It has the machine&rsquo;s weight down as 4.78 kg, which is a hefty 10.54 pounds. Assuming the listing is accurate, that would make the PS5 one of the heaviest consoles ever.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who bought a PlayStation 3 might have bad memories of trying to carry the beast home. It weighed 11 pounds&mdash;more than twice the weight of the original PS2. The PlayStation 5&rsquo;s 10.54 pounds would place it above the current number two: the chunky, original Xbox, which came in at 8.8 pounds.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"b-lazy b-loaded\" src=\"https:\/\/static.techspot.com\/images2\/news\/bigimage\/2020\/07\/2020-07-06-image.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"byline\">Is this the PS5? The guy holding it does look like he&#8217;s straining<\/p>\n<p>There&rsquo;s some debate over whether the listing&rsquo;s weight includes the packaging, but even if it does, the PS5 will likely still be near the top of the heaviest-consoles list&mdash;certainly above the fifth-place PS4 Pro (7.3 pounds).<\/p>\n<p>The Xbox Series X, a heavy-set machine that looks more like a PC tower than a traditional console, could also tire your arms with its reported 9.81-pound weight, making it the third-heaviest console behind the PS5.<\/p>\n<p>What&rsquo;s confusing about the listing is that the Digital Edition of the PS5, the one without the Blu-ray disc drive, has the same 10.54-pound weight, which seems very unlikely&mdash;the disc-less version of the Xbox One is around a pound lighter than the standard version.<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not the weight listing is accurate, we know all the extra hardware and cooling means the PS5 is going to be quite the unit. It&rsquo;s still a baby next to some enthusiast PC cases, of course, such as the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/bestof\/cases\/\">Corsair Obsidian 1000D<\/a>, which could double as a small domicile.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?format=go&#038;jsonp=vglnk_159474751264413&#038;key=552a35ca1eb1421626a0f973ac2a90af&#038;libId=kcm6xjmb01001u52000DA7d7orbdm&#038;loc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.techspot.com%2Fnews%2F85985-ps5-could-second-heaviest-console-ever.html&#038;v=1&#038;out=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.de%2FSony-Interactive-Entertainment-PlayStation-5%2Fdp%2FB08B42QX93%3Fth%3D1&#038;ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.feedspot.com%2Finfiniterss.php%3F_src%3Dfeed_title%26followfeedid%3D4731608%26q%3Dsite%3Ahttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.techspot.com%252Fbackend.xml&#038;title=The%20PlayStation%205%20could%20be%20the%20second-heaviest%20console%20ever%20-%20TechSpot&#038;txt=Amazon%E2%80%99s%20German%20store\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?format=go&#038;jsonp=vglnk_159474751264413&#038;key=552a35ca1eb1421626a0f973ac2a90af&#038;libId=kcm6xjmb01001u52000DA7d7orbdm&#038;loc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.techspot.com%2Fnews%2F85985-ps5-could-second-heaviest-console-ever.html&#038;v=1&#038;out=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.de%2FSony-Interactive-Entertainment-PlayStation-5%2Fdp%2FB08B42QX93%3Fth%3D1&#038;ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.feedspot.com%2Finfiniterss.php%3F_src%3Dfeed_title%26followfeedid%3D4731608%26q%3Dsite%3Ahttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.techspot.com%252Fbackend.xml&#038;title=The%20PlayStation%205%20could%20be%20the%20second-heaviest%20console%20ever%20-%20TechSpot&#038;txt=Amazon%E2%80%99s%20German%20store<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Ann<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>Ann<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"233\" height=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3998-ICN.png\" alt=\"\">Only the PS3 is&nbsp;heavier In context:&nbsp;We already know that the PlayStation 5 is going to dwarf the current generation of consoles, and it looks like it might be the second-heaviest console of all time, beaten only by Sony&rsquo;s behemoth of a machine: the PlayStation 3.
