If thats all you wanted from a PS5, then the new version is certainly an upgrade.

We all remember how dramatic the switch from the original PlayStation 2 to the PlayStation 2 Slim was.
Its like a dolphin flipper compared to a whale fin.
However, most of the size difference is the height and depth.
The original PS5 measured 15.4 by 4.1 by 10.2 inches.
The new PS5 comes with a full 1 TB of internal storage compared to the originals 825 GB.
The older stand that came with the console cradled it but left it essentially loose.
Oh, and the face plates are removable, too.
News from the future, delivered to your present.
PS5 and Xbox gamers are out of luck… for now.
