The ps4 is just a computer in disguise, it's much harder on them to turn all the way off and on. Even playing in a 90 degree bedroom heat should not be a issue with ur ps4 gaming all day. They are designed for that (u can't overclock them and they have auto temp shut off worst case scenario). People don't realize that and many turn their ps4 off multiple times daily and Sony must have realized a trend in fried hard drives lol
You are incorrect sir.
Magnetic disc drives lifetime is determined by the number of read/write operations it performs.
Also, it is a much better to turn off you PS4 completely then to leave it on idle from the sheer amount of kWh it consumes.
A PS4 idle can use between 10-70 watts depending on if it was performing any downloads.
To put that in perspective, if you were to use your console 1 hour a day and leave it on idle for the 23 hours, you would spend between $.67-$4.68 dollars a month on strictly keeping your PS4 on idle.
