The PlayStation 5 Pro was launched in the autumn, bringing the total number of PlayStation consoles to seven (if you count the Pro models). But when you're in the mood to play, which of them has the shortest time from pressing the power to being up and running?

Check out the video below for some enjoyable PlayStation nostalgia. Which Sony console is your favourite?
