The PS5 is a system that was obviously designed to stand upright. I'd hazard the feeling is supposed to be "openness", given the way that the system looks like it's opening up in the upright position, becoming wide as you move from the bottom buttons to the air vents.
It's less about pure functionality and more about evoking some sense of emotion. The gentle slopes of the white outer plates remind me of post-modern architecture, like the Heydar Aliyev Center, the Bosjes Chapel, or the Hannam-Dong Hands Corporation Headquarters. Someone in the PlayStation 5 design team is taken by modern design. | Mike Williams/USG The Hardware Design Look, this thing is meant to be stood up. It's not flat by any stretch of the imagination. I say "rough", because the way the white outer plates frame the system prevents perfectly clean measurements of width, height, and depth. The rough dimensions of the thing are 15.4 x 4.1 x 10.2 inches (390 x 104 x 260 mm).

That's a substantial increase over the PS4 and PS4 Pro, which weighed 6.17 lbs and 7.2 lbs respectively on my scale. It weighs 9.81 lbs without the included stand, but since you can't really use the system without the stand, the "real" weight is 10.08 lbs. Lift with your knees, not your back, because the PlayStation 5 isn't a small or light system. Under those are the system itself, which takes up the rest of the box. There's also a Quick Start guide and a Safety guide that most of you won't read. Once you open the box, the immediate inside has the DualSense controllers, the power cable for the system, an HDMI cable, and a USB-C to USB-A cable for charging the DualSense.
Sony and the rest have brand-new 8K televisions for the high-end this year, so they want people to know their shiny console will support them. The box is cast in a soft white for the most part, rather than the white and blue of the PS4's box, and at the top it proudly lists labels for 4K120, HDR, and even 8K. Picking the box up by the plastic handle, this thing is almost 15 lbs in total. The PlayStation 5 is a hefty monster right out of the box. | Mike Williams/USG Unboxing the Next Generation It's one I can hear loud and clear, even if I'm not entirely sure I'm down with what it's saying. Sony could have covered the powerful guts of the PS5 in a simple black box, but it seems someone within the company wanted to make a statement. The sweeping white lines of the shell make the system look like it's melting depending on your perspective, even as the inner blackness of the core system hides the functional buttons and ports from certain angles, prizing subtlety. It's a hulking monolith, a massive system that shouts at you from the moment you pull it out of the box. Both are clean black boxes that go under my TV, and the only time I mess with them is to blow off the dust in their vents. Since the controllers are wireless and games are increasingly digital, I barely engage with the consoles themselves. While I enjoy the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, I admit that I also don't think about them much in terms of the hardware. Combined with the blue discs and that swank blue LED, the PlayStation 2 made a firm statement. It looked like a tiny server it meant business.
After years of oddly-designed boxes for kids-even the black and red Sega Genesis sported that small dome on the top-the PlayStation 2 was all straight lines with a sleek black finish. I remember the first time I turned on the PlayStation 2.
