A lot of people are gearing up to buy their next-gen consoles for November, and so far it seems that the Xbox Series X has been winning when it comes to hardware. Just in, PlayStation has dropped an official teardown video giving us an inner look at the components of the PlayStation 5.

Your first look at PS5's internal components* that will power the next generation of amazing games.

From the get-go, you can really see just how massive of a console the PS5 is. When Ootori holds it up next to himself, it’s almost as large as his torso. The stand is also kind of elegant, as it has a neat storage system and will also help in displaying the console horizontally.
One feature that’s also pretty neat is that the console has a dust collector where you can insert your vacuum to clean the PS5. I have a feeling the detachable shell is also going to allow for easier ways to customize the look of the console—like a large, fancy phone.
Admittedly, I still think that the design of the Xbox Series X|S is more elegant, but the PlayStation is still in possession of some great exclusives. I guess we’ll just have to wait after November to see the fallout of the console wars.
The PlayStation 5 launches on Nov. 12. Check out all the games slated for release on the console in our Upcoming PS5 Games list.
