Sony sent the PlayStation 5 and various accessories to a number of Western media outlets and influencers last week. Now they?re finally able to share their first impressions. At present, only details about the system itself (in a powered off state), DualSense, and Astro?s Playroom are making the rounds. But one piece of key information may be overlooked. The PlayStation 5?s disc edition is not as heavy as it may seem at first glance. In terms of pure weight, in fact, Sony?s new console and Microsoft?s are nearly the same size.
As the embargo lifted this morning at 7:00am CST, Geoff Keighley posted a quick video of himself holding the PS5 out of its box. Part way through the video, The Game Awards creator noted that while the console is indeed large, ?it actually doesn?t weigh as much as you think it would.? Keighley weighed both the PS5 and Xbox Series X on a scale, finding that the PS5 clocks in at 9.9 pounds (4.49kg). Meanwhile, Xbox Series X weighs 9.6 pounds (4.35kg).
