Famous mortimer ha escrito una entrada en su blog acerca del posible sobrecalentamiento de PS4.Básicamente dice que no hay ningún problema de sobrecalentamiento, algunos desarrolladores le dicen que la consola genera bastante calor, pero ninguno de ellos ha tenido ningún problema con la consola incluso estando encendida 9 horas día tras día.
Comenta que aunque genere calor, el interior de la consola se mantiene a una
temperatura adecuada y además es silenciosa siempre.
Se calienta bastante cuando estas jugando y parece que en posición vertical se mantiene un poco más fresca, pero nada de sobrecalentamiento.
El rumor parecía venir porque a la prensa se le estaba entregando las consolas un poco tarde, pero por lo visto era por temas de estar trabajando en la interfaz hasta el último momento y no por problemas de calor.

It had me worried so I started asking around to just about everyone I know in the industry. Like most rumors there does seem to be a tinge of truth to it; the PS4 does create a lot of heat. There wasn't a single developer who had a story about a system overheating, however.
According to one dev who is not working on a PS4 game "Trust me, I know guys who are working QA on PS4 kits - it's not overheating. Take a guess where the rumor is coming from?"
Ok, ok. But he isn't actually working with the system. I talked to several people at Sony. They all said there was zero issues that they knew of. The reason, they say, the review consoles are going out late is because the firmware is being worked on until the last-minute, not because of the console overheating. Also PSN testing is happening this week and is going "very smoothly." Braggarts.
Alright... but they work at Sony. Still not good enough. Is there anyone who will stand up and be bold enough to stand up with the fearless Marcus Beers and bring us some hot, hot truth...? "The PS4 produces more heat than you would think" AH HA! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SONY, I LOVE YOUR GAMES BUT YOU ALWAYS MESS UP SOMEHOW AND THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING FAR TOO POSITIVELY. He continued "but we haven't had a single unit overheat." OH COME ON! Another dev told me "Not sure I even need to "confirm" this, but the PS4 does not have any glaring overheating issues. It gets kinda hot, but even being 9 hours on every day doesn't phase it. It stays cool if it's idle in the UI. It's quiet at all times as well, Marcus Beer is making stuff up for clicks, as usual. It gets kinda hot when in-game, especially in the back on the side it sits on horizontally. It actually appears to remain cooler when it's standing vertically, but it doesn't overheat either way."
So, that's as hot as this story is getting. A powerful videogame console creates a lot of heat. I wouldn't go shoving it in some snug little hole in your entertainment center, it likely needs room to breathe like, well, all videogame systems. But there doesn't seem to be a lick of truth to the idea that there are hardware failures. The firmware on the other hand... we'll see. Much like Xbox OS it's being worked on till the very last-minute (and then immediately will begin work on the first update post-launch). Where there isn't smoke there isn't fire. I think that's how the saying goes...?
