For the second time in the last few weeks, rumors have surfaced that the PlayStation 4 is prone to overheating. Â This time, GameTrailers is at the source of the rumors. Â A personality on the popular video games website claims to be hearing “from different sources that the PlayStation 4 is prone to overheating.”
Marcus Beer, who made the claims about the console, didn’t offer any concrete evidence that this was the case.  Last month, attendees of a gaming convention claimed to have allegedly caught the console overheating while on display.
The rumors are particularly troubling because of the potential problem that this represents for Sony. Â Anyone who purchased an Xbox 360 at launch can likely attest to the frustration that overheating issues can bring up. Â Microsoft’s poorly ventilated first-run of the console was prone to overheating issues, and so many defective units spurred a massive recall. Â It not only cost Microsoft billions to fix the problem, but left consumers high and dry.
We won’t need to wait much longer to get confirmation about the rumors. Â The PlayStation 4 is set to arrive in less than two weeks on November 15th.
