First, let’s get the design out of the way. That’s actually the tough part. In terms of consoles, this one’s humongous; at 4.5 kg, it’s no lightweight. Ever since the last PlayStation
console debuted last decade, our TVs have become slimmer and learnt to blend in more effectively into our shrinking urban living spaces. This is the type of gadget that’s tough to ignore in
a living room and it’s not just the large footprint. The design is clearly love or loathe. It’s a contrast from the more industrial-style design that we liked about the new Xbox, while
checking it out for The News Minute. I have to say that I’m in the ‘Love’ camp; although it’s quite tall in its vertical form, it can fit into TV cabinets or shelves when you switch it to
horizontal mode. The PS5 has a more futuristic vibe, almost something that you might find in a Star Wars set.
