Polygon today reports that PlayStation VR’s external processing unit is the size of a Nintendo Wii.

Sony has confirmed its virtual reality device does require an external processing unit, but never detailed its size. Polygon says it’s seen the processor and has also confirmed with Sony that the Wii-sized device is its final, retail look.

PlayStation VR is expected next year. We tried it out at PAX AUS back in October.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
