The original PS4's overall max was 250W.
Some items like the extra USB port and some extra power supply margin could add some, but it does seem higher than various products like Polaris and the 16nm x86 APU in the Xbox One S would indicate as necessary.

That's rubbish. My favourite bit was when Mark Cerny fought Shigeru Miyamoto.
Not likely, 310w is "up to" which could indicate a number of things. Iirc the original Ps4 was "up to" 250w but only really consumed 150w (or so) playing games.
Some of the additional bitrate for UHD comes from linear density increase (33/25) and it requires a different DSP directly on the drive controller (iMLSE correction, which is awesome). If they planned to eventually support UHD it would have to be planned in advance.
And so the chaos continues...

Is just slightly bigger than the OG PS4, but that 310W consumption... AMD??
Yeah ~20% larger with ~50-100% more power consumption. It's not going to be particularly quiet. I'm really curious as to where the SOC is going to be fabbed. Did Sony pay extra to have the Polaris cores be able to be fabbed at TSMC or did they just go with GlobalFoundaries as it was already designed for that?

The max power spec is based on the power supply, which was initially 250W for the PS4 at launch.
I speculated that the Neo SOC should have been able to get into the same range as Orbis, which 50W even with extra margin seems too big to consider approximate.
There are some additional consumers in the console that might need to be accounted for.

Yeah, after looking at it again I edited my post for a more realistic ~50-100% more, which is still potentially on the high side. I had speculated previously that it would have been similar to the original launch power consumption of the PS4. So originally I was thinking somewhere in the 150-160 watt power range. But that up to 310w is a significant bump from PS4 launch unit (which some in the thread have said was "up to 250w").

It's odd, like the size and weight is 50% more but the power nearly double (slim)!?
Max consumption is often based on the power supply specs. I said previously the different connector means they have above 250W limit of the IEC connector. This 310W would be the power supply specs, not the actual gaming consumption. So 180W is still a reasonable expectation.
So. No Pokemon?? Order cancelled.
Xbox got a quick shot in.

The $299 Xbox One S has 4KBR.

...meh.
So now everyone will pretend that 4K BR is important, cause the last time they watched a BR movie on their console was 2 years ago?
At least one longtime Playstation supporter was not happy with the PS meeting...was pretty shocked at the harshness of this tweet on my timeline coming from him (reality pales on Neogaf)
Ouch. Is the conference being received that poorly in general? I haven't read that much Neogaf.

Yeah, they missed out 'half the power, half the HDD space and countless less exclusives for just $100 less!'

Ouch.
Sony have the slim at a like for like price and the Pro @ $100 more for more than double the power...they are not losing market share
My exclusive professional review of the reveal?
Meh.
Meh.
