The PS5 should, therefore, weigh 4.78 kilograms. With this weight, it surpasses almost all previous consoles. The PS4 weighs just 2.8 kg in comparison, while the PS4 Pro version has a weight of 3.3 kg. This makes the next-gen console almost two kilos heavier than the PS4.
The Xbox Series X is said to weigh 4.45 kilograms, according to the analyst Roberto Serrano. If this information is correct, the PS5 would be slightly heavier than its closest competitor.

With a weight of 4.78 kilograms, the PS5 would officially be the second heaviest Sony console. Only the massive PS3 weighed an even heavier five kilograms. Since the PS5 also appears to outperform all other consoles in terms of size, we could already guess that the new console from Sony will not be lightweight.
The PS5 Digital Edition will probably be a little lighter. Although the weight is also given here as 4.78 kilograms, it is most likely a placeholder.
There is also a lot of speculation about the weight of the DualSense controller. The analyst mentioned above also commented on this. He assumes 278 grams or 878 grams including packaging, whereas the DualShock 4 controller weighs 210 grams.
This would make the new controller more heavier than its predecessor. The difference is mainly due to the battery. With an electrical charge of 2200 mAh, this could have twice as much capacity.
