PS5 news: Over 4,000 games being tested for backwards compatibility; console weight revealed; PlayStation 5 is not the only next-gen console that looks like a router

Jim Ryan, CEO of SIE, has reaffirmed that testers are going through a library of over 4,000 games in regard to PS5 backwards compatibility. An Amazon France listing for the console has apparently revealed how much it weighs. Xbox Series X fans comparing the PlayStation 5 with a router should best avoid buying a Linksys Velop Intelligent Mesh Wi-Fi System.

The Xbox <> Router comparison is so disingenuous.   The PS5 looks like what you expect a router to look like.  The LinkSys router that resembles the XBox does not look like what you expect a router to look like.  So the XBox, at worst, looks like a router that, itself, does not look like a router.  This is nothing more than a "yeah, but".

It's also totally unimportant. All that matters is that you like it or not. Taste is always subjective. I for one think both don't look bad, but I clearly prefer the futuristic design of the PS5. The Xbox just looks too much like an ashtray to me.

There are no routers so big.

I like the look of the Xbox more, but who buys console based on looks, duh. We'll see about games.

I am glad to know that both have backward compatibility. If I ever decide to buy one I will be able to play older exclusives. That said, I'm pretty happy having only a PC.
