Someone asked on LinkedIn: (PS5) this design has left a deep impression on me-however, current players are more pursuing portability and convenience. The performance of PS4 has been amazing before. So why make new products bigger and bulkier?

Although the 7nm process provides an amazing heating energy efficiency ratio, its performance is still extremely extreme. But because this is a new technology, it releases a lot of heat, so we need space to dissipate heat.

In comparison, The xsx design is really amazing, with excellent heat dissipation, easy to clear dust, and no extra wiring.

The internal structure design of XSX is still much stronger than PS5. Looking at PS4P, the volume is much larger than X1X, but the performance is weaker and the noise is still greater.
