In your tests, Xbox One remained silent for 95% of the time and the vents never get real loud.

The vents enable the One to remain silent even when enjoying Blu-ray, Netflix or games. Except from the front, every side of the console has big vents that let the hot air out. The choice of material has not changed much from 360 as it used the same type of plastic. The plastic feels a bit cheap but the One still feels solid. The material is plastic and the black coating makes the One easy to hide between Blu-ray players, receivers and other media boxes. The design may be conservative, but it looks a bit more "2014".

The 360 had soft curves but the One is all square and straight lines.

No design winnerXbox One is bigger in every way.
