Have the urge to pick up a Playstation 4 and disassemble it like some sort of grotesque silicon-loving Dr Frankenstein? Well have no fear, for a Sony engineer has assuaged your destructive desires with a teardown that gives you a peek inside its upcoming console.
We’ve waited months for a glimpse at the next-gen consoles tightly packed innards, but finally these pictures show exactly how and what Sony has crammed into this sleek powerhouse…
Yasuhiro Ootori - Purveyor Of All Things Playstation 4
If the sight of silicon chips bring you up in hot flushes then calm yourself, as Yasuhiro Ootori, the director of the mechanical engineering team responsible for the console, presents the first images of a deconstructed PS4.
Check out the video here on Wired for a sneaky look at all of the components that make up the system, including the much-vaunted 8GB of high-speed GDDR5 RAM that should give this fledgling console a significant boost over its predecessor.
From the pictures below you can see they’ve managed to fit a fair bit into a pretty compact device, the only question remaining is how well it handles the heat that it could be pumping out, particularly in comparison with the internal power supply that Microsoft saw fit to include externally for the Xbox One. Neither company wants to see a return of the dreaded yellow or red light of death, so it’s pretty paramount that this device doesn’t turn into a miniature oven.
Most impressive about the design of the product is how nearly every inch of the device has been used in one way or another, slotted together like a $400 game of Tetris.
Have a look at a few more pictures of it below and be sure to let us know what you think of the internal design of the PS4!
