PS4 Slim has black colour as default though. I think white version is pretty rare. Which is a shame as it looks really better in white. I wish I could find it in white. |
MS wanted as much change as possible from XB1, and it followed their trend of launching opposite colors from OG to slim with the 360. The 360 also launched with white and it did just fine. I'd guess the shorter duration of black OG 360's probably sold really well so they went with black as their main color for 360 slim, not to mention the glossy black with chrome accents design looked ballin on PS3 so why not on 360?
PS4 has followed a fairly strict rule this gen of "if it's not broke, don't fix it" and so the design and color of the hardware casings of all models has stayed quite similar with minor changes. This is most likely why they stuck with black as their main model color. PS wanted change with PS3 and so they did the same thing MS did this gen for the same reasons, except for that PS3 was already offered in 3 widely acceptable colors, so other than launching a pink PS3 Slim, it's not as easy to point out a color change with it.
