It's two inches dude, I know someone may have told you that's big..
but it's not

It's more like 3 1/4", plus the fact that the system appears to be about 10-11" deep.

 

[UnravelKatharsis]

Why all of a sudden are gamers giving a shit about how big a console is? I wouldn't care if it were the size of my couch I'd throw a pillow on that shit and game on.

 

[sinnergy]

Ps3 and 4 also show class, now they have A lot Nintendo appearance, but weird for their target audience.

 

[sinnergy]

It's nothing new , size matters , in Japan they have small rooms ! I think Sony will lose turf there, look what happened to Xbox there.

 

[Three]

its volume is almost twice that of the PS4 pro according to the rough measurements people have done, and 1/3 bigger than the Series X

Its volume is less than the Series X

 

[Mattyp]

Its volume is less than the Series X

How do you figure? It looks to be about twice the depth and longer. You're missing a bit in width that's it.

And the original PS4 was 10.8" w 12" d
I'm not seeing the deal
Now I've took those images and set them by their dimensions, not sure how whoever made this comparison manage to get the sizes they did when they used the USB and disc drives as a point of reference
I also removed the added stand height
as the feet are missing off XSX
Yeah it is big but people are over exaggerating

And here's EG comparison from not long ago

Which means this has every Xbox and the original PS3 smaller then it actually is

In your first pic the PS5 drive slot (red line) is shorter than the XSX though...

It doesn't look twice the depth

Look at the controller size. Twice the depth would need to be two controls.

 

[DynamiteCop!]

Its volume is less than the Series X

The volume is not even close, the Series X volume is 418". I think you greatly underestimate how small it actually is, it's only 5.94"x5.94"x11.85".

The PlayStation 5 is roughly 15" tall, its widest point is close to 4" and its depth is debatable but at a minimum 9". It's in the lower to mid 500's in terms of volume in inches.

You can't just remove the stand height because the fact is we don't know how it interacts with the system. Is it integral to the vertical cooling? Is the system incredibly unstable without it?

You don't get to pick and choose, its intended configuration is with the stand so that is what you measure by.

 

[TGO]

That's because I've used the image from before and set each one base on their actual dimensions
You can do this yourself and you'll get the same results
And as you can see my results are almost identical to the Eurogamer one from a few months ago
I'm not sure what went on in the original image but it's most definitely isn't accurate

Hey I thought you wanted a straight from bottom to top comparison.
The size doesn't include the stand and would make the PS5 smaller if I included it

it is confirmed to be > the mass of TC's momma

I refuse to believe it's that gigantic until I see an actual physical unit. The different renders don't really seem to have the same scale or something?

But what do I know

 

[Jigsaah]

I plan on moving in September, so at least I can get a place with housing the PS5 in it in mind. Just need to make sure it can fit through...the door...hmmm.

Imagine how gigantic the packaging is going to be lol. Biggest console ever, biggest box ever...

I don't know my PS4 box was actually bigger than my PS3 one

 

[MastaKiiLA]

It'll go next to the TV, beside the router. I'll actually get to use the wired connection for something. I imagine this is a non-issue for people with wall-mounted TVs, but as I'm renting, I didn't feel like drilling holes into the wall, seeing as I'll be taking any mounts with me to my next residence.

Some people have wifes and eyes.

 

[tassletine]

I think the thing is too big and too reminiscent of a Flashy gaming PC. (I already have one of those).
I'm going to wait for a slim version as I don't think the trade off in graphics is worth finding a place for that in the loving room.

Quite disappointed with what has been shown so far. I'm a big Sony fan but it's clearly got to the point where console makers are bending over backwards (with the massive increase in size here) for what is very little gain.
I'm starting to see where Stadia gains traction now, when you're up against a boak case like that Stadia looks more and more attractive.

I know the bolded is a typo, but now I want a loving room in my house.

 

[samporter]

This thing is bigger than the original fat PS3. That is impressive, and not in a good way.

I don't know if anyone remember the original fat PS3, but that thing was big, loud, and heavy. If I remember correctly, it was notorious for overheating despite being big, loud and heavy. This is not a good look for Sony especially after the PS4.

 

[Pug]

If the size comparisons are correct, there should be no reason for the PS5 to be loud. Its is fecking massive, ridiculously so by the looks of it.

You remember another console that generation for being "prone to" or "notorious for" overheating and its red rings . If it were a small console we would have "concerns about overheating", if it is a big console we have "concerns about overheating", etc... not like there was any way for Sony to convince some, now was it?

 

[GaviotaGrande]

Nah, PS2 is beautiful.

I agree. I keep my aqua PS2 on a shelf as an art piece. I just love how it looks.

 

[Ahmady]

I think it's a little misleading that only take the shortest width for the PS5. You should do it like this:



I mean, you still need this width at the base, otherwise you can't put your PS5 there, you can't put the PS5 up-side down, so the width at the bottom is the most important part.

 

[ethomaz]

40 seems about right (without stand) but the 20cm? The XSX is 30 x 18 x 18. The limited side on views are deceptive but from my perspective analysis the PS5 will be closer to 40 x 25 x 6 (with the disc)

Taking the controller by reference (around the same size) then the PS4 looks way bigger with these 27.5cm.
Maybe like you said it just the perspective.

 

[ethomaz]

Xbox team just did a better job, that's a fact.

XSX is smaller, more powerful and, possibly, cost the same to make or, even less, than the PS5.

XSX is bigger from what I can see.

It is less than 6000cm3 vs 6750cm2.

It really doesn't matter how this image pans out, it's the largest console ever created with more volume than the Series X. Even if some of the measurements are a bit off that wouldn't change its positioning in any meaningful capacity.

The Series X volume is 418 inches, the PlayStation 5's volume is between 530-560 inches. It's absolutely gigantic.

What crazy math and FUD.

XSX = 30 x 15 x 15 cm = 6750mm3
PS5 = 40 x 20-25 x 6 = 6000mm3 max using the 25.

Volume size Xbox is bigger.
It is no even close to the largest console create... it is closer to PS4 Pro size than XSX.

PS3: 27.4 x 32.5 x 9.8 cm = 8726 cm3
XB: 26 x 32 x 10 cm = 8320 cm3
XB1: 27.4 x 33.3 x 7.9 cm = 7208 cm3
XSX 15 x 15 x 30 cm = 6750 cm3
PS5 < 6000 cm3
PS4 P: 29.5 x 32.7 x 5.5 cm = 5305 cm3
PS4: 27.5 x 30.5 x 5.3 cm = 4445 cm3
XB1 S: 23 x 29.5 x 6.4 cm = 4342 cm3
XB1 X: 24 x 30 x 6 cm = 4320 cm3
PS4 S: 26.5 x 28.8 x 3.9 cm = 2976 cm3
SW: 10.2 x 23.9 x 1.39 cm = 338 cm3

Granted the width of the base should be accounted for but I think it's even more misleading to claim the console is as wide as the width of the base. You could put it horizontally or probably even vertically without the base in some setups.

 

[ethomaz]

Look at the controller size. Twice the depth would need to be two controls.

Exactly it is less depth than PS4 (27.5cm / 10.8 inches).

To PS5 be bigger than Xbox it has to be more square and less rectangle... it is obvious it is not.

 

[EdGalTBR]

Fan made concept.

Rrrr

 

[Roman Empire]

Enough with calling it PS5. Now onwards is The Behemoth.

The "Pro" version will be named Leviathan, and I won't accept it any other way.

[losslessFlac]

Teardown when?

 

[DESTROYA]

Hmmmm interesting analysis guys, so the Xbox people say it's massive while Sony people say it's not as big as some people think........that clears everything up!
C'mom somy release the actual size for some us to prepare a spot

 

[Daniel_Mallorca1985]

 

[EverydayBeast]

It's SONY's best interest to get the PS5's in public to take it off the hot seat, if they're sticking with this shy guy stuff it's just criminal to their fanbase.

 

[mortal]

This thing is really slick.

 

[GaviotaGrande]

Hold up a minute. It needs a stand to lay flat?

 

[JLMC469]

Digital looks horrible horizontal.

 

[prinz_valium]

Wait different stand for different Version?

 

[Clear]

Nah, I don't see anyone with a legitimate interest in the system being so hung up over it. As per usual its salty platform warriors trying to make it a thing.

Sony have evidently learned their lesson, they simply don't engage and let the controversy fizzle out. Its the playbook they've been running all gen long and its been working flawlessly.

Nobody who wants either of these consoles is legitimately going to look at it in person and say "oh this is too big nevermind."

Are you using google translate to translate a foreign language and then posting?

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Who knows if SeX is more volume. Its more square than flat/rectangular. And for anyone who wants to do true volume, brush up on your geometry skills because PS5 has curves.

But no doubt, PS5 will be a bigger footprint, especially if you lay it flat.

As for vertical, SeX is wider, but PS5 is taller and longer (depth).

 

[DESTROYA]

Wait different stand for different Version?

Of course they have different contours so you would need a different base for good stability.
I'm sure they will both be included in the box

 

[YodaBB]

Hold up a minute. It needs a stand to lay flat?

It looks like its the vertical stand rotated 90degrees for the horizontal position (lower part to the front in vertical, lower part to left in horizontal). Thats why the top of the stand is sculpted to fit the curved surface and why the digital one is much flatter. I dunno if it just sits on it or it slots in, I don't think they're shown the right side of the case to see if theres any notches.
On the disk version, I'm not sure if it would tilt over to the right without the stand - depends on whether the c-of-g is to the right or left of the pivot point (where the side curves up away from the floor) and how flat the contact side is. I'm guessing it would be pretty unstable even if it didn't. The digital one would obviously sit at a bit of an angle without the stand and probably wobble diagonally backwards/forwards depending on contact points.

I think the issue is that the XSX is a very simple cube case that wastes no plastic at all in its dimensions and packs in the components tight. Watching Richard Leadbetter put the thing together was like watching the Krypton Factor intelligence test round!

The PS5 on the other hand has a style and design that means there is lots of plastic overhang that adds to the overall size but is otherwise useless. I think in reality it will be smaller than it looks right now.

Also I believe the DF/EG console size comparison picture is the most accurate.
