Next-Generation Consoles Sized-Up [Image depicting console size comparison]

Many of Electronic Theatre’s regular readers have been enquiring about the size of the next-generation consoles. Many images have been revealed so far, but this means little when delivered without any comparison. Electronic Theatre has listened to these demands, and delivered the goods with a direct comparison between Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.

PS4 looks tiny... not a bad thing but just so small in comparison. The One on the other hand doesn't look quite so massive compared to PS3 and 360 but it lacked the depth shot for full comparison (which is what looked like biggest change).

At least I know I should still have room for both new consoles as they balance each other out ;) Plus they don't contrast so much this time which is also a plus.

Blackdeath_6633994d ago (Edited 3994d ago )

yes but the power brick for the XBone is absolutely massive http://www.neogaf.com/forum... its bigger than the xbox one controller

JokesOnYou3994d ago

I like how both look, ps4 slick edges, X1 classy home theater look.

LightofDarkness3994d ago

If you built your home theater in 1998, I suppose.

Rhaigun3994d ago

Those are all prototypes, and the real power brick is inside the Xbone. That's why its so big.

Blackdeath_6633994d ago (Edited 3994d ago )

@Rhaigun
no its not inside the XBone the photos released by wired is evidence that it is not inside the console http://www.wired.com/images... http://digiex.net/attachmen... tell me where do you see the powersupply fit in there? how could you possibly say it's in the console itself looking at those pictures?

Foliage3994d ago (Edited 3994d ago )

The Xbox One hardware is over-heating; so they had to try to compensate with a large fan.

Unfortunately, the hardware is still suffering. Word is that the GPU will be further downgraded. Yikes!

dude...where are the usbs on the Xbox One?? O__o

CoLD FiRE3994d ago

Two in the back and one on the left side when you're facing the console.

titletownrelo3994d ago

REALLY hope there wont be heating issues on the PS4. The PS4 only has vents on the back, while the Xbox One has vents on the top and side.

Uh-oh spaghettios

NewZealander3994d ago

im actually impressed by how small the ps4 is, but in saying that both consoles look slick, great modern designs, i probably like the X1 look better but im giving ps4 the edge just because they made it so compact!

and with both consoles coming out at such good prices i cant wait to get both!

NeoTribe3993d ago

Im not understanding how the x1 looks great at all. It liderally looks like it could have came out in the 90s. They went with the most mediocre, rehashed, boring design they could. Not to mention its huge. Tech is suppost to get smaller not bigger.

People have been raving about the size of The One but it's not actually that big. The PS4 however, looks about the same size as a PS3 slim.

mushroomwig3994d ago

Well people made fun of the PS3 being so big and the Xbox is even bigger than that. O_O

I just want to know why it has to be so big to begin with.

NeloAnjelo3994d ago

I know right... Its huge and as mentioned the huge power brick.

Any bet they may still had hadware issues?

SecondSon3994d ago

To make sure it doesn't overheat this time and to make it quiet by using slow but big fans.

I trust that Sony won't have any issues because they know how to built durable hardware but its just fascinating how they packed everything into that little thing :D

So what will PS4 Slim be like? :/

tuglu_pati3994d ago

MS need to come out with a slime version fast

sdozzo3994d ago

As Long As There Are No Heating Issues.

madduey3994d ago

These pics aren't to scale lol I can guarentee the new Xbox is way bigger than that!! Ffs look at the size of kinect!! Lmfaoooooo

rainslacker3994d ago (Edited 3994d ago )

I don't think they're to scale either...Or at least the PS4 isn't. Since the disc slot for the PS4 is on the left side of the console(while laying down), the width is obviously too small to fit into that space compared to the other ones.

Also the released widths(laying flat), widths of the PS4 and X1(estimated) are only about 1/2" different.

madduey3994d ago

They'll be a proper comparison made up over the next few days . Both the ps4 and the xbone are bigger than this pics making out. But the Xbox is one useless fat cunt of a brick!!..

madduey3994d ago

@ESG: PlayStation/Xbox size comparisons. Thoughts? http://t.co/SB1L7ww4Vt
This seems legit.. As I said xbone is a mahoosive beast!!

rainslacker3994d ago (Edited 3994d ago )

That looks more appropriate to me mad. And yeah, it is quite large. I measured my stereo reciever and it's only slightly 1" wider and 2" deeper and about twice the height, so it seems they're making this to fit in with the rest of your home theater components. Not really a bad thing, but nowadays those electronics are almost never consistent unless you buy into a particular brand line.

New and improved ASUS ROG Ally X battery life is just what it needs to compete with the Steam Deck

Yet another leak for the ASUS ROG Ally X points towards as much as 8 hours of battery, but how does that compare to the competition?

Vits2d ago

Honestly, I really like this updated version. But it doesn't solve the biggest flaw that the original had for me: the Z1 Extreme APU. Yes, it's an extremely powerful part, but it is not part of AMD's Adrenalin driver update program, so it's dependent on Asus for driver updates. And unfortunately, Asus doesn't have a stellar record of support for their devices.

Goodguy012d ago

Up to 8 hours basically just means the least demanding games. AAA gaming at highest wattage would probably be about 2-3 hours which is good compared to just about 1 hour with the current ally. The OLED Deck can do about 2-3hrs.

Killa7810h ago

Too bad Asus are all awful company.

PRIMORDUS6h ago

They used to be the best when it comes to motherboards, now I will never buy anything from them again.

Firebird3608h ago

8 hrs yea right. Running tetris?

Skuletor6h ago

Only after setting the screen brightness to the lowest level, of course.

Asuka7h ago

Nope. The only improvements I want to hear is better customer support. Otherwise, I can't be bothered.

N64: Recompiled — Creating Native PC Ports Is A Godsend For Game Preservation

"In a time when companies don't care about preserving games, I have high respect for the creators of projects like N64: Recompiled." - Hanzala from eXputer.

gold_drake1d 9h ago

it is, i might be finally able to play Snowboard kids 1 full screen ha.

purple10112h ago

il beat you to the ski-lift,

framerate on snowboard kids was shocking, do you remember./?

talking of shocking framerate and kart racers style games,
Sony had a gem on ps3, with 'Modnation Racers' but again, framerate was so terrible, still fun though, indeed, when is drifting sideways not fun, the answer is never. we have not seen enough of that game, technically some people made race tracks/games in dreams and little big planet etc, but its just not the same,!!! grrrrr

morning rant over.

here, relive some ,memories. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

itBourne9h ago

The load time on ModNation where also excruciatingly long... But man oh man I wish that game took off more, so much fun! Could turn off garbage rubber banding, I had karts with 100's of stickers to design some crazy cool stuff, custom tracks. Fantastic undeappreciated game

gold_drake5h ago

SK1 had a fairly good framerate. sk2 maybe not so much ha

Redgrave6h ago

Some food for thought:

Would you donate your physical copy of a really rare/expensive cartridge (Conkers's BFD, Bomberman 64 Second Attack, Ogre Battle 64, the two Castlevania titles, etc) to those managing this project for the greater good of getting them preserved online for all to experience at some point?

UltimateOwnage5h ago

As long as it meant they never took money from Patreon and invited a DMCA takedown / lawsuit by Nintendo to take it all away. After seeing the whole debacle with Yuzu I now question how long any of these teams can maintain game preservation efforts through emulator development, or otherwise.

franwex2h ago

I mean. They may borrow them…

Inverno5h ago

The snippet of ray tracing at the end of the og trailer was low-key amazing. I found out thanks to Nerrel who also made a texture pack for MM, and i can't wait to see how much more great this game will be in the near future. With model swaps, ray tracing, retextures, and a more quicker process than decompilation, it's gonna bring new life to N64 games.

FoxyRush is a cheap - but tasty - little platformer

Cheap platformers are pretty much two-a-penny as we lap up the treats. FoxyRush on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC looks to be no different.
