Expecting PS5 slim won't too much smaller than PS5 release.

PS2 Slim is the best slim version of all PlayStation family

ILostMyMind1419d ago

I think it's the slimest Slim ever. 🤣

Marquinho1419d ago (Edited 1419d ago )

It's curious to see so many PS fans awaiting for a slim version before the original version is released.

Keep in mind it took 3 years for the PS4 slim to be launched.

I'm not a fan of the PS5 huge form factor but I guess I won't stand waiting for so long.

@Marquinho
Indeed. I have no problem with PS5 or XSX size, I will not carry them in my pocket. It reminded me of people who complained that the PS4Pro was too hot. I never knew the temperature of my console, I didn't sit on it. 🤣

ProjectVulcan1418d ago

A slim console is ENTIRELY reliant on a new manufacturing process node to shrink the main SoC down and reduce the power consumption and thermal dissipation.

New process = less power = less heat. That means smaller VRMs, more compact motherboard design, smaller power supply, more compact cooling solution and all fitted in a smaller case.

PS5 will need a quality 5nm process to even think about this, which is going to be at least 2022 for mass production. Perhaps it might need an even better process than that to get the machine way down in size.

SamPao1419d ago

Of course it will be much smaller. Every slim is much smaller, in all generations :)

MajorLazer1419d ago

PS1 Slim was amazing too. Massive reduction in size.

TheScotsman1419d ago

not really worried about the size shape or colour, aslong as it plays games im cool, although it does look awesome

anonymousfan1419d ago

Not a huge fan of the PS5 design and colour but what matters to me is that is stays quiet and cool... And a comfortable controller. The rest isnt that important.

ifrit_caress1419d ago

Yongyea did this more than a week ago.

BenRC011418d ago

Ps2 slim runs on 9v so works off a car 12v socket.
Have one hooked up to my van, so small it will fit in a glove box lol. brilliant fighters on ps2, tekken 4 is every bit as good as tekken 7 gameplay wise, and it doesnt get any better than soul calibur 2.

To me the most important hardware is the battery. Doesn’t matter how powerful the chips are.

ABizzel11d 8h ago

Eh…. It’s a combination of multiple things.

The battery is hugely important as it allows you to have ideally 4 - 5 hour gaming sessions.

The more powerful the processor the more games developers can share to the handheld, nd of course the better said games perform.

From there display, software, and ergonomics matter, as a good display/software will allow games to be more vivid, run at variable fps 30/40/60 ideally, and good ergonomics means it’s comfortable to play for said 4 - 5 hours. Everything else is gravy at that point.

redrum0612h ago

Of course it matters how powerful the chips are for it to be future proof. Don't you want to be able to play new games?

Neonridr12h ago

the Switch proves that you don't need the most cutting edge power out there to be successful.

RaiderNation11h ago

@Neonrdr that doesn't prove anything because only Nintendo could get away with that. Their games aren't the most complex/graphically ambitious and Nintendo fans don't care.

Vits11h ago

@Neonridr

If anything, the Switch proves the exact point "redrum06" was making. Yes, it might be successful, but it's definitely not future-proof. Just look at how many games and franchises completely skip the platform.

Marcus Fenix13h ago

There’s no way you’re getting that 40CU 16-core APU in a handheld. That’s too hot and power hungry for that. The highest end APU they’re suggesting is going to end up in gaming laptops that can cool a 100W chip.

Jingsing13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

I think these articles get things a little out of perspective, Steam Deck has sold around 3 million and Switch has sold 140 million. But if you are browsing certain parts internet you'd think the Steam Deck had sold over 100 million. If articles are going to continue to circulate like this and continue to put the Steam Deck in the same arena then I'm comfortable calling the device a flop.

Neonridr11h ago

Steam Deck, while considerably more popular due to it's lower barrier of entry, is still a niche device with the likes of the ROG Ally and others.

I own one and it's really nice to be able to play some games on the go or in bed, but it'll never fully compete with a system like the Switch.

Skuletor11h ago

Especially when they're not in the same price range, the Switch is considerably cheaper.

gold_drake9h ago

sure but theres still a limit to what u can put in there ha. power consumption would be the biggest hurdle. and cooling.
