At an Ikea branch, you won’t have to drag your Xbox Series X to see if it fits in a specific case.

When the PS5 and Xbox Series X were revealed last year, players were surprised by their size. Comparing the Sony console with household items has become a social media trend, while CNET’s Dan Ackerman himself brought life size models at your local Ikea to see how they fit into multiple cabinets before their launch in November.
The Swedish furniture seller understood the challenges people face with next-generation consoles and created their own simulation console units so you can see how they fit into multiple cabinets, as noted by a Reddit user.
“Which Ikea media storage unit will be able to fit my new oversized gaming console as a meme?” reads the copy on the side of the fake PS5.
It’s a mockery of Sony’s huge PS5, but these simulated consoles would be very useful when choosing cases. The PS5 in particular is so tall – just over 15 inches tall – that you’ll have to choose wisely.
The company confirmed to CNET that the photos were taken at its store in Schaumburg, Illinois.
“The store team saw the need to demonstrate how the newest generation of game consoles can fit into IKEA storage units, and three of our co-workers came together to make the simulated consoles come alive,” said a spokesman. in an email announcement.
