BajiRav Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2013/11/ps4-gallery/ album: http://imgur.com/a/KlGOD#0 Inside Sony headquarters, at the heart of Tokyo?s Shinagawa district, Yasuhiro Ootori is about to reveal something that almost no one outside the Japanese tech giant has ever seen: the inside of a PlayStation 4. It?s the middle of October, four weeks before the new game console is due to reach stores in the U.S. and Canada, and Ootori ? director of the mechanical engineering team in charge of the PS4 ? is surrounded by a phalanx of other Sony engineers, several PR handlers, two journalists, and six guys set to capture the moment on video. Not to mention the interpreter who will instantly translate his commentary into English. The video producer slaps his hands in front of the two cameras ? an imitation of an old movie clapboard ? and the Sony man spends the next hour and half taking the console apart, piece by sacred piece. He even wears white gloves. It?s the world?s first PlayStation 4 teardown. Aergan 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted November 7, 2013 Veteran Share Posted November 7, 2013 video was cool. I wish he had mentioned that you are allowed to remove the HDD without voiding your warranty. As it does not require you to remove any of the four seals he mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcfan Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 just as I suspected, very similar, actually almost the same internal design to the ps3 slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper11 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I love these tare down articles/videos. Its amazing what is crammed into a ps4. Sometimes you wonder how these consoles work well at all, but they make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoWind Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Overall, the xbox one put more work on the UI and software feature and PS4 emphasize enormous of effort to design the hardware. Both console bringing something different. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted November 7, 2013 Veteran Share Posted November 7, 2013 Much better than PS3 teardown then (Y) Hopefully won't have to open it but at least it's zero effort if you do :p Did not expect to see such a big HS inside. Pretty impressive considering the size of the console :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job.Huh? why do you think sony didn't put equal efforts on software or ms on hardware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RageOfFury Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Cool video! Mark Cerny and the SCE team are geniuses! http://video.wired.com/watch/gadget-lab-playstation-4-mark-cerny-breaks-down-the-hardware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoWind Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Huh? why do you think sony didn't put equal efforts on software or ms on hardware? The UI is pretty much the same and minor improvement such as sharing gameplay footage. Microsoft have skype, instant multitasking such as snap an app while playing such as video chat. So far, PS4 haven't show us this type of possibility yet. So it's pretty obvious sony focus is more on hardware not on the software side as they already proven to have more horsepower in ps4 compare to xbox one. Conversely, the xbox one UI is more intuitive and have better apps right out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their OS/UI has always been lacking in comparison. It'd probably be a good idea for them to release a video of the PS4 experience and show what it looks like before launch though.
