My DS has just THROWN his PS 5 controller out of the second floor window after he has just been glitched out of his game of Fortnite and it has now been cracked and no longer works. I feel like punishing him but I don't want his anger issues to worsen.

Of course there should be punishment / consequences for this behaviour. Not addressed it could cause his behaviour to get worse as he views it as acceptable.
How old is he?

Natural consequence there anyway. Lose your temper and throw an expensive item and break it?

Well shoot, you no longer own an expensive item.

I'd sympathise and be clear that you won't be rushing to replace it.

Personally I’d be taking the ps5 off him. I’m grumpy so he’s probably loose it for at least month.
