as you can see, the PS3 is not that big and look at the revolution, MY god so small :shock: . was this posted before. i would buy the revolution with out any hesitations if they include a built in 7 inch screen on it.
I think Nintendo should stick to handhelds. That revolution isnt powerful. I think they only way they could sell is the cheap price and if the controller handles like a God. Other then that, I think they should stick to handhelds. Oh wait, Sony beat them at that too! :lol:

It's true. Nintendo DS sales are pretty high. I think it was two weeks back that there were some sales figures for Japan. Nintendo were selling over 100,000 DS's in that week, and that was the highest of the console sales. PSP is doing well, but it is not beating the DS. DS still owns the handheld market, and also, PS3 is smaller than I thought it was. WOW the Revolution is small!
Only because the PSP is more expensive. But, I will argue against anyone that the PSP is better then the DS. Because it is. Its just more expensive.

I will buy the revolution definitely now :) Its almost portable.When I'm in mu house ill play with the Ps3 and when I'm out (other houses) ill play with my revo :D
If Nintendo release the Revolution at under £110, say, I'll definitely buy one. Not at launch, but after the novelty of my shiny new PS3 has warn off a bit.

Dang, the PS3 is slightly bigger than the Xbox 360. I always thought the Xbox 360 was still going to be the biggest out of all of them again. I still love the original design for the PS2.
wow that's a really good comparison. thanks for posting.
the PS3 is quite large compared to previous consoles, although that's to be expected.

yeh, I say the PSP is better than the DS, but u can't say anything against the sales figures. The Revolution is very tiny and portable, but if I do get it, it'll be for the online Super Smash Bros lol
I don't have a problem with the sizes of consoles. They just sit in the corner of my desk and never go anywhere. PS3 may well be almost as large as the original Xbox, but they are a world apart in terms of looks! Besides, all that power, cooling potential, and the masses of ports has to be housed somwhere.
As for the comment about Revolution and its power, for once, this is a console where I simply do not care about specs. Its beauty lies in its size, price, and functionality. Having a controller that knows where it is in 3D space, and also what angle it's tilted at opens up masses of potential for novel games. Dock it into an adaptor and it functions like a normal Gamecube controller, allowing you to play any of your downloaded NES, SNES, and N64 games! I'll definitely be picking up one of these, no question.

to be honest the PS3 looks big to me, i didnt know it was going to be the biggest out of all the next gen consoles, i thought MS's effort would be the biggest.
ahh well wont be too bad i suppose

actually, depending on how you look at it, the PS3 is smaller.
when it comes to putting dvd players, consoles, etc under your tv, it's not the length that matters but the height.
the ps3 is longer, but the xbox 360 "fatter", i.e. it has a bigger height.
so the xbox 360 is more likely to be a bigger pain - but for most, neither will cause any problems.
Xbox 1 looks like a pregnant VCR! :lol: I'm really not liking the PS3 sitting down, I like it standing up though... sitting down, its just to convex, and not enough concave.

dude the 360 is .3 of a centimtre phatter thats nothing.
the ps3 is like a whole centimetre (1.1cm) from left to right, thats what will make it look bigger in you space under your telly. The width of it!

To me both are equally the same in size. By that I mean that if they are not sitting next to each other it is pretty hard to tell the difference. But to find the total space that each one takes up you just multiply L*W*H.
PS3 - 6144 cubic cm
360 - 6617 cubic cm
PS3 IS smaller :)

I remember looking at an Xbox 360 at Target (Way in the back of the department for some reason) and thinking, "My god that is a gigantic machine"
Now you post this and the PS3 is actually BIGGER?!
Maybe I'll wait til they redesign the box into a smaller package... Then again how are you supposed to make something like that smaller and keep all the original features?
Oh Miyamoto, during E3, said that if you want to hold the Revolution in your hand, grab three dvd boxes and there ya go!
BTW this is an awesome post.

You can't seriously be letting the size of the console influence your purchase, surely? It's not like it's twice the size of the next smallest console. Even my printer sat on the desk takes up more space than the PS3, and all that does is sit there are print...that's it, nothing more! To be honest, I'm surprised SONY have managed to get it so small.

that calculation doesnt really work, cause neither of them is a rectangular prism... if you want to get technical. thats the volume of the smallest box that each would fit in. getting technical, in my opinion, is useless in this case because the two consoles are almost exactly the same size.

Nintendo is dominating the PSP, even though its more power, but you can trust Nintendo on handhelds (sounds like the Ps2 vs Xbox last gen huh?)
that is very detailed, personally I don't care about size, or how it looks.
I could have a brown box with pink letters that say, "Gamestation" but alson as the games looked good, I wouldn't complain.
Great post! :D Probably the most accurate and fair one to date. Now for my two cents on the matter.
Indeed, the PS3 is bigger than the 360, BUT does the PS3 have an internal power supply or an external one?That alone would make a huge difference since that's the main reason for the 360 being smaller.
In any case, atleast they're both smaller than the original XBOX. ;)
Nice to see a comparison of all the consoles next to each other. I find it really amazing how the Revolution isn't much bigger than a disc. That the PS3 and 360 are much bigger doesn't bother me at all. With all that power inside it is expected to be Inevitable. Both look very nice and I think thats more important.

The only thing wrong with that image, is look at the alignment of the left-hand sides of the Xbox 360 and PS3. The red lines cut across the fronts of the units. Why then, is the Xbox 360 aligned with the BACK of the PS3?! The perceived difference in length is only half what the picture shows.

Truthfully I would believe the PS3 will be smaller then the 360. You have to look at the tech inside the machines. The 360 has 3 processors which means the motherboard is bigger then th ps3's since it only has 1 processor (Cell processor is smaller then the dual core used in the 360 too). Everything else should be relatively the same size (expecially the DVD drives). Even with all the ports on the back of the PS3 it makes sence becuase thoughs parts are small in size and shouldnt take up that much room (just like in PCs).

Even with all the ports on the back of the PS3 it makes sence becuase thoughs parts are small in size and shouldnt take up that much room (just like in PCs).
For starters, get your facts straight. The 360 has a triple core single processor, not 3 processors. Later in your post, you say it has a dual-core processor, which is also wrong. And the PS3 has an 8 core processor, so it's not tiny by any stretch. Finally, the processor does not neccessarily influence the size of the Mobo. The absolute size is determined more by the larger components like the BD drvie, the flash readers, Wi-fi,etc.
In the end, why does size matter? They're both smaller than the original XBOX, isn't that enough?
the ps3 DOES NOT have 8 cores. it has ONE core with 8 "mini" cores (SPEs), with only 7 in use.
I wonder if the PS3 has an external (Birck) power like the 360?

it will probably have an external power adapter, but hopefully not as big because Cell is said to be power efficient.

They may not be PPEs, but the SPEs are still counted as cores. Their size is irrelevant in this matter. So counting the PPE and the SPEs together, you have a total of 8 cores in the PS3.

I'm sorry that I cannot find the source...though I'm looking for it!! These pics are incorrect. Completely. I believe it was OPM but, due to the PS3's curve like shape it seems much biger than it is. It is actually roughly the height of the PS2 new design and obviously a little thicker. I will work on finding that source but take my word for it. You can even tell by comparing it to the controller in the E3 pictures.

no that's not true, because otherwise you would be suggesting that the 8 "cores" in the cell are the same as the 3 "cores" in the xbox 360 - which they're not.
the SPEs in the PS3 are completely different to the cores in the xbox 360, and the 1 main core in the Cell. therefore, you have to differentiate between them.
The Revolution can be so small because basically they're just repackaging the Gamecube hardware with a slot load drive. It makes me sad that Nintendo isn't even trying this time around :(
"I will argue against anyone that the PSP is better then the DS. Because it is."
:lol: That is the best reason for an argument that i've ever heard. . .I don't care what side you're on.
And it seems that it's still too difficult to tell the size based on putting different pictures side-by-side, so we'll still have to wait until they're both out to really be able to tell which one's the "smallest", although I think they're both gonna be pretty sizeable when it comes down to it.

Oh, come off it! I believe it's been said (but I'm not sure) that the Revolution hardware will be around 3 or 4 times as powerful as the Gamecube. That's fine, given the direction they are taking. Can't you give them some credit for the, let's face it, revolutionary controller they have developed for it? The controller knows where it is in 3D space, and at what angle it is being tilted and twisted. In this respect, both Microsoft and SONY have gone backwards in terms of controller development.
Nintendo are trying, very hard. They are trying to make a console that is different enough, and cheap enough to appeal to everybody. The ability to download and play their entire catalog of games is a stroke of genius, and one that I can guarantee will spill over to their next Game Boy Advance replacement, along with the tilt sensing technology etc.
I for one am looking forward to the Revolution. I see it as a perfect accompaniment to the PS3, with very different games and a very different interface.
Why is the PSP better than the DS lol? i dont think it is!

I can't understand why people are going on about PSP vs DS anyway...this is a PS3 forum! Still, seeing as though I'm talking about it..., here's my 2c worth.
I bought a PSP. My sister bought a DS. We both think our machines are the better of the two, but we both have a respect for each others. I bought the PSP for its large 16:9 screen, graphics, PS2-quality games, and media capabilities. My sister bought her DS for the more novel games like Wario Ware Touched, Nintendogs, Electroplankton, and of course the Nintendo classics like Mario Kart.
I'm sure you can see where I'm heading. Both are great at what they do, and if you buy the right one for YOU, the you have got the better machine. SONY designed the PSP to essentially be a portable PS2, and I think they excelled themselves. Nintendo created the DS to try something different, to give people a different way of interacting with their games (much like what they are doing with the Revolution). Again, I think Nintendo did a great job.
It's all about personal choice, and down to what you want out of your portable gaming. I want the best looking games on (IMO) the best looking system. Not everyone does.

Yep we need console designers like Nintendo to do something different, it adds another dimension to gaming also it keeps Sony on its toes and reminds them to be innovating...
Can't think of anything MS has done... sure someone will correct me :D
Hope the PS3 is not much bigger than the original PS2 otherwise no room for it to fit under TV :(

Sure, the controller is different, like the Virtual Boy was different.
Time will tell as always, but I'm disappointed that the big feature of the Revolution is playing old games. Old games are fun for a while, but they're still old.

You are quite right, it is a risk, and I'm sure that the ability to play old games is being hyped up way more than people like me than Nintendo! However, if people fail to see the significance of having a controller that knows where it is and at what angle, in 3D space...not forgetting that it can be docked to function as a "traditional" controller...

I was not, at any point, suggesting that the cores in the Cell and the Xenon were the same. I didn't even bring up the 360 in my comparason.
If you'd have read my reply to janenba352, you'd know that I was countering his statements about console component sizes. He made the statement that the Cell was smaller than the Xenon because it was only one processor. I was attempting to point out that Cell was fairly big because of the multiple cores on its die.
As I stated before, the SPEs may process data differently than the PPE, but they are still processors. As such, they are counted as cores.

Yeah the cell is supposed to be more efficient, but the processor is not what will take up all the power. The use of USB as a power source will be the biggest drain, also the use of WiFi and Blu-Ray will add to the consuming of energy (even though 360's controllers are actually WiFi with 2.4gh transmitter), Also the Use of a HDD further consumes energy.
I was hoping there would not be one, but it is the only way to meet the power needs, oh well not a big deal, I can just hide behind my media rack.

multiply the dimensions out, xbox 360 is larger in volume, no questions asked: 8.3 x 30.9 x 25.8 = 6617 cm cubed (360) 8 x 32 x 24 = 6144 cm cubed (ps3)
Who, other then the people in Japan, actully care about the size of a game console? As long as it fit in my entertainment rack I dont, and I realy dont care if the difference of the PS3 and the Xbox 360 is 500 cm cubed. They will both fit in my Entertainment rack together so what is the difference, 500 cm cubed is a minute amount anyways.
You must be the people that $ony got an extra $50 off because you traded your original in for a slim PS2. That was one of $ony's biggiest ways to make money, I could just see $ony "how can we get them to buy another ps2? I know we will just make it smaller." The dumb Kid, "ah, can I tade in this PS2 for another PS2? It still works perfectly, I just want the smaller one, this way I can stack 4 game on top of it and it will only be as high at 2 game on the old one... yeah I will pay you the extra $50, thanks for taking my $50 and giving me the same thing I walk in with only smaler."
dude the 360 is .3 of a centimtre phatter thats nothing.
the ps3 is like a whole centimetre (1.1cm) from left to right, thats what will make it look bigger in you space under your telly. The width of it!
1.1 is nothing at all NOTHING. Are you going to look at a PS3 and say to yourself, "man if I had a 360 i would have a whole extra centimeter in there" Answer is no - especially as the 360 requires 3 cubic tonnes of air for cooling...
PS3 is OFFICIALLY the biggest console everyone... No one cares. I wish people [not you specifically] would stop posting utter garbage...

The 360 was alot bigger then I thought it would be when I first saw it in the pictures. Its about the same size as the original Xbox, just thinner with the inward curve going on. Other then that its pretty bulky and heavy.
I think the PS3 will be a little bigger then the original bulk PS2.
What suggests that the power supply for the PS3 will be the same size as the 360? I was always under the impression that the PS3 was the largest of the 3. Looking at the Revolution, I may purchase one. It's so small and tiny. :D

If anyone has a 360 they need to check and see if the power plug that plugs into the back of the system is the standard size, like the power cable that you put into the back of your pc. Some of these diagrams and comparisons are based on disc tray/slot size, and some are based on making sure the power plugs on the back of the systems are scaled down to the same sizes.
The first post seemed a bit weird, because of the size compared to the original xbox. Also, it's a bit weird that the 360 has that little bumped up part that sticks out on the top, and doesnt go all the way across. This can cause some difference of opinion on what should be the measured parts of the console.
I think that if the PS3 is the same size of the old PS2, then it will be acceptable. I do believe though that if one of it's dimensions turns out to be longer than the corresponding dimension of the PS2, that another dimension will be sure to be smaller than that of the PS2. IE: it might be longer but not as thick.

Instead of comparing the Xbox 360 to the PS3, we should be comparing the Revolution to a Cd. :lol:
And to think that little thing is just as powerful as an Xbox. :shock:
Here's a picture I took of my ps2, xbox 360 debug unit and Xbox console. Yea the quality is horrible but it gives you a general impression of the sizes regardless.

The 360 is as large as the PS2 chunkline? Hmm... I think the PS3 will be the largest console in terms of size next generation.
http://douglas.min.net/sizes.jpg
How do these pics keep making the rounds? They're so blatantly wrong it's not funny, and the fact that the 360 has been out for over a month and yet they're still using the mockup pics rather than real ones kills any credibility.

Thank you. Hopefully this will help people understand the 360 isn't nearly as massive as some fanboys would lead you to believe.

The last picture is the right one. Look at the socket for the power cord, same size. PS3 is obviously smaller. and look at the pictures from E3 of them in that glass case, they look pewny. And that first post/picture of the revolution, TOO small. Look at the CD slot and the CD itself, the dist is way bigger and wouldnt fit in that slot. So if that was bigger it owuld be good.
PS: that picture with the PS3 being THAT small is just wrong.

well on another picture that i saw, the socket on the 360 was enlarged to make the PS3 seem bigger. So...i guess now we ll have to wait and see.
Its says the PS3 is thinner than the x360 but a little taller. I dont really care, since we all knew it was not going to be small.
Ok, First of all, aren't you all forgetting that this is still just a concept of what the PS3 is going to look like?
Second, just look at the figures in japan. The DS alone outsold every other console/handheld COMBINED.
I just think its funny people will base what system they buy purely on if its the most powerful one out. i can guarantee you right now that the revolution will blow away the ps3, 360, and any other system out there, in every other category other than power...HANDS DOWN.
Me personally, the rev is something that i will be getting regardless if i decide to go with the ps3 or a 360. Think supplemental, not as a replacement :P

My sentiments exactly, although I wouldn't say Revolution will blow away the PS3 and 360 in every category other than power. It all comes down the games, and the PS3 will get some amazing games that the Revolution couldn't dream of handling. Likewise, the Revolution will do things with games that the PS3 can't. For me, it's so different and innovative to be considered more of an accompaniment to the PS3/Xbox 360 rather than an alternative.
Last generation I had both a PS2 and an Xbox, and with hindsight I wished I'd got a Gamecube instead of the Xbox, so I sold it. I ended up with a PS2 and a Gamecube, and although I didn't have many Gamecube games, my gaming time between PS2 and Gamecube was evenly split, whereas before my Xbox gathered dust late in its life.
I foresee a similar situation again, with me getting a PS3 and a Revolution to balance out the different types of game I'll be able to play.

Not that I'm going against Nintendo or anything (I might consider purchasing one if it retails for a cheap price), but to what extent does the Playstation Eyetoy have? I saw that whole cup demo at E3, and that was pretty amazing, and reminded me of the Revolution.

True, but without some horrendously complex mathematics under the skin, the Eye Toy and it's software only really works on a flat plane. It's very good at interpreting up, down, left and right, but not in and out towards the screen. I agree, the cup demo was amazing, but not with respect the using the Eye Toy. It added a realistic interface, sure, but nothing more advanced than we've already seen. What we hadn't seen before though, was the stunning rendition of water being splashed and poured around in real time.

The next gen EyeToy is meant to be HD standard (so at least 1 MegaPixel I presume). I think it would be relatively easy to get the Eyetoy to take an initial photo of you, lined up within a general position template, and then work out how far away you are by the relative sizes of, say, your head, or your arm etc? Of course the Cell is meant to have fantastic computational power, so I would have thought it could handle complex maths.
Don't forget, also, that the N64 had analogue sticks before the PS1 pad did, and the Dual Shock came to pass because the stick on the N64 pad was so effective. If the Revolution pad turns out to be amazing (and what moron on Earth would wish otherwise) then I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a PS3 version in a few years' time.

With a single camera it's all very complicated. If the size of my head was used to monitor my position, if I keep my head still, how does it know I'm moving my hand towards the camera? The whole thing becomes easier with two cameras, because positions can be traingulated based on the different images that the two cameras see.
You'd almost want three cameras. One in the middle pointing directly at you, which shows your image. The other two would be either side of that, and used purely to monitor your position in 3D space and feed that back to the game. Essentially that's how the Revolution works. There are two sensors that you place either side of the screen.

Ye i have seen many pics of the ps3 beeing bigger than the xbox 360 and then others that are tiny in comparrison to the xbox 360, Im not too fussed about the size of the console but with this picture in mind it looks very small, and could well be the size shown above comparred to 360

True, Sony does copy alot of ideas, but they also do make them more popular. The Analogue stick and vibration are two examples. However, even if the controller does prove to be fantastic, I highly doubt Sony would copy it. The remote controller just seems far too unique to the Revolution, unlike the analogue stick to the N64. Copying it would just recieve hate and criticisms from everyone.

no i think that nintendo is still killing sony PSP, way more sales than the PSP.
The PSP is way too expensive. It is $50 short of what the PS2 originally Launched at in 2000. ALso it's $50 short of Microsoft xbox 360 core system.
Thats why it's not selling as much as nintendo's Gameboy advance SP and the DS.
But i expect the price of the PSP to drop when the PS3 Launches.
Thats why it's not selling as much as nintendo's Gameboy advance SP and the DS.
That and it's lacking somewhat in the library of games. Oh, and also Sony restricting it's potential with firmware upgrades.

Ok, the pic from Lord_Alda with the Xbox 360 as being huge, is just wrong :shock: . Thank you Coola for your pic, clears up my thoughts. The PS3 can't be expected to be tiny as it has a lot of stuff in there. As long as it can remain cool and ensure that it doesn't overheat and die, I'm happy. It can be bigger than the PS2, just as long as it isn't the size of my PC tower, I'm gd lol. I think the revolution's size is REALLY good if it has the same power as the 360 and is that small. Lastly, I agree with Graham, I bought a PS2 and a Gamecube instead of an Xbox. I've never been happier :D lol. Bring on the remote and lets see what it's capable of!!

well would it be that bad if it was slightly bigger? I don't think the PS3 being slightly bigger than the 360 would affect its sales, especially if its transformer isn't as big as the 360's. I guess we'll just have to see how big it is in CES
Also - without the Hard drive attached on the Xbox 360, the PS2 is actually a bit taller than the Xbox 360 itself.

I think Nintendo should stick to handhelds. That revolution isnt powerful. I think they only way they could sell is the cheap price and if the controller handles like a God. Other then that, I think they should stick to handhelds. Oh wait, Sony beat them at that too! :lol:
I think Sony will eventually beat Nintendo in portable sales, but they first need to get a lot more games. The games are pretty good now, but there needs to be more of them and they need to become better as well. But eventually Sony will reign as the king of portahle systems.

I actually thought the 360 looked small the first time I saw it. It may just seem huge because it's bigger than the old plain PS2. At least it looks better....minus the color.
The Xbox is a big one, but it is also twice as powerful as the PS2. Then again, there is a lot of space under the hood. I can't say I approve of its aesthetic design, but the Xbox is one tough box. It lasts. Original Xbox, original Gamecube, 3rd PS2.
The PSP is better than the DS in hardware and graphics, but the PSP has hardly any games worthwhile. It's media playback is okay, but far from exceptional. Why do you think the DS is selling so well? GAMES!
Still need that smashed-hotdog-airplane of a PS3 to come out already. I want to do REAL side by side comparisons!

THe ethernet connectors on the back side of the xbox 360 on the following picture is hardly what I call a ethernet port, it looks more like a phone jack..........the freaking ethernet port is almost the same size as the ventilation holes............ :roll:
http://static.flickr.com/6/76011489_91e50710e7.jpg?v=0
multiply the dimensions out, xbox 360 is larger in volume, no questions asked: 8.3 x 30.9 x 25.8 = 6617 cm cubed (360) 8 x 32 x 24 = 6144 cm cubed (ps3)
That equation does not work with figuring out the size of the consoles since they are built into an eccentric shape and not a common shape such as a rectangle, which is what that equation is suppose to be used for. The Xbox 360 is a concave design, while the PS3 has a convex design, its hard to figure out the dimension of their shape, unless your a math major which I doubt anybody in this forum is.
Those sockets in those Xbox 360 renders don't even match the ones on the final retail systems.

ok i'm a nintendo fan a big one, i also like playstation alot. I'm looking forward to both the nintendo and revolution equally but i want to let you guys know some things about the revolution so you can pass judgement better.
the revolution may seem to have horrible stats right now and may seem to be rediculously slow but you cant go by numbers alone, thats like comparing a pentium with an AMD. the revolutions processor has only just been finished so no one really nows how powerful it is. nintendo assurs that it will be on par with the PS3 and Xbox in terms of graphics. the only thing we have to go for in power is that the current developers says that its like developing for a super xbox, but thats the just the developers it may be more powerful later on.
what is supposedly oging to make the revolution run well is the fact that they are using displacement mapping rather than bumb mapping as it allow you to use far fewer pixels to create the same graphics.
on terms of the DS and PSP the DS is hands down better simply because of the games. I honestly dont know a single person who uses their PSP for games. most of them only have but 2 games and they hardly ever play them. All they sue their PSP for really is to listen to music and watch videos. while i think the PSP is very impressive and has a lot of potential, in terms of gameplay its lacks gratly. oh and the PS3 is far to fragile. i bet it would brake if you dropped it from chest hight, nintendo is much more clumsy-person friendly. but man that screen is nice, i wish my DS had that. I can't say that i wouldnt buy one if i had the money though :D
Who cares on the size of the console. I'm getting both PS3 and Revolution, but rev first cuz its cheaper. Also because this topic was about sizes nintendo says that the revolution might be smaller!!
Also think about this for the power supply convo: both the PS3 and 360 have 3.2 gig Power PC procs in them. power PCs are know for power consumption. while i'm sure the PS3 wont have as big a brick as the 360, it very well migh have one of its own.
oh and i'd favor the PS3 boomerang as my favored weapon.

12-30-2005, 13:48
yea, well based on size, I can guarantee you that the Revolution wont be as powerful as either system.

I'd also have to agree that the PSP really isn't much of a "gaming" handheld. Thats why it's earned the nickname "playstation PORTable"
...however, I think that in time, it will prove to be a worthy competitor to the DS.
DS is slaughtering it sales-wise though.
Indeed it is, and Sony needs to realise that it is losing in the handheld market, and stop restricting people of the PSP's unique capabilities such as homebrew software, or Sony's PSP is dead without a good library of games.
You guys are right. The Revolution WILL NOT be as poweful as the PS3 or even the Xbox360 but then it doesn't have to be. The Ps3 and Xbox360 are multimedia devices so they need to be powerful. The Revolution is a dedicated games console meaning that it is allowed to have a lower spec yet be able to produce the same quality if not higher graphics.

yeah the revolution will definatly not be as fast. like Otacon said, the Cell "is the key to winning the console war" I feel that this is true when you look at alot of the gamers in the united states and even in America.
But like Sooj said, the revolution is completely devoted to games. It wont even be able to play DVDs out of the box (i'm not sure if that is final).
in terms of size you guys obviously dont like or aren't interest in Apple computers. the Mac mini is tiny and is powerful enough to be a home entertainment system. I've been told that it runs games decently too (the 4 games that mac has lol)
Size does not matter. Just how you use it :D

PSP doesnt have the luxury of a complete library of games from a previous system. You cant include game availability when making a direct comparison.
I dont know ANYONE with a DS. I know several with PSP's, and all of them play games as well as watch movies etc. DS may be doing better in sales, but it wont last forever. PSP is more powerful and will be getting a steady flow of FRESH titles, not just ports, by the end of spring 06 and with functionality being added again and again with firmware updates it seems to be more likely to LAST than the DS.
Also many parents buy DS for their kids just because its cheaper and has kiddie games. Dont know any SERIOUS gamers who want anything to do with DS other than to play their old school mario games, but they would rather wait for Revolution to do that than buy a dual-screen handheld.
And as far as the 360 power plug goes, it may be custom but it's the same SIZE as regular power cables, if not bigger by the looks of the photos. The PS3 seems to have a standard power plug as well, seeing as the ethernet ports are correctly proportioned to the power plug.
How can that be the slot for the HHD? It's on the bottem of the PS3. Then again, it could be the place for the HHD. Pray people that all PS3's come with hard drives!
That's the side, not the bottom. It's only the bottom when you keep it vertically, which is the position you'd probably least like to keep it.

Yup, plus, the last I heard about the design of the console is that Sony was going to look into making it more symetrical when standing up vertical, so for all we know it might look radically different at CES.

Hmm... I'm gonna have to wait a while before I could afford either... The Rev looks good as just a dvd player, if it was 20 bucks... So it seems Nintendo got their act together for the home market appearance. Ya, in response to earlier posts, the DS is a much better selling consol than the DS. However this would make the GBA the pimp of the handheld market, but nobody seems to argue from that point. As for arguing on the PSP vs the DS, I hate to scream this in a Sony forum, but more sales leads to more games, and more games leads to more sales. Nintendo is a step ahead in this cycle, and the games are the most essential point of a system... But I don't want to start a flame war. Good imaging by these PS Underground guys.

I think Nintendo should stick to handhelds. That revolution isnt powerful. I think they only way they could sell is the cheap price and if the controller handles like a God. Other then that, I think they should stick to handhelds. Oh wait, Sony beat them at that too! :lol:
no way in hell do i ever wanna play supermario world on my playstation so more props to nintendo keep on keeping on and i love playstation as much as the next person so take that into account
Ya same here, plus you will never see Nintendo out of the picture unless they sell their exclusives because thats all they have over the competitors. Think about if the other consoles were able to have Mario games and Zelda Titles...I don't think Nintendo would have a chance. (ohh ya and metroid prime I think is another, but I have never played any of those games)

Dang, the PS3 is slightly bigger than the Xbox 360. I always thought the Xbox 360 was still going to be the biggest out of all of them again. I still love the original design for the PS2.
no, it's taller, but the x360 is fatter :lol: , lighten up on the ho-ho's there 360 :lol:

those pictures are so off it's not even funny, just look at the disk sizes, the revolution is alot bigger than what they show and the ps3 is smaller, if both where being compared to the 360.

Only because the PSP is more expensive. But, I will argue against anyone that the PSP is better then the DS. Because it is. Its just more expensive.It would be a VERY intersting battle if the PSP was the same price as the DS and if the PSP was $100 bucks cheaper there would be no competition.

According to my comparison that I just threw together, the PS3 is significantly smaller than the Xbox360.

When the Final specs are revealed for the PS3, I predict the ps3 being only slightly smaller than the PS3 in height and depth [when positioned vertically (2 - 4 centimeters)]

I would much rather Have the PSP, than the DS even if the games aren't great. With the new lower price for the PSP, and the soon to be avaible GPS attachment (hopefully for less than 100) you got yourself a super large screen color GPS, with lot of memory, and a umd drive for map programs, It will OWN the portable GPS market, just look at handheld color GPS's from Garmin or Megallan they sell for 250 on up with puny screens and memory, Helll just put this baby in your car and you are good to go.

Here is a link for console sizes (or better said empty box in PS3 case):
http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/NE/rep/050617.html
Confirmed at wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ps3#Physical_dimensions
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360#Physical_characteristics
It plays along with the first post.
Revolution is really impressivly small.
Based on previous measurements of the consoles and comparisons of the disc drives, I've created this image of PS3, the largest console of the next generation, and Revolution, the smallest console of the next generation:
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b291/nintendofan_826/ps3revocomp.png
If this does turn out to be accurate in the end, it shows just how tiny Revolution really is.
I found this at the playstation underground PS3 section and i wanted you guys no to be left out. so here it is. full credit goes to the guy who made this.

as you can see, the PS3 is not that big and look at the revolution, MY god so small :shock: . was this posted before. i would buy the revolution with out any hesitations if they include a built in 7 inch screen on it.
I nominate thee for post of the month. I don't care if i'm not a Mod or Admin, it's a damn good post.
as you can see, the PS3 is not that big
You're kiddin' me, right? The PS3 is HUGE! It's even bigger than the original Xbox!!!!
I just hope it's not as "heavy"... Good golly, the Xbox was the heaviest console I've ever had the pleasure to lift.
@A-D-L: As for the post of the month... He just posted a pic...
I thought it would be exactly, or greater in size than the original XBOX (PS3). Like a briefcase :lol:
The PS3 is 0.2cm smaller than the XBOX.
So what if it's only pics, they helped a lot.

I would still buy one but only after a price drop. I don't see why I should pay full price for the nintendo Revo. I mean they really let me down with the gamecube.

One thing I would like to point out is that the console size isnt that important. Size isnt that important either, because all of the consoles can easily fit into most home theatres.
For me, as long as the consoles dont get too much heavier than the origional Xbox il be fine. Between the ps2, gamecube, and xbox the Xbox was for sure the heaviest, but its weight never cause me any problem

Why does the small size difference between xbox and ps3 really matter? We all know that ps3 will clearly be better, regardless of size difference. I, too, will be owning a Revolution however, even though it's not as powerfull I enjoy playing mario and zelda and such. It makes me feel like the little kid who got the NES for xmas again. Good memories.
Who cares bout the size difference really? "It's not the size of the boat that counts, it's the motion of the ocean." Same applies here. On the revolution note - I too will be owning one of those as well. Mario and Zelda bring back too many memories for me that I must relive.

The pictures remind me of the fairy tale "Goldy Locks and The Three Bears" becuase the Gamecube and Revolution are too small and the Xbox's are too big and the Playstations are just right.
Slayerstar, don't double post. It looks unprofessional.
Do you remember how did the PSP looked when it was announced?
link (http://blogsimages.skynet.be/images/000/128/578_Sony_PSP_Concept.jpg)
I expect this PS3 prototype to change as much, so I'll better wait until E3 before making any measurements. :wink:
Wii will not have as much sales as x360 and ps3..
i think Wii will have same graphs than game cube
i don't know why i think of that but i know it XD
ps3 will lead the market even if its not the cheapest one
hehe
well thats just predictions
all 3 new consoles look nice

As long as my console isn't the size of a PC case all is well in my house. PS3 looks so slick though I could care less about its size.

It really doesn't matter how big the consoles are. they look good this year which really doesn't matter but at least it will they will be fashioable for your room. what reall need to be worrying about is gas prices. i cant't buy new consoles if i dont have any gas to get to the store.

04-29-2006, 22:28
^^^ If you can afford a 400 dollar console then I'm pretty sure that you'll be able to afford gas.
And that's not really correct measurements. Look at the disc slot for the PS3 and the disc drive for the 360. See something wierd? You should because the PS3's drive looks bigger than the 360's. Which means that the measurements aren't even correct.
Why don't you base your estimations on the disc size. That's the most accurate way to do it. I got flamed at for saying that at some other forum. But they were just dumb, to think that PS3 is bigger EVEN basing their estimations on the drive sizes.
And I'm pretty sure that a slot drive is smaller (width size) than a tray. Anyone else see this?
I dunno how you can talk about the size of the PS3 its been said that sony havnt even managed to fit all the tech inside the prototype case, so I wouldnt be suprised if it grows from the design we have seen.

Ahh well I have pics rivaling that Theory:
http://www.bigkid.com.au/images/size_comp.jpg
The only thing wrong with that image, is look at the alignment of the left-hand sides of the Xbox 360 and PS3. The red lines cut across the fronts of the units. Why then, is the Xbox 360 aligned with the BACK of the PS3?! The perceived difference in length is only half what the picture shows.
As for that last image! :lol:
:lol: What a joke of a comparison, the pictures are taken at different distances compared to one another, that affects size. The 360 is obviously closer to the camera than the PS3.

You're kidding me, Zen1man. What you said is the joke.
You can't obviously compare directly any pictures of the consoles. That's why the comparison was made based on the DVDROM. Can't you get out of your 360-shell and see that? This is still only an approximation.
Although I do like the Black version, overall the PS3 bears a striking resemblance to the BOSE Lifestyle system.
http://www.bose.com/images/home_entertainment/components/pc_ls28_mc_l.jpg
It is a tad smaller, but the look is the same. Overall I don't care for it. Its a little too round for my taste. It is however smaller than both the Xbox, and the 360......that is unless I am really tired and am having trouble reading the numbers.
I just really hope they don't include that brick of a power supply. That should be included in the dimensions for the 360. It basically adds couple revolutions to the size. If Sony has theres included in the design ( which it looks like they do from the type of cord they are using ) then the PS3 is significantly smaller than the 360.
The xbox would be bigger as it doesnt have its power supply inside the case like the PS3 ...that would buff up hoow big it is and the ps3 would be smaller than it...honestly the PS3 has a better design than the 360.
Was it really necessary to look for this...I don't understand why peeps bring dead threads back to life, we already know the details of each consoles.
It's funny reading some of the old predictions though! :)

Revolution ha... this is quite an old post, don't you think. Nice one though.
The size of the PS3 is great, taking into account that it has no external power brick as the 360 does.
