Do you like the PS5 console design?

True, looks exaggerated to me. And this is a comment from Eurogamer

Did the measurements myself. The console is pretty large.

These images seem to misalign the USB port.

USB port is 12mm x 4.5mm - the image Sony released shows a USB port which measures 4mm x 1.5mm - ratio is correct this works out.

This means you get a size of 315mm x 75mm. This is excluding the stand. Verified this with other images released and seems on point. This pegs it just a cm taller than the Xbox Series X.

I think people may be confusing the USB type c port with the USB port. And using dis slots is not accurate as some may have larger and curved in slots - not all are equal (only the inside). I it much smaller than these images make out.


Sony are probably loving all this speculation. Then come out with the actual bit smaller than expected dimensions.

Do you really believe that?

Why extrapolate from the USB size when extrapolating from the disc drive is much easier and more accurate?

A CD, DVD and Blu-ray all have a diameter of exactly 12 cm, so the slot-in has to be AT LEAST 12 cm... probably ~12.3 cm for a bit wiggle room.

In the official PS5 pictures you can easily see that the console is a bit higher than 3x the slot-in:

3 x 12 = 36 cm

3 x 12.3 = 37 cm

So the console should be 37 - 39 cm high WITHOUT the stand, NOT 31 - 32 cm.

Makes sense, 37 cm tall vs 29.5 cm of ps4 pro is what that previous comparison comes to

Aligned by bottom left corner if laid flat.

That would make the wing span about 6.5 cm (width on the right)
The height from the bottom (if laid flat and supported on the right edge) 9.9 cm, and about 6.2 cm on the left.
(The XBox Series X is 15.1 x 15.1 x 30.1 )

You can't hide a ps5 behind a XBox Series X

Aligned by bottom left corner.

Both are monsters!
