Don't know how much of this is new info but:

-PS5 is over 3lbs heavier than XSX
-PS5 is 100% compatible with PSVR out the box
-Sony is testing the full 4,000 strong PS4 catalogue of games for backwards compatibility on PS5 with Jim Ryan saying so far they're happy with the progress being made.

Great news about VR

The French Amazon page had the following size measurements:

47.6 x 38.2 x 12.6 cm. 4.78kg.

If true its big and its heavy.

Pilfered from Era, the PS5's UI is going to be 100% new:










The Design Reveal trailer has now passed 21m views also.

Although I do still prefer the Xbox One tie-in:

Well that’s certainly stands out

That's just fan art, not a real console

I actually prefer the PS5 mock up even if it's a bit like a giant banana split The Xbox model to me always makes me think of ClapTrap rather than Cyberpunk

Ah, sorry.

I suspect that the side/top panel can be removed to access the SSD and I bet Sony will sell custom ones. Similar to the face plate on the 360.

[wakka]

Ah, sorry.

No worries, I was all a-flutter when I saw it thinking they'd announced Cyberpunk would def be compatible with PS5! Then I started googling and found the original tweet by the person who created it.

The PS5 reveal has clocked in 22m views and 1.1m likes.
To put that in to context, the Xbox seriesX shown in December still has 12m views and 300k likes.

I respect Microsoft's approach of going straight for a deep dive on specs with DF and aiming to maximise transparency about the new machine, but the fact of the matter is that Sony's deliberate mysteriousness has been a lot more engaging.

I feel like Microsoft's fear of another big 'ta da!' moment* with an immediate, disastrous response has led to their dripfeed approach. But it's just not as exciting as a big reveal**.

*not that sort of 'ta da' moment, teddymeow.

**not that type of reveal, either, ted.

Will my PS4 fit snuggly on top of the PS5? I mean like with both laid horizontally. That would be nice.
