If anyone doesn't understand this guy, the expansion bay is unironically almost 25% of the volume of the original PS2 and the SCPH-70000 power supply is around 1/3 the size of the console, so if you took away those two factors you're looking at closer to a 1/3 reduction of the actual internal hardware. The late model slim with an internal power supply is pretty neat but those also have the later hardware revisions with reduced software compatibility so they aren't -good- aside from one hardware exploit.

PSOne is actually pretty similar where a ton of the size reduction comes from an external power brick. Like that entire left side bulge the power button is on is just the power supply, they had to move it outside just to get the rest of the case to not be oversized for the boards they were using by the SCPH-9000.
