Sony’s new slimmed-down PS5 model has been “reduced in volume by more than 30%, and weight by 18% and 24% compared to the previous models,” according to the company. The notoriously tall PS5 is now slightly shorter by 33 mm (1.25 inches), and slightly narrower, by 44 mm (1.73 inches). In terms of weight, the revised standard PS5 model is losing 1.3 kg (about 3 pounds). Sony released updated dimensions and specifications for the new models, which you can read through below. Unlike Sega's Dreamcast, Sony originally placed little emphasis on online gaming during its first few years, although that changed upon the launch of the online-capable Xbox. Coinciding with the release of Xbox Live, Sony released the PlayStation 2 Network Adaptor in late 2002, with several online first-party titles released alongside it, such as SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs to demonstrate its active support for Internet play. [53] Sony also advertised heavily, and its online model had the support of Electronic Arts (EA); EA did not offer online Xbox titles until 2004. Although Sony and Nintendo both started late, and although both followed a decentralized model of online gaming where the responsibility is up to the developer to provide the servers, Sony's moves made online gaming a major selling point of the PS2.

We’d also like to see Sony’s new PlayStation Link tech come built into the console. Currently, anyone wanting to listen through their Pulse Explore or Pule Elite wireless earbuds and headset must plug a dongle into their console, which isn’t very 2023. It’s not even USB-C! The PlayStation Portal handheld has this functionality built-in, so there’s no reason Sony couldn’t incorporate it into a redesigned, more powerful PS5. Leadbetter, Richard (21 July 2012).
