Save the white only on release, what do you think of the design?

Personally i am not much for curvey technology designs and i had hoped we were past that after the ps4s.

it wont prevent me from getting one, but i wish they would just made it 90 degree angles with otherwise the same design.

maybe its cultural taste differences, but i have seen mostly negative opinions from north american gamers, does anyone know what the reaction has been to the design by japanese gamers?

 

[yunkaiza]

its thicc

 

[Agnostic2020]

Looks very futuristic to me . But to each their own

 

[Azelover]

Yes, very much so. But I'll get used to it..

 

[Birdo]

Yes. Usually a design grows on me over time, but this still looks bad (From every angle).

It's odd, because this is the same company that designed the Vita and PS3 Slim. Some of the the sleekest looking consoles ever made.

 

[TintoConCasera]

It's ugly as fuck.

 

[.Pennywise]

It's not ugly.

It's awful.

 

[Esca]

I like the look of the ps5 and xsx, though i wish the ps5 was black. The xss on the other hand, ugh

 

[reinking]

I wish it was all black but that might have been too intimidating.

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

Looks better in black.

 

[Pagusas]

Looks like a stupid “this is what the future will look like!” Style product that’s just silly looking.

 

[DonJuanSchlong]

If a giant and a router had sex, wifi 6 would be born.

 

[Business]

At first I didn’t like it but thought after some time I would. It’s not happening.

 

[Abriael_GN]

It looks like absolute shit.

Luckily, I absolutely don't care what it looks like. The only thing that bothers me is that when I'll end up buying it, part of my money will go to pay for that butt-ugly and completely unnecessary design.

 

[McHuj]

yes,, I wish I could get a black version.

Only the even numbered PlayStations look good.

 

[Stilton Disco]

I love it. Way too many modern electronics are boring, minimalist designs, made for boring, soulless people with boring, empty lives.

This feels like a throwback to a time when people with hope for the future made things.

 

[dottme]

I like it. but it's too big. the same design smaller would be great.

 

[Self]

Is this the last resort of Xbox fanboys? The look? It's getting ridiculous kiddos.

 

[deafmedal]

I plan to set mine up near my bed. When I want to last a bit longer while fucking I’m going to look over at it. Only downside is it might be the first thing I see when I wake up...

 

[Hissing Sid]

It's not a resort dude, it's just a poll to ask people their opinion on the console design.

 

[Self]

It's not a resort dude, it's just a poll to ask people their opinion on the console design.

The question is flamboyant by default. Can't fool me bro.

 

[kretos]

Who cares how it looks are you gonna play games or look at the console

 

[LOLCats]

fwiw, i am fan of both and always have been.

The question is flamboyant by default. Can't fool me bro.

oh that is BS.

 

[BigLee74]

Think I'd rather be caught by the wife watching porn than caught playing on that!

 

[Aggressive Carrot]

Can a console be a butterface?

The games matter more than the looks of PS5. Weird that we get hung up on little things like how ugly or not ugly PS5 is.

 

[All_Might]

I think it looks stunning, I have really enjoyed every single PlayStation so far. The black design in the concept is also very beautiful, but I am a sucker for first editions.

 

[Grand Theft Scratchy]

It looks better in black.

 

[Strider7]

Looks ugly and chintzy as hell.

 

[Flintty]

I’m definitely not a fan of how it looks. Not that looks would ever inform my purchase decision for a console. But yeah it’s fugly as sin.

 

[LOLCats]

Who cares how it looks are you gonna play games or look at the console

you are not wrong, could be a poll answer option.

 

[Bonfires Down]

Yes and no.

 

[MrS]

It's grotesque.

Looks even uglier in black, of that's even possible.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

its thicc

I like it thicc.

 

[Dev1lXYZ]

Both of the next gen consoles look terrible. The PS5 looks like the old Vaio team got ahold of it, and the Xbox Series X looks like a fog machine from Spirit Halloween.

 

[KURDISTAN YPG]

cant judge book by its cover, so for me that ugly bitch is day 1

 

[TintoConCasera]

Some people care about the design of their living rooms.

Of course it's not really important but... Come on, how have they messed up their dessign this much? The ps4 is simple, pretty, and like most electric shit you have in your living room, it's black, which makes it elegant and doesn't stand out.

 

[mortal]

I actually like the designs of both the PS5 and the Series X. Sony went for the exotic, while Microsoft went with the minimal.

 

[noise36]

Objectively the biggest and ugliest console ever made, 45% voting no is just Sonygaf.

Can you even imagine if MS put out something as big or poorly designed aesthetically? The two-tone is like the disgusting icing on the cake.

Full disclosure, have a jet engine pro and have already pre-ordered a PS5.

 

[_SAKY_]

Ugly? No, not at all. Way too large? Yeah.

 

[tillbot8]

This is only this site I've seen that there is a consensus that it is very ugly. I think it looks totally different and really awesome. I never cared that the Xbox one was big or the PS4 was small? Didn't bother me in the slightest?

 

[Sethbacca]

It's not a design i'd have picked, but I guess it's nice to have a departure from the standard box designs we're used to.

 

[CatLady]

I wish this poll was one where you could see publically who are all the people with bad taste voting NO

 

[Hunnybun]

The DE looks better, but I couldn't say it's actually a nice design.

Has to be one of the ugliest consoles they've made.

The Xbox consoles are ugly this generation, too, though. Maybe 'ugly' is in this year.

 

[veterangamerUK]

Needs extra poll options, disc version is ugly, digital edition not as its symmetrical

 

[MaestroMike]

reminds me of the portal gun

 

[Clear]

I'm kinda fond of Sony's wacky designs, especially those intended to be stood vertically.

 

[Verchod]

Looks excellent. Easily Best looking console ever. I hate black boxes, awful and lazy.

 

[diffusionx]

It’s the ugliest console I have ever seen. It‘s hideous. The side view of the console with that massive bulge and the two tone design offends my sensibilities. I have never before looked forward to a slim redesign before the first one came out, until now.
