Millimeter values from official sources. Inch values converted at 1 in = 25.4 mm and rounded to 2 decimal places. Sony's figures exclude projecting parts and the vertical stand, which is sold separately and required for upright use. Without the disc drive (Digital Edition), the PS5 Slim is 3.15 in (80 mm) instead of 3.78 in (96 mm); the other two dimensions are the same.
What the numbers mean
Standing upright, the PS5 Slim body is the narrower of the two at 96 mm versus 151 mm for the Xbox Series X. Sony requires its separately sold vertical stand for upright use, and the stand is not part of these figures, so allow extra room beyond the 96 mm body.
Upright, the PS5 Slim is 57 mm taller: 358 mm against 301 mm for the Xbox Series X. An opening that clears the Xbox Series X by less than 57 mm is too short for the PS5 Slim.
Laid flat, the situation reverses. The PS5 Slim stretches 358 mm across — 57 mm more than the Xbox Series X. The PS5 Slim also extends 65 mm deeper (216 mm vs 151 mm). The Xbox Series X takes a 301×151 mm footprint when flat.
The Xbox Series X has a square cross-section (151×151 mm), so its upright footprint is the same whichever way it faces. The PS5 Slim's cross-section is 96×216 mm, so its footprint depends on the way it is turned.

Does the PS5 Slim or Xbox Series X take up more shelf space?
It depends on orientation. Upright, the PS5 Slim body is 96 mm wide versus 151 mm for the Xbox Series X, not counting Sony's separately sold vertical stand. Laid flat, the PS5 Slim needs 358 mm of width compared to 301 mm for the Xbox Series X. The PS5 Slim also needs 216 mm of depth flat, while the Xbox Series X needs only 151 mm.
Are the PS5 Slim dimensions official?
Yes. Sony's PS5 (CFI-2000 series) Safety Guide lists 358×96×216 mm as width × height × depth lying flat (horizontal), excluding protrusions. Standing upright, that is 96 mm wide, 358 mm tall, and 216 mm deep. The Xbox Series X dimensions of 301 mm high, 151 mm wide, and 151 mm deep come from Microsoft's official Xbox Series X specifications page.
