Xbox Series X Credit: MicrosoftWe’re spending an awful lot of time talking about cooling and heat dissipation with next-gen consoles these days, but let’s be real: it beats talking about some of the other things that are happening in the world right now. The heat of the plastic is a genuine concern if you’re talking about a laptop or a handheld, where you’re actually in contact with the machine while you’re using it. The Xbox Series X and PS5 are basically modern gaming PCs, and modern gaming PCs produce a fair amount of heat. And I don’t think that “the plastic gets sort of hot” is a major safety concern, unless you’re producing enough heat to melt said plastic. The Xbox Series X+S come out on November 10, followed closely by the PS5 on November 12.
