My original estimates were actually close at 610 in3, but it's even bigger than I expected... This is kind of ridiculous, the worst part is it's gigantic in two directions and will end up being nearly as thick as the Series X in the other direction when the REQUIRED stand is applied. Bear in mind it's required because of the strange shape otherwise it would just fall over.


PlayStation 5 (and this is without the stands)

Volume = 10.24×4.09×15.4 = 644.97664 inches3

Series X

Volume = 5.94×5.94×11.85 = 418.11066 inches3

The PS5 is 54% larger


It would seem that a split motherboard design is considerably more intelligent construction to ideally make use of space. I just find it crazy how you can have a computationally weaker system and it's this much larger, the largest console ever created.

Will this system actually present a problem for some of you putting it in your entertainment centers?

 

[ReBurn]

You mean talk about it again?

Well before it was hypothesized, now it's a reality.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Dude people are acting like it’s a dryer machine right it’s the size of a lantern

 

[LOLCats]

how big was phat ps3

 

[IShowUBasics]

the volume of the PS5 should still be on par with the series x because of the form of the PS5 and those dimensions are from the max dimensions.

 

[Tranquil]

There's nothing we can do to change it, so just make do. I plan to put it inside a cabinet with a door next to my entertainment center since it's so ugly.

You don't measure volume of curves, you measure it with rectangularity. The rectangular area it will consume.

 

[//DEVIL//]

I think Sony designed the ps5 so big so you don’t buy an Xbox .

simply, there is no room for a second console .

this thing is massive in a stupid way .

not that I am going to complain because the bigger the box, in most cases means it’s better cooling / air flow .

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Don't forget to update the dimensions and volume with the stand included.

 

[DynamiteCop!]

I will, we need to know exact dimensions and how much height/width they add.

 

[Craig of War]

It gone to be bigger than the Phat PS3 damn.

 

[Alter_Fridge]

 

[01011001]

the system just about fits into one spot on my setup... like it has about 0.5 centimeters of space left ontop if layed down. and on the left I will have to move my og Xbox all the way over to the left and that's just about enough space for it to fit horizontally.

this thing is ridiculously big, like wtf?

 

[dorkimoe]

It’s not going to fit in my stand. Pretty annoyed by this. Not sure what I’m gonna do

 

[Soodanim]

I can’t fit a PS5 in my Ikea Kallax. It’s 8cm too tall.

See you in the queue for the slim release, lads

 

[GymWolf]

Yo ps5 so fat she sat on a Horizon2 and turned into a cross-gen.

Hopefully the larger size leads to better cooling and less noise than its' predecessor.

 

[FunkMiller]

SHE A THICC BITCH AND I LOVE IT.

...seriously though, who cares? It’ll fit in most cabinets, and looks cool stood up if not.

i just want to point out that the PS5 could be most likely smaller rectangular if they didnt use that curved design which is most likely 100% a artistic decision by Sony. thats why the weaker console is bigger

 

[DynamiteCop!]

We might know if Sony did their system teardown they promised 6 months ago...

 

[RCU005]

I want to know how is it compared to the launch PS3. It seems like it's going to be as thick, but the PS5 is taller.

 

[mancs]

I know for a fact , box openers are slavering in anticipation , at nice large size, small consoles are shite , my p3 slim for instance , I preferred my original , and better made fatty. More silent and larger , is cool by me , and I like to feel like I'm buying something with size and weight , like a watch.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

My CD Player is 904 inches3. Not an issue for even my small Ikea Besta unit that has 22" x 6" x 15" shelves.

ETA: To add to this I'm actually quite glad both consoles are big and quite heavy after my router, Cable TV box and UHD player are all weigh as much as a feather and get lifted by their own cables...Nightmare to deal with!

 

[Damigos]

i dont understand why size is so important.
Just put it vertically, or even above another console

 

[MH3M3D]

Size doesnt matter, its how you use it that does

 

[bender]

You don't need a teardown. You need a system running at load. Further, it's something I want to see in the wild and not from Sony. Sub components like fans can vary depending on the factory they were manufactured in. Microsoft get the benefit of the doubt from me after One and One X. Sony's products have been fairly noisy fan wise since the PS3.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Big and curvey is how my man Jim likes em

[dolabla]

 

[mancs]

It's smaller than the box craigball©™ comes in.... Think it's a bit of troll fuss myself , nothing else to poke fun at , I know , I'm a big sexy good looking guy.

 

[Kokoloko85]

I couldnt care less about console look or size. As long as its quiet and cool
I think both consoles look good

 

[StreetsofBeige]

The PS5 is 54% larger

Sony didn't want to show the system or talk dimensions until now. And still no game site hands on testing. And every PR shot was a head on or sharp angled shot so you couldn't see or judge the broadside.

No wonder they kept their mouths shut all year.

 

[Deleted member 775630]

I couldnt care less about console look or size. As long as its quiet and cool

Or all three?

 

[BluRayHiDef]

It's larger because it has a robust cooling system.

 

[BlueXImpulse]

Can Xbox Series X actually fit in any body's entertainment unit? Probably not. I don't care how wide or deep the PS5 is, it can fit in my unit. the XSX would have to sit on top of it. That's not acceptable.

 

[mancs]

It's bigger than the original p3... #gulps lol

 

[dotnotbot]

Can we talk in something more civilized than inches?

Using their measurements without protrusions, it’s still larger. And that doesn’t count the stand

Series X can be positioned flat or standing up.

 

[Birdo]

Imagine all the launch day Youtube thumbnails of people holding a PS5 with their mouths wide open at the size of it.

It's 5.94" on its side, the PS5 is 4.09" on its side, with the stand probably nearer to 5"...

It's not like they're worlds apart in this regard.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

About the size of sircaw .

 

[Hendrick's]

It really is the elephant in the room.

 

[BlueXImpulse]

What?

Can. it. fit. inside. your. entertainment. unit.

Or shelf? What word is easier to understand.

 

[rapid32.5]

It better be quiet and cool. PS3 was massive but it ran hot and loud when it was about to die . MS has really stepped up their hardware design and quality, pretty close to Apple.

 

[zeorhymer]

We all know that the bigger, the better!
