Definitely the biggest console ever

Thats not quite fair though.
This shows the Xbox Series X, standing flat at the height of the base PS5 (with its stand).
While ignoreing that Xbox Series X also has these 4 little pads that raise it, at its base.

Ei. Xbox Series X is abit taller than this picture shows.
(they only show the outline of the case of the xbox, ignoreing that its raised off the ground by 4 small feet, so it can take in air)

*edit:
Basically only the playstation 5 here has a stand, or such taken into account.
If your just compaireing the box sizes, you should remove the Playstation 5's stand to be fair with all the others without.

People are also ignoring the other 2 dimensions

Sony seems to have went 30% longer than XSX, but seems like 30% thinner. Probably pretty similar volume overall. But looks like the longest console ever.

Sony and MS went with very opposite designs. MS went with something that wouldn't look out of place among home audio systems. Sony made more artistic choices.

Also how are people concerned about cooling. There are good sized vents on the top. Airflow is probably pretty similar to XSX, unless people think rectangles are better for airflow...

It is weird that at same time we get complains about not cooling and being to big (even if the GPU is smaller and probaly the silicon in total), also we saw a very big number of air inlets.

But yes our aerodynamics specialists in VGC already analysed that square shape is the best for airflow. That and Sony having PS5 melting being the reason they weren't showing it.
