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

I've never cared about the way a console looks. It's about as important as controllers are (which is way more important to people than I realized). As long as a controller is good enough I'm ok with it. Although I hate the way I can't just set my PS4 controller down without hitting the trigger on accident. Causes HuluNetflix to fast forwardrewind.

That is one thing I don't like on DS4, the triggers self trigger all the time.

Nope. He didn't say compared to equivalent PC. He just said available to PC. Because you could either make a barebone PC with only the SSD being good, or other components being good and throwing a very old HDD on it, both could cost 500 so it would be pointless comparison.

This seems to be the case, but even if he did, the point would be comparable overall based on the price. To make a barebones PC with weak parts that has an SSD as capable as PS5's is supposed to be, wouldn't be equivalent, not even close. The PS5 won't be super weak hardware with a top of the line SSD.

Blame Mark Cerny. He didn't make any caveats, so you have to take his word on what was said.

I could have the wrong depth perception or whatever, but now that I'm actually interested in getting one of these (upon the discovery of good third party controllers that are more similar to Switch/360 pro controllers), it simply looks too big for my liking. I guess I'm spoiled with Nintendo sizing. NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, and Switch were always nice and small feeling. Xbox, 360, Xbox one, Ps3, and Ps4 just seem massive and inconvenient. I like things to look clean and sleek. If they were to take the PS5 sizing back down to the PS2 I would be a lot more likely to buy. And I know this is probably impossible because of the race to have the best visuals and random features of the day.

If I could have a Nintendo device this size and priced $200 more, I would prefer they stick to the smaller form factor, be less powerful, and less expensive. I am really interested in ps5, but the size is very important to me.

Except in N64 and GC when you account for the power brick they were comparable (or bigger) than the Playstations, on WiiU besides power supply you also had the Pad, so not much smaller than PS4. Wii and Switch would be the ones that can be said to really be smaller.

Anyway all PS consoles (and Nintendo for the matter) fits on a regular shelf on spaces that are calculate for VCRs or even bigger stuff, rarely you'll have your furniture being made of all very small spaces.
