We knew that the PS5 was big, but it’s become abundantly clear that Sony’s next-gen console will monopolize your living space.
As shown by these drawn-to-scale diagrams from online illustrator Keisawada – which places the PS5 next to other existing hardware such as the Nintendo Switch – the PS5 comfortably towers above its rivals, and even dwarfs the Xbox Series X which is 89mm shorter.
Whether the console is placed horizontally or vertically, the PS5 requires a serious amount of real estate. Not only is the console incredibly tall, it’s also surprisingly deep. Whichever orientation you opt for, then, space will be at a premium.

According to Sony, the PS5 is 390mm tall x 260mm deep x 104mm wide, but this doesn’t account for the console’s stand or “largest projection”. In comparison, the PS4 Pro is 327mm tall x 295mm deep x 55m wide, and the Xbox Series X is 301mm tall x 151mm deep x 151mm wide.
