The day after tomorrow is PS4 first anniversary (in Europe) and Xbox One celebrated its first year last Saturday. With both new-gen consoles one year on the market (a little longer in some places, a little less in others), we were wondering when some crazy minds would test the new hardware's toughness the same way we witnessed in previous generations. That is, brutally dropping the expensive devices from specific heights.

First outlet to perform this kind of interesting and totally unnecessary test has been Wired, who recorded the whole process and results on this Youtube video.

Its prominent thickness could give some advantage to Microsoft's hardware over Sony's system, but check the results for yourself and tell us how your experience with the machines has been so far, and if you think they're resistant and durable enough for a normal day-to-day usage.

Test consist on dropping the units from 1.5 meters, then 4.5 meters... and then the loser unit gets destroyed by a chainsaw (this video is in no way clickbait is it?). We guess some would rather get it as a precious Christmas gift...
