People are silly about these power bricks.

The more processing power that gets shoved in to these consoles, the more power it takes to run them.

I can't help but wonder if the PS4 may have some overheating issues. There does not appear to be much in the way of venting on that box.

I don't know if it's a direct coorelation. PS3 didn't have a power brick and it didn't have overheating issues (the launch models fans are loud though). The 360 did have a brick and overheating issues were the biggest cause of hardware failure.

AMD’s Jaguar is quite power efficient, capable of low single digit idle power so I would expect far lower idle power consumption than even the current slim Xbox 360 (50W would be easy, 20W should be doable for truly idle). Under heavy gaming load I’d expect to see higher power consumption than the current Xbox 360, but still less than the original 2005 Xbox 360.

The latest version consumes just 60W on the menu or up to 80W while running a game, but the PS4 could take things even lower while still pulling of sophisticated functions -- such as acting as a game hub for a connected PS Vita, or running always-on facial recognition with the new sensor-laden Eye module.

The 28nm Jaguar cores in the PS4 are an evolution of AMD's Bobcat silicon, which was used in netbook processors that generally maxed out at 18W. According to slides recently released by AMD, a quad-core Jaguar chip will consume up to 25W. Even if the PS4 doubles that, with eight cores burning 50W, that'd still be a lot quieter and easier to cool than a recent PS3.

I dont care if there is a brick or not. It just gets put behind the center anyways. I was just saying I thought I heard there wasnt one
