Operating system?[edit]

I came here looking for information about the operating system that the PS5 runs (and didn't find it). I'm guessing it's proprietary, but is it based on an operating system I've heard of? Linux? Sony didn't write their own kernel, did they? Reddit says it's based on FreeBSD! - excarnateSojourner (talk | contrib) 06:18, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

50 million units[edit]

It is now reported that the PlayStation 5 has now sold 50 million units. GuyUser81 (talk) 19:59, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can you make the image in the infobox smaller, it's way too big. Thanks. Natsuinyerere (talk) 14:44, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done seems fine to me on PC and mobile. Upright is 1. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 14:54, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Natsuinyerere You can adjust the default width of thumbnails in your user preferences. -- ferret (talk) 16:14, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The short desc is currently 57 chars, which exceeds the <= 40 characters recommended by WP:SD40. I know there's exceptions to that limit, but I think exceptions should be reserved for clearly complex topics.

Propose changing to "Home video game console by Sony" or something similar; flexible on the result, just interested in getting it <= 40 chars. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 06:01, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done I changed it to Sony's fifth home video game console to match the format used on PlayStation 4. Jamedeus (talk) 07:10, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
