The first unboxing videos for the PlayStation 5 went live just now. We show you on MeinMMO the videos and look at the comments: The interest in the unboxing of Sony’s new console is immense.
Why are the videos coming out right now? There have been rumors for some time, that Sony has already shipped consoles to influencers and journalists. However, reporting on the PS5 was apparently under an embargo. This embargo ended on 27.10.2020 at 1:00 PM German time.
Now journalists and influencers have posted their videos about the unboxing of the PS5 online. Although it is still early morning in the USA, the comment sections are already full, view counts are skyrocketing, and excitement is pulsating across the web.
Unboxing video of the PS5 has over 250,000 views immediately
These are the unboxing videos: Influencer Marques Brownlee has 12.6 million subscribers on YouTube. Brownlee is known for reviewing hardware. His channel is filled with videos in which he tests smartphones, regularly racking up between 2 million and 5 million views.
He is now unboxing the PlayStation 5 and showcasing the hardware to his fans, many of whom envy him for this privilege.
The YouTuber says:
- The first thing he noticed is simply the size: The PlayStation 5 is gigantic
- The textures of the PS5 are interesting, the outside of the PS5 is matte, but the inside is glossy with reflections
- “super cool” is the text that consists of tiny X and O, the controller symbols of PlayStation
The unboxing video of the PS5 has already surpassed 250,000 views and more than 35,000 comments just a few minutes after its release.
The well-known gaming YouTuber Arekkz writes: “I love it. I can’t wait for my weird alien console to arrive.}}
A second unboxing video for the PlayStation 5 comes from the international gaming site IGN. There, Destin Legarie carefully unboxes the PlayStation 5 and even puts on gloves for it.
Legarie also seems impressed by the size of the PlayStation 5, comparing it to and placing it next to every other console in his household, including a standard PlayStation 4.
In the comments, it says:
“Dude, that thing is a beast. God damn, the PS3 looks small next to it. Everyone will lay this thing down to fit it into the living room decor.”
During the unboxing, testers show the PlayStation 5 in direct comparison with the Xbox Series X and other PS consoles.
You can easily try out whether the PlayStation 5 fits into your living room decor with an AR app.
By the way, in an interview, PlayStation boss Jim Ryan spoke about the pre-orders and the availability of the PS5 at launch. For example, the PS5 sold better in the USA in the first 12 hours than the PS4 did in its first 12 weeks. You can find more about this here:
