As long as the console doesn't glow in the dark, I don't care about its design. I won't see it while playing in the dark, I'll watch my games. I hope I won't be distracted by some LED effect on the console while playing...

What I don't like on that design is the location of the external ports. on the middle front? isn't it too high to plug something? like an external SSD?
how many plugs are available?

 

[jayleferm]

The design reminds me of an imperial scout trooper helmet seen in Return of the Jedi, after being smashed with big logs from both sides.

Later you'll definitely have trouble cleaning the console from dust, if you won't put it into any kind of glass furniture.

 

[Fugelmir]

I guess they're implying that it won't support the PS4 version of GTA5

 

[Xzi]

I disagree on that... the XBSX looks a bit generic, industrial, meh.... This one looks awful.
(anyway, who cares about looks)

Well, it's not like we can compare exclusives instead.

At first glance I'd say PS5 looks like one of those "gaming" routers, not great but it gets the general idea across. XBSX is straight-up a black box and could literally be anything at first glance. A humidifier, a subwoofer, or a mini-fridge. Microsoft put exactly zero effort into the design.

The last good looking xbox machine was the 360 s... everything after looks like utter trash

 

[huma_dawii]

Shocked, they did show the console!

 

[64bitmodels]

all we need is the UI and it will be perfect. the one thing that makes me the most hyped for a console is the UI

 

[Viri]

It's like if Alienware and those Chinese console knock off companies came together, and decided to make a console that looks like a router. And one of them was a huge fan of Seto Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh...

Spoiler

Sony made a console that makes the new Xbox look good, lol.

 

[Tentro]

I tried to make a console comparison picture cause it doesn't exist on the net yet, the PS5 console quality is only so good cause its a cut out of a screenshot but I tried to enhance it as much as I could.

it reminds me of a pussy hat ,only white

 

[pedro702]

it's called ''timed exclusive'', they aren't true exclusive at all

well so far conviction was never released outside of pc/xbox so it isnt timed since of now i havent seen it ported to any other hardware that wasnt made by microsoft as off yet.

 

[deinonychus71]

I hope Demon Souls will have the missing world added to it.

 

[pedro702]

i hope latter down the line they have solid collors ps5, i dont like dual color stuff that is why i went with grey switch, i guess they will always go for dual color because of the dual sense thing.

 

[MeAndHax]

LMAO the design what the hell is that

 

[CosmoCortney]

Sad they didn't stick with the devkit design for the retail version

 

[KingVamp]

If it didn't have the ends so long, it would probably look alright.

 

[MeAndHax]

Did they mention anything about the UI, storage and whether you need ps plus to play online? They say gta 5 has free online?

 

[cashboxz01]

the black panel in front should be OLED and display temps, network stats, frame rates on it.

The best UI ever used by Sony is the XMB. It was so simple and easy to navigate.

I use retroarch a lot and i don't like the XMB very much, its tedious for looking through files and finding games.
Maybe its because im using retroarch and the execution on PS3 was way better..? idk but from my experience its not that good haha

 

[Jayinem81]

New Ratchet & Clank graphics were disappointing. Ratchet should have looked like the real thing.
