The PS5 Slim is an aesthetic update to the console with one extra - the detachable disk drive. Otherwise, there are no hardware or spec changes. As a result, if you have an existing, launch PS5 model, unless you really like the new design or really want the detachable disk, there's no reason to go for the PS5 Slim. a b McFerren, Damien (26 November 2019).

Later, Sony added new development kits for game developers and more PS2 units for consumers. The PS2's built-in functionality also expanded its audience beyond the gamer, [11] as its debut pricing was less than many standalone DVD players on the market. This made the console a low-cost entry into the home theater market. [46] [47]Fahey, Rob (March 9, 2004). "Sony launches new PS2 colors in Japan". GamesIndustry.biz.

The PlayStation 2 received widespread critical acclaim upon release. A total of over 4,000 game titles were released worldwide, with over 1.5 billion copies sold. [21] In 2004, Sony released a smaller, lighter revision of the console known as the PS2 Slim. Even after the release of its successor, the PlayStation 3, it remained popular well into the seventh generation. It continued to be produced until the beginning of 2013 when Sony finally announced that it had been discontinued after over twelve years of production, one of the longest lifespans of any video game console. New games for the console continued to be released until even shortly after the end of its life and support from Sony. Sony Interactive Entertainment is revamping the look of the PlayStation 5 this November with a smaller, lighter version of the console. In addition to a slimmer form factor, SIE also revealed the Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive add-on for the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition — the console without a built-in Blu-ray drive.
