The XBoxOne will be near silent. And the PS4??

HOLY SHIT. I am dying. An all time first post.
Hopefully it won't be spinning in the ps4 either, after the short check to authenticate.

NeoGAF. Lmao
I all i want is fr it to be quieter than the OG 360. That thing was fucking LOUD. PS3-quiet would be preferred.
Comments like this on a legitimate post only strengthens my resolve to buy a XBONE..
I've never had anything against, Sony, hell I even own several playstation devices, but people are overreacting and not thinking straight.
I have no idea what people see in that first reply. It doesn't make much sense. Assuming you'd buy an Xbox One, why wouldn't you switch it on?
It's a ~100W system that appears to be fitted with a decently sized 2 heatpipe cooler with a ~120mm fan. It's going to be pretty silent.

Frankly I'd be shocked if Xbone is quieter than PS4
...you are actually taking this seriously?

The 360 slim is near silent.
But the power supply fan is loud as shit.

Oh no. Will you be all right?
Why is that? They both use roughly the same power and the Xbox One is much bigger than the PS4, which means it has room for a much bigger heatsink. We still need to see the internals of the PS4 to make a more informed judgement, but all signs point to Xbox One being the quieter system.

Love when I do some heavy PC gaming and turn all the fans up.
Do you quite library peeps like silent hybrid cars, too?

I live in a noisy neighborhood, have my windows open all the time, and have a gaming PC in my bedroom. Silence would creep me the hell out at this point if I could remember what it sounds like.
Flawless
Yes I am.. I consider myself a hardcore gamer. My roots are PC games from my earliest days, but I am well satisfied with everything the XBONE has to offer (game lineup). I do not neglect the list of negative things either.. Still, I think people are overreacting.
I've got several Nintendo devices, several Sony devices and only an XBOX 360, so I don't think anybody could call me an XBOX fanboy.

True, but airflow is also a big part of that.
Ice cold.
I'm not sure what you're going on about. A lot of diehard PC gamers, including myself, place a lot of importance on silence. We buy aftermarket cooling not just for cooling ability, but for silence.

Looks pretty venty, shouldn't be too loud but what do i know. Its SMALL too, holy cow.
So you call Sony to be the biggest seller of this gen already? Nice crystal ball you have there son..

If somebody making a joke online is strengthening your resolve of a $500 purchase, you probably shouldn't critique others for not thinking straight.
The 100W is for the XBO, shouldn't we assume a bit more for PS4 thanks to more active CU cores or does ESRAM generate the same waste?
But even assuming 140W I admit that is already way less than even the PS3 SuperSlim so it should be reasonably silent. I hope I can cook up a decent dust filter, I am so paranoid about cooler clogging.
It's not that comment alone, it's all across GAF and some other places. Not saying some of the critique isn't justified, but it's just going over the top..

I don't think he said anything at all that resembles that statement. It's really baffling that you are criticizing somebody for pulling declarations out of their ass when you are the one that made up what they said.
It shouldn't matter how many people say it. Others hating the Xbox One shouldn't make you want it more.
You win.

I don't get why people think the ps4 will be louder by being smaller.
Smaller size = smaller components = less heat = less cooling needed = less noise.
The only other conclusion would be that Sony just jammed it in a tinier box with no care about cooling issues. That's not what they do.

This is rather confusing.
Yes, but if the fan is like a small mosquito, it will get that annoying high pitched noise with high RPM.
Figuratively speaking with "everyone's stupid except me" he's implying the opposite which translates in the fact that everyone would want a PS4 instead of a XBONE. Correct me if I'm wrong.
It just seems to by a hype to bash Microsoft while 95% of the people don't have their facts straight.

sounds like something fake Kaz Hirai would say on twitter....
The one thing that scares me the most about the PS4 is reliability. My PS3 fan got so loud I didn't even want to turn it on, and it's currently sitting in my closet collecting dust because it's unsellable in it's current condition. I promised myself I would never buy another launch console (after the 360/PS3 launch system issues), but Sony is making it really hard to stand by that with the PS4 sounding like such a bargain.

If the fan is smaller, but going at a similar RPM, it will be quieter.
hahaha talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face
you think this is going to cause pain to us or something? We'll just be laughing as you torture yourself with that abhorrent piece of hardware lol
Yes. But seriously this is all just speculation until we can see whats inside and how its done.
Leaving aside that you seem very invested in the Xbone if you can't even take a little joke: I don't care in the least what system you buy. If you make purchasing decision based on irrelevant criteria such as this, you're only hurting yourself.
My 360 slim is way louder than my older "fat" 360 when the disc spins up. The disc drive vibrates or something and it's really annoying. That's not typical of course but it goes to show that there's some variance in sound even among similar models.
My power supply fan for my slim is pretty quiet though, luckily.
Obviously it did something to you since you are taking the effort to reply..
Anyway, I'm not here to play that game.. I'm just hoping the anti MS hype cools down a little.
