They certainly didn’t hold back on anything when it comes to engineering this console.
Both Sony and Microsoft went all out on the cooling aspects and we’ll all be better for it. I more often than not play using a headset, but there’s no denying fan noise is annoying.

I still wish they allocated a dedicated memory chip for the OS, so we’d get the entire SSD for our games. Considering my 1TB PS4 Pro has a 4TB external drive connected to it, and my stuff takes about 85% of that entire space (I like to keep the best games installed at all time and have them ready at the click of a button), that mere 825GB is going to be filled quite fast, considering the size of the games and the amount of space lost to the OS.

At around CAD100$ for a portable 4TB HDD, yet around CAD750$ for a space equivalent M2 drive, I don’t see myself increasing the memory space in my PS5 anytime soon. That’s one of the only thing concerning me about the next gen consoles. Since I really don’t like swapping games on and off my consoles, or having to wait when transferring data from one drive to another.
