Next-gen beyond simply graphics, Awesome controller, 3D audio for everyone,
Light on exclusive games, No Dolby Vision, limited Atmos, Missing some media apps,
While the PS5 and Xbox Series X both suffer from a lack of exclusive games, the PS5 certainly fares better on that front and, crucially, makes a better all-round case for getting on board the next-gen train. It feels fresh and new, has an innovative contr...
The console is huge, Limited storage space, No PS5 launch exclusives
The PS5 is an incredible next-gen console that has gamers excited for a number of reasons. As well as providing solid 4K@60fps gameplay and a lightning-fast loading experience, the PS5 takes graphics to a new level with high-quality textures, improved par...
Gorgeous new user interface, DualSense is astonishing, Strong launch library, Games run well
Not enough storage, This console is HUGE, Series X is more powerful
The anticipation surrounding Sony's next-gen console is so great that my impressions of the machine itself will always be drowned out a bit. It's fortunate, then, that the PS5 is Sony's best console to date. Effortlessly fast and unexpectedly innovative...

Abstract: High five.This is it. After months of waiting, we're finally in possession of the realisation of Sony's vision for the next generation of console gaming. PlayStation 5 features cutting-edge AMD CPU and graphics technology combined with ultra-fast solid...
Abstract: The PlayStation 5 is Sony's most powerful console yet, with a rather unique design and PC-standard graphics and processing. It offers native 4K HDR games and video, even up to 120 frames per second, and is the first Sony machine to sport a 4K Ultra HD Blu...
Abstract: With more than 110m PlayStation 4s sold, Sony is coming into the next console generation with nothing to prove. But the company has squandered goodwill before: it followed up the beloved PlayStation 2 with an awkward-looking, difficult-to-develop-for cons...
DualShock 5 controller offers sensory experience, Extremely fast load times, Backwards compatibility with PlayStation 4, Launch library with strong exclusives,
Very large, divisive design, Limited storage space, Fan sometimes makes high-pitched noise
The Sony PlayStation 5 is a powerful game console with an incredible controller and tons of potential. But it makes some noise and has a divisive design that's far too large for some conventional entertainment spaces...
Absurdly powerful and fast when enjoying games both old and new, User interface is refined, accessible and satisfying to use, DualSense controller feels like a true leap forward for gaming, Backwards compatibility means you can access your exis
The console is overly bulky and feels rather cheap in places, Lags behind Series X and S when it comes to loading times,
Should you buy the PS5?The PS5 is a meaningful evolution of Sony's achievements with its predecessor. It's a gorgeously accessible machine with a forward-thinking plan for the coming generation, whether that's through its nuanced SSD technology or grow...

What's most impressive about the PlayStation 5 as a games machine – we'll also assess its media playing talents in the coming week and update – is its ability to seamlessly continue to play your PS4 titles, but still feel exciting and new.Its strangely ma...

Bold console design with flair,Powerful next-gen hardware,Strong backwards compatibility,Excellent DualSense controller,Controller's haptic feedback is best in class,Runs quieter than PS4 Pro,Comprehensive selection of accessories,Spider-Man Miles Morale
Only 667GB of storage out of the box, No way to expand storage at launch, Console is very, very big,
Sony's PS5 is not just an awe-inspiring slab of shock and awe technology. There's also something delightfully old school about it. It's got buckets of next-gen performance on tap, but its proportions and design are truly something to behold. The PlayStati...
