PS3 owners could never imagine contesting the recent findings by Weekly Famitsu that Sony’s HD console is the heaviest console, by weight. It’s like a sack of bricks wrapped in sleek black plastic coating!
Coming in at 11 pounds, the original PS3 console is 2.4lbs larger than the 8.6 lbs original Xbox console. The new PS3 Slim consoles however debuted at just 7.05, making it a tad lighter than the Xbox 360 at 7.9 lbs. In comparison, Nintendo’s little white Wii console averages a weight of 2.7 pounds.
I guess bigger isn’t always better, at least according to lifetime hardware sales figures.
