Given the PS5’s rather large size in comparison to the competing Xbox Series X, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the system itself is rather heavy. While it's unlikely that the PS5 will deliver on fans' ideal vision of 60 frames per second, the games that have been rendered by the console's new technology all look visually impressive so far. The PS5’s addition heft may stem from its significantly beefed up hardware, including a highly advanced Solid State Drive that is said to greatly reduce load times and has been hailed by industry insiders like Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney as being superior to even the latest high-end gaming PCs. Additionally, the Amazon Germany page also lists the PS5’s DualSense controller as weighing 2.2 pounds (998 grams), which is much heavier than the DualShock 4, which is less than half a pound or around 220 grams), However, it should be noted that these measurements could be taking the system’s packaging into account. This places the PS5 between the PS4, which weighs 6.17 pounds (2.8 kilograms), and the original PS3, which scaled in at a hefty 11 pounds (5 kilograms).
