Not enough storage, This console is HUGE, Series X is more powerful
The anticipation surrounding Sony's next-gen console is so great that my impressions of the machine itself will always be drowned out a bit. It's fortunate, then, that the PS5 is Sony's best console to date. Effortlessly fast and unexpectedly innovative...
