How would you feel if the PS5 dev kit design was actually the PS5 design?

It reminds me of something from the 80's. It just needs that vinyl fake-wood finish with chrome highlights to finish it off.

Hopefully the consumer released console has a more toned-down look to it.

I think you're confusing the 70's with the 80's.  The 70's was the era of wood finish on electronics.  In the 80's is when we started shifting to sleeker all plastic designs.

You are right of course.
Although the first picture, the Atari 2600 was popular all through the 80's and even got relaunched in the 80's for more budget-sensitive buyers before it got discontinued in 1992.
Actually grew up with one in my household.

It reminds me of GCN actually. More the controller than the console, but both seemed too much like a child's toy to see mass appeal as far as I was concerned, even though I didn't mind it since it was unique.

The PS5 dev kit looks kind of like a child's toy, or at least has that vibe to me. I would expect the closest consumer type design from PS to look something like this instead, which I wouldn't mind at all. The digital display is a bit much, but otherwise it's close to something I could actually see sitting on store shelves.

And no, a PS4/Pro design with a 5 stack for PS5 is absolutely unacceptable. Pro is borderline with 3 already.

The Dev kit design is shaped like a "V". - Which is the Roman numeral for "5". - Aka. Playstation 5.
I don't get the connection with the GCN...
