Playstation 5 tulee olemaan fyysisesti se kaikkien aikojen kookkain konsoli. Nikkein haastattelussa Sonyn laitetiimin Otori Yasuhiro paljasti, että konsolista olisi voitu tehdä kooltaan pienempi. Tällöin konsolista olisi tullut kalliimpi liittyen jäähdytykseen. Raha siis ratkaisi.
"It was possible to develop the Playstation 5 to be smaller. For example, by implementing two cooling fans, one for side A and side B, the Playstation 5 size would have been reduced.
However, there is naturally an additional cost associated with having two fans. Additionally, controlling the functionality of two fans is more difficult than just one. With these additional obstacles in mind, we decided to cool both sides of the main board with one, large fan."
