The massive size and unusual shapes of both upcoming next-gen consoles are owed to the need for unique cooling solutions as the increase in power creates a lot of heat output. On Gary Whitta?s Animal Talking, a late night-styled talk show that takes place entirely in Nintendo?s Animal Crossing, the host interviewed Xbox boss Phil Spencer and broached the topic of the PS5 design. ?I like the design of what they did,? Spencer said. ??I have a lot of respect for what the teams do at PlayStation.?
The Xbox head went into additional details about the staggering cooling requirements that presented all-new design challenges for the next-gen consoles, both Sony?s PS5 and Microsoft?s Xbox Series X. ?It?s hard because I know the physics that we?re both dealing with when it comes to these consoles,? Spencer said of the new hardware. ?And cooling these consoles?the power, the energy use ? that presents real challenges this generation. We?re talking about consoles, with the CPU and GPU, that are real powerful computers, effectively.?
