Glad it wasn't bigger. I'd hate to carry a big console around and I tend to travel with mine.

you travel with your PS4 right now?

These are great numbers for new consoles.

Niiice! keep us posted,
 
Will do. The controller is just absolutely amazing. I knew the adaptive triggers were going to be good but not this good. You really do have to use it to see how good it is

That's some great statistics, I can see it getting better as time goes on.
 
It's funny because when the adaptive triggers are first introduced on Astro's Playroom, it doesn't feel special. I was thinking, is this it? And then it hits you a few moments later when they are properly used for the first time!

read on Ps5's coil whine complaints from pushsquare:

Complaints of PlayStation 5 coil whine are not going away, as the system arrives in more homes and continues to be put through its paces. The issue is common with high-end graphics cards, so it’s not wildly surprising that Sony’s next-gen console is suffering from it – although it’s worth stressing that not everyone is experiencing it, and depending on the extent of the problem, you may not even hear it unless your ear is next to the hardware.

Nevertheless, the reports are now becoming far too common for this to be an isolated incident. On the ResetEra forum, some users have been sharing recordings of their consoles to better discuss the problem. In most instances, the sound is only audible during graphically intensive titles, like Demon’s Souls. It can sound like the system’s whining, but for most people it’s a distracting whirring noise.

Can you describe it better?What is the adaptive triggers about?
 
It's the second-worst major PlayStation hardware launch in Japan since the PlayStation 2 though according to famitsu. Covid effects aside.

This is sad news for PS5 fans. I thought the PS5 would be one of the best console hardware launch in Japan.

I read a few tech blog post that mobile gaming is very popular in Japan, so maybe a lot of gamers are mostly gaming on smartphones, handheld consoles, and tablets. PC Gaming like Fortnite and Minecraft is now very popular in Japan.

Maybe mobile gaming and the rising popularity of PC gaming may make Japanese gamers not as interested in buying a new PS5 game console until there is a game they want for the PS5 console,
 
Read Smash Bros. Sakurai's impression on his Ps5 from kotaku:


“I was able to snag a PS5 on launch day!” Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai begins in his latest Weekly Famitsu column. He was fortunate enough to get a pre-order at a chain retailer, noting that the supply outweighed the demand and that it seems he was quite lucky.

“First of all,” Sakurai says, “it’s a big console.” It most certainly is! This is the biggest PlayStation to date. Sakurai, however, felt the design was “cutting edge.” According to the game creator, his deadline for the column was even extended just so he could write his impressions.

“I am able to put it [the PS5] on the shelf under the TV, but thinking about the heat it puts out, I ended up placing it behind my well-ventilated television.” Sakurai, no doubt, is not alone.

“Using [the console], I thought every action was quick and nimble,” he adds. “Even when loading, depending on the situation, it was surprisingly speedy. The feeling of this rhythm was wonderful.”

Sakurai was pleased about the PlayStation 5's backward compatibility with PS4 games. “At launch, there aren’t many games, but I could download [PS4] game after [PS4] game,” he wrote. “Not slowing down, the first game I actually played on the PS5 ended up being The Ninja Warriors.”

“However, at the moment, the app folders are not separated. This is a pain.” Sakurai pointed out that he had previously organized his game library—obviously, he’s alluding to how the PlayStation 4 had a folder creation feature. As of writing, the PlayStation 5 does not yet support this. He adds he’s looking forward to the day it’s added.

Another issue the Smash Bros. creator pointed out was internal storage. “The capacity of the internal SSD, to be candid, is small and is already filled up. Taking out the operating system part, the amount that can actually be used is, what, 600GB?” Sony released the PlayStation 5 with 825GB of storage, but of course, that full number isn’t actually available to save games.

Sakurai pointed out that he was using a PS4 Pro with a 2TB hard drive and even then, he’d still have to delete things. Naturally, he expressed his desire for the storage amount to be increased.

“Overall, I am very satisfied! I think this looks like the start of a long relationship [with the PS5], and I definitely want to cherish [the console],” wrote Sakurai.

“Once the shortages end, I think this will be a console that many people will enjoy for a long time.”
