The PS5 is the biggest game console in contemporary history
Sony's upcoming PS5 hardware has emerged in Taiwan's National Communications Commission (NCC), providing us with the first close up photographs of this next-gen console. The NCC has released a variety of pictures (PDF), showing the standard PS5 laying horizontally, the added cables, along with the removable base which holds the console in both vertical and horizontal positions.
The photographs also reveal exactly how large the PS5 truly is. We heard earlier this week that the PS5 is the biggest game console in contemporary history, even topping the Xbox One VCR-like form and Sony's own PS3. Sony released official measurements during its PS5 event this week, but they don't include the"biggest projection" or the optional base measurements.
It's clear from these photos that it's going to be a struggle to match a PS5 into amusement facilities, just as it will be using the Xbox Series X. Both consoles seem to be designed to primarily stand vertically, appearing rather unwieldy on their sides.
Unfortunately, the photographs do not offer a good look at exactly how you access the NVMe slot around the PS5. Sony is allowing PS5 proprietors to expand storage area, but we still don't have complete details on exactly how this will work. Sony has also teased the PS5 hardware is customizable in ways that previous generations of PlayStation consoles were not, so it's possible that at least one side panel of this PS5 is removable.
A second disc-less PS5 Digital Edition are also available for $399.99. Sony also revealed earlier this week that PS5 games will probably cost around $69.99.
