PS6 Will be super slim?

[Demon_Skeith]

The PS6 is looking to be digital only, do you think the console will be released in a super slim format?

I think eventually there will be a slimmer model, but I'm sure the first model will be more bulky. If components ever get cheaper that is lol.

I thimk the PS6 may not be released in a super slim format because the PS6 may need a larger size cooling fan and heatsinks to keep the PS6 from overheating if the PS6 has a very powerful CPU and video card which generate a lot of heat. Most of the smaller size fans need to spin at a high speed to blow enough air to cool the CPU which is more noisy than a bigger size fan and heatsink which can more quietly spin slower to blow enough air to cool the CPU.

Not everyone can afford to own an air conditioner to cool their room which gets very hot in the summer because of climate change, so the PS6 may need to be bigger in size to install a large metal heatsink fan to use air from their room to cool their console without needing to use a home air conditioner to cool their air even more. Many people can't afford air conditioning or don't want to use an air conditioner for different reasons like high electricity usage and concerns with air conditioner's drying the air too much.

What Froggyboy said. Cooling could be an issue if the actual specs are near the rumored specs.

I think most mainstream consoles with powerful CPUs like the Playstation are also designed with a bigger case, so the consoles are lower maintenance electronic devices where the console don't need to be cleaned of dust with compressed air every few months to prevent overheating CPU damage from dust build up when the console collect some dust which stick to the fans' blades, heatsink's cooling fins, and cooling vents from many months to a few years of regular use like gaming for 3 hour or more per day.

Some larger fans and heatsinks may also still blow enough air and the dirty heasink's cooling fins are still clean enough to cool the CPU and video chip even if the fan and heatsink is dusty from a few years of gaming for a few hours per day in a slightly dusty room,

Many console buyers don't have the skills and tools to safely open their console, and vacuuming out dust to prevent overheating. Regularly hiring a console repair technician who knows how to properly open a console to blow out dust from a console can be hard to find in some places, and expensive if the prices for hiring a technician is expensive in some repair shops. Many console owners may prefer a console which is bigger in size, but come with a large heatsink, and fan which can still properly cool a console even if the fan, heatsink, and cooling vents become somewhat dusty from months to a few years of regular use of gaming for a few hours per day in a somewhat dusty room.

If they’re too poor to afford AC, I don’t think they should be buying $900 PlayStations
