PS5 size comparisons suggest it’s larger than Xbox Series X and PS4

3.3
Unofficial PlayStation 5 size comparisons have shown how Sony’s newly-unveiled hardware compares to other consoles.

According to size comparisons created based on the PS5’s Blu-ray drive, PS5 will be significantly taller than both Xbox Series X and PS4 Pro.

In a reveal stream watched by more than three million people on Thursday, PlayStation boss Jim Ryan called the PS5 hardware “our most striking console design yet.”

The hardware features a two-toned design of black and white, similar to the DualSense controller which was unveiled earlier this year.



PlayStation announced on Thursday that a Digital Edition PlayStation 5 will also be available at launch, which sacrifices the Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive, likely for a lower price point. According to Sony, the experience on both versions of PS5 will otherwise be the same.

PlayStation announced a roster of first-party PS5 games in Thursday’s event including Gran Turismo 7, Marvel Spider-Man Miles Morales, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart a Demon’s Souls remake and Horizon Zero Dawn 2.

Prominent third-party games also debuted on PS5, including Resident Evil 8, Hitman 3 and new IPs from Capcom and Square Enix. In all, more than 25 games were shown for PlayStation 5 during the event.

I read an article that is was double the thickness of a PS4 pro, it doesn't appear to be from pictures.

It better be miles ahead of PS4 to warrant that size difference. If this is to be believed anyway

This console will definitely need to be sideways under my entertainment center, that console is really tall.

Probably, and they'll be harder to clean if they recessed inside that case from the looks of it. Air flow might be an issue. We'll just have to see how it's handled. I usually never get launch edition of any console, because of issues like that.
