Lol so many Xbox fanboys here today trashing the console.

Im not one and IT IS by far the ugliest console of all time. Just compare it to

 

[Honjo]

When does it set sail?

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

It looks like someone melted it.

 

[Anki]

Somehow it remindes me of portal, and i love portal so its cool

 

[thief183]

....I like the controller.... but the console....maybe in person is different but right now I'd put it well hidden under the TV....

 

[Solarstrike]

 

[DigitalScrap]

Ugliest console ever.

The Vectrex will forever hold that title, but it definitely is not a looker.

 

[Krappadizzle]

This is how it looks horizontally. For those wondering.

 

[Lone Wolf]

Actual size comparison apparently

That’s huge if true

 

[noise36]

Ugly controller and giant ugly console.

Will still get one at some point as a sucker for good exclusives, but seriously wow.

 

[kraspkibble]

This is one of those rare occasions I think I like something then start to hate it. It looked kinda cool at first glance in the video but now I am hating it more every minute.

I prefer the simple design of the XSX.

 

[jackets with pockets]

No, it can be set horizontally.

You know ... it actually looks good on its side?

Ugliest console of my lifetime when standing.

I think it looks ugly horizontally. The vertical digital edition looks the best.

It's all they have, they know once they go on sale...the illusion disappears and it's back to losing.

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

Actually melted isn't right. It looks like the plastic has been warped by heat.

 

[Nankatsu]

Don't you see the vents?

Maybe let them breakdown the system before coming to that conclusion is my recommendation.

Well it's looks better horizontally than I thought it would.

I'm more of a fan of the digital one design , but no way in hell I'm going for the digital only model.

 

[TIMSTER_777]

Nice, polystation 5!!!

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

What will the price difference be between disc vs discless?

 

[ethomaz]

Actual size comparison apparently

If you assume the DualSense has 100mm in heigh.
The console is probably around 400mm in heigh.

PS4 Pro has 295mm in height in that pic.

 

[Breakage]

Actual size comparison apparently

The restrained design of the PS4 Pro makes it look newer than the PS5.
The bulge for the disc drive on the PS5 looks so last minute.

 

[Dodkrake]

Why the guy put the PS4 in a lower scale? Both controller have the same size while in the pic the DS4 is smaller.

the DS4 is lower in the picture, not smaller. Download it and overlap,

 

[Jigsaah]

It looks like shit. My wife's not gonna let me put it where I currently have the PS4 sitting.

Now is the time.

It's time you bring up the man-cave conversation.

 

[jts]

Very disappointing but might grow on me over time with more observation in other environments as well.

Wish Sony had gone with a more understated minimalistic look. Pure form to function instead of all the flair.

 

[Bryank75]

Reminded me of this and I was going to get one of these just for the design...

 

[kraspkibble]

And before anyone calls me an Xbox fanboy for not liking it. I don't even own an Xbox and have owned every PS since 1995.

People are allowed to criticize it. Doesn't make you a fanboy.

 

[Dodkrake]

If you assume the DualSense has 100mm in heigh.
The console is probably around 400mm in heigh.

PS4 Pro has 295mm in height in that pic.

Another one from the same dude

 

[Sacred]

It reminds me of what Sony tried to do to innovate the PS3 controller at the reveal and quickly scrapped it. I really would expect them to alter the wing design

 

[cerealbuster]

You know ... it actually looks good on its side?

Ugliest console of my lifetime when standing.

you mean the complete opposite I hope. Looks stupid horizontal but not bad standing

 

[MasterCornholio]

Actual size comparison apparently

Not exactly double the thickness of the Pro which is a good thing. But it seems pretty big to me. However I do like that it's a console form factor.

 

[tryDEATH]

Don't you see the vents?

Maybe let them breakdown the system before coming to that conclusion is my recommendation.

Something needs to disperse the air efficiently be it a big fan, vapor chamber or both. That box just doesn't seem designed with heat being a priority.

It the reason why Xbox went with function over form. Its a rectangle that was specifically designed to move air as efficiently as possible with a big intake fan on top to push air through the whole system and every part in the system maximizing cooling.

 

[LOLCats]

wow, thats some architecture there. i guess it doesnt matter as long as it comes in black, it sits in cabinet, so you can barely see it. but fuck that is ugly.

 

[SirTerry-T]

What the heck has happened to Sony's industrial design in recent years?
The PS2 Slim seems soooo long ago.
I mean, there's some nice elegant shapes to be seen in these pics but the whole thing looks like it's been designed by the new guy at the design house who felt the need to use every single modelling tool when coming up with the design.
Each to their own though, etc...

 

[Dodkrake]

lol that abomination looks ever taller than the Series X.

10cm taller

Well once Sony gives us a breakdown you will have a better idea of how the cooling works in the system.

I'm not worried about a RROD situation if that's what you're suggesting.

 

[Hostile_18]

It looks so much better vertical but its not really practical for most peoples setup.

The retailers are going to be pissed at an all digital edition on launch. Goodbye Gamestop.

 

[Alebrije]

Its great ...looks fituristic and not just a traditinal box. Does not looks like a console..

 

[jufonuk]

It reminds me of something else. Maybe like an external hard drive. I don’t know.

 

[Quantum253]

What will the price difference be between disc vs discless?

I'm thinking no more or less than $50.00 difference. But of course that's only my opinion.

 

[Damigos]

That console looks sexy as f

 

[Jigga117]

So if the scaling is right

 

[Birdo]

Some guy on twitter already has one.

 

[Visualift]

What a bunch of pretentious divas. Buy the console you want to play games on.

 

[HeadsUp7Up]

This thing is dope!!! I’m getting the digital edition with all the accessories. Games didn’t look like anything really to me though.

Edit: Still have to wait on confirmation that it doesn’t come with a jet engine.

 

[TigerKnee]

Loved the controller. The console just looks weird to me...

 

[Gravemind]

Because the pic shows it in a bigger scale than PS4 lol

Dont think so. That thing looks huge. Look at the controller. It's almost 4 times as tall as the controller is.

 

[Morning Star]

It looks like a Mirror's Edge skyscraper

 

[MadViking]

Wow, it looks really huge compared to the Pro. I wonder how it looks next to XSX.

 

[Abear21]

The thin plastic worries me of vibrating, getting dirty, or breaking, and I take care of my stuff but it just looks a bit fragile.

We all know eventually they will release all black and special editions so that’s a silver lining.

Looks better and like it’s designed to be operated vertically, interesting Microsoft went the same direction, makes me wonder if heat will be an issue

 

[Bankai]

Fantastic design! First thought: LOOK, IT IS ACTUALLY A CONSOLE!

 

[MightySquirrel]

It certainly looks more interesting than xbox.

 

[Punished Miku]

you mean the complete opposite I hope. Looks stupid horizontal but not bad standing

Looks level against the straight line on the ground. Balances it out.
