't matter. I have more than enough room for this system.

KAQ So what if it's a bit big , it's going to have room to sit somewhere in your house anyway


While it will not be a problem for most people it is bound to be a little problematic for some
