If you’re thinking the PlayStation 5 is smaller than the Series X, you’re mistaken. The image your seeing above (by Reddit user GREBO7) is the size comparison between PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PS4, PS4 Pro, Xbox One XB One X, PS3, PS3 Slim, Xbox 360, and 360 Slim. And you can clearly see that Sony’s PlayStation 5 console is the tallest of them all…and a bit chonkier compared to PS4 and Xbox One X.

This size was measured by the disc drives and USB ports on all consoles. With Xbox Series X being officially called a “Fridge,” many players are calling the new PlayStation 5 a “Router” which is clearly understandable.
