Can we talk about how you've been here 4 years longer than me and your existence on this site is inconsequential, adds nothing and no one even cares if you make shitty threads or not because no one knows who you are?

Can we talk about the PlayStation 5's size....

PS5 has so many knocks against it yet people here are trying to make me feel crazy for backing Xbox at launch.

The PS5 is the exact width (or height if stood up) of my cubby space for it. I'm worried that even if I could get it to fit, the airflow will be an issue on that side. So I will likely have to come up with someplace else to put it. It's another reason why I hate the design aesthetic they went with. Those white plastic side panels that overhang the edge with that "collar" design is taking up valuable space.
No, we already had this thread:

But whatever, this thread is already bigger.
No, we already had this thread:
Cringe - PS5 dimensions and weight, prepare your cabinets.

Likely due to increased focus on it staying cool and quiet, no matter the time of year.

You’ve been in thousands of houses and memorized what kind of entertainment center they have ?
I call bullshit on that !

I remember when Sony could engineer small compact products case in point PS4 vs Xbox One.
They got lazy with PS5 or that overclock has nictitated bigger cooling and the engineers had no choice. The higher power draw vs series x is also puzzling.

I think it's pretty clear that Microsoft has surpassed them in hardware engineering.
PlayStation 5 is 54% larger, has a 100 watt higher power draw and is computationally inferior. They should have just done what Microsoft did and spend the extra money on hardware instead of trying to jimmy rig their system to get there.

You mean his head lives in the PS5 rent free since the PS5 is about the size of a small Japanese apartment.

Yea, I too wonder where people are going to put it as it sells out fast this holiday. And I wonder where are stores going to put all those unsold Xbox's.

You do realize that the Series X is SMALLER than the PS5?? And not just by a little.
Why in the world would you think the PS5 will fit in someones cabinet but not the Series X??

In a forum full of size queens I figured GAF would be the last place to complain about the size of the PS5.

Right? Our 4k +80 inch television living rooms have no room for a console.

It's probably due to the jet engine noise level of a gen Sony had with the PS4.
I'll take it's big fugly look over another noisy ass console.

Both machines can fit in my media cabinet, either standing or lying down, because I can remove or adjust the position of the middle shelf on each side (one of which is closed in the following picture).Don't bother, the height and width language of my entertainment center is more indicative of general overall dimensional design both horizontally and vertically.
The guy is off his rocker. Series X won't be a problem for basically anyone.

the ps4 and pro suck for cooling, imo both complete design failures.

Thickness is the bigger issue for me (and I’d imagine most people). If the Xbox was an inch thinner then it would fit inside my tv stand, whereas the PS5 is likely to fit on its side without any issues. If you’re trying to fit a single device onto a shelf in a tv stand, length won’t matter 99% of the time (unless you put multiple devices on a shelf).
Either way vertical positioning seems to be the move for both systems, and this is a pretty pointless discussion.

I don’t mind that it’s big but I do mind that it’s fucking ugly.

If one of these fit, both the PS5 and Xbox both fix on their sides.
Most stands are designed to hold one, they are all about 420mm wide, 140mm tall (+feet), and around 300mm deep accounting for the faceplate and knobs.

His FUD about Series X was that the norm for tv stands is something like this, so you can't do horizontal placement of Series X.If one of these fit, both the PS5 and Xbox both fix on their sides.
Most stands are designed to hold one, they are all about 420mm wide, 140mm tall (+feet), and around 300mm deep accounting for the faceplate and knobs.
What he forgot was that a flat PS5 won't fit either, so he zipped his mouth soon after. Even if it barely fits with the stand, it'll have no space for ventilation.
Most people have units like this which don't have the tallest shelves. This is Tom Warren's. Most people are going to have to put the Series X on top. The PS5 is far easier to fit in a traditional shelf than the XSX. No question.

it looks like a chinese clone console, people ragged on the xbox series S drive-thru speaker but this isn't even in the same universe of ugly.

The "fins" protrude to a greater degree in this picture than they do in official pictures released by Sony.it looks like a chinese clone console, people ragged on the xbox series S drive-thru speaker but this isn't even in the same universe of ugly.

There's more total hardware in the PS5, than there is in the Xbox Series X.

I thought it was fake?When this picture leaked some wondered if it was real. Well, it is.
Someone did one of those Photoshop infrared image checks and the PS5 looked Photoshopped in???

I must have missed the decibel measurements released for each console. My bad.
Also, the competition isn't that much smaller.

From what I understand it was inconclusive. The way the test was made didn't really prove it was fake.
And now that we have official dimensions and that new over-the-top picture (which matches this exactly) there's zero chance it was fake.

LOL! I meant to say "There's more total hardware in the PS5, than the XSX."

1 140mm fan using the console design to draw air across the entire console is going to be quieter than what ever blower style setup the PS5 is using, then take into account that the XSX uses less power than the PS5 and thus generates less heat. Again, it leads to the conclusion that it's going to produce less noise.
And today, on neogaf, I found out that being ~50% larger is "not that much"

What are you talking about? Physically there should be less, it's not about the total hardware either, it's about how it was built.
Sony went with the traditional single PCB which requires a larger footprint, Microsoft split their PCB into two halves.
