PS5 DualSense Controller: First Side-By-Side With PS4 DualShock

We've gotten a first real look at the PS4 and PS5 controller side-by-side. Revealed after a Geoff Keighley livestream about the new DualSense controller, the presenter posted a side-by-side comparison of the two:

As expected, the PS5 controller does look a tad heftier than the DualShock, but not hugely so. Keighley mentioned during the stream that the controller felt slightly heavier, but only slightly. After a reveal in April, we've learned a lot about the new controller's haptic feedback, adaptive triggers (and a little less about its still-mysterious Create button). Microsoft has already revealed the Xbox Series X and its controller, and we've broken down how these new controllers compare to each other. For more on PlayStation 5, be sure to check out the PS5's full specs and how it compares to Xbox Series X, why audio could be Sony's next-gen console's killer feature, and read Sony's comments on how the COVID-19 pandemic should not delay the launch of the PlayStation 5.
