Sony's PS5 teardown reveals console's shocking design

Sony's PlayStation 5 console became the butt of many a meme when its design was finally revealed in June. From a skyscraper to a WiFi router, the general consensus was that it looks like pretty much anything but a games console. But Sony is clearly proud of the PS5's gargantuan design, and has now treated fans to a glimpse of what's going on inside that very large body.

In a video titled PS5 Teardown (below), Yasuhiro Ootori, Sony's VP of mechanical design, dissembles the entire console, giving us an ultra-detailed look at the PS5's intricate and powerful internals. (If you fancy making a video of your own, our best laptops for video editing are all up to the job.)
