[QUOTE="grossaffe, post: 5549541, member: 328726"] The problems get bigger because they are poorly engineered with a focus on Moar Powar! instead of reliability. If the console you designed is overheating it's not because "gee, things are so complex these days and there's nothing we can do about it!", its because it was designed with insufficient air-flow, cheap solder that melts at relatively low temperatures, and/or a processor that's running too hot. A simple engineering solution to the PS3 and 360's overheating problems would have been to clock them lower so they produced less heat. I've long held that those consoles were too powerful for their time, and it resulted not only in high cost of the console, but as history has shown, a high failure rate due to over-heating. If I build a PC and overclock the shit out of the CPU and GPU and it starts overheating, my response shouldn't be "oh well, these things happen on modern PCs." The response should be "Gee, looks like my cooling was insufficient or perhaps I pushed the hardware too hard." These things don't magically overheat; they overheat because they were poorly engineered. [/QUOTE]
