One of the leading engineers at Sony Interactive Entertainment Yasuhiro Otori confirmed in an interview with the Japanese portal 4Gamer that design Playstation 5 was designed including taking into account the reduction of production costs…
The PS5’s higher height allowed Sony to reduce the number of circuit boards. If the console case were made lower and wider, it would be difficult for developers to place one board in it, and then it would be necessary to change the configuration for two: the main one and the additional one. This, Otori said, would complicate the design of the heatsink and increase the cost of production and the final price of the console to the consumer.
“With two boards, the cost of production and the complexity of the heat removal design increase.”
Otori noted that in the beginning they wanted to reduce the height and increase the width of the PS5, but the PS5 design department requested that the console appear thinner when placed vertically. As a result, the design requirements and the solution that reduced the cost with a single board turned out to be interconnected.
“After the design department announced the required dimensions (volume), we began to think through the main design of the case. At the beginning of development, there were various plans, for example, to reduce the height and increase the width accordingly, but the design department made a request to make the console look thinner when placed horizontally. in connection with which the structure was made higher and narrower in width. “
The launch of the PlayStation 5 in Russia will take place 19th November… The cost of the console will be 46,990 rubles for the regular version and 37,990 rubles for digital.
