When Sony revealed the appearance of the PS5, criticism for its enormous size was not long in coming. The console is the biggest in history, and although Sony explained the reasons, the main question for some fans is whether it will fit in the TV cabinet.
To resolve the doubts of those who have or will soon be owners of a PS5, Ikea implemented a solution. The company already has cardboard models of the PS5 and Xbox Series X in their stores.
A user in Reddit took a photo of the two mockups in an Ikea store. While the Xbox Series X is a simple black box with measurements, the PS5’s design includes the side panels.
Ikea leaves nothing to the imagination and includes detailed measurements of components. This will make it easy to choose a table for your next-generation console. This is important, as although the consoles can be positioned vertically or horizontally, it is always good to have an object with the actual dimensions on hand.
Consoles are already part of the Ikea experience, who also offers mockups of other household products. At the moment it is unknown if the PS5 and Xbox Series X will be available in all stores of the chain. It is also not known if there is a similar version of the Xbox Series S, the console next-gen smallest from Microsoft.
Although the implementation of Ikea comes several weeks behind the launch of the PS5, the reality is that the console is sold out. User demand, added to the problems generated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the detestable scalpers make getting a console almost impossible.
Despite the above, the launch of the PlayStation 5 became the most successful in the history of all consoles. Sony has already committed to satisfy the demand offering more units during the first months of 2021. If you still do not have a console, at least you can buy an Ikea furniture being sure it will fit.
