No I’m not changing my stance. Kirby007s comment to me makes this all one juicy conspiracy theory. The overheating rumours, the lack of shipments at launch, the scrambling after seeing the practicality of the tower design for venting heat. Because I don’t think a outer redesign wouldn’t be TOO much work if the specs are the same. The Xbox rumor you mentioned (it was last year before the reveal) I’m chalking it up to them preserving their big reveal. 

So you still think Sony reveal of PS5 was a reaction to XSX, yes or no?

Tower design is something know for over 3 decades so why would Sony be surprised by it? Don't forget PS2, PS3 and PS4 were designed to stand as "tower" (not square though) so that isn't new for Sony even if their consoles were also designed to be sitted (still for the 3 consoles the preferential position was standing, different than Xbox that had some little harder use when using in standing position due to DVD insertition if I'm not wrong).

Can PS5 be redesigned and may overheat be an issue? It could, but chances are so minimal that even you admitted it is conspiracy theory.

I am entitled to this because Sony isn’t being transparent and these rumours are all we have. You gotta admit MS has been focused and transparent while Sony being all too coy with their fans. 

You have no entitlement, we both know you are just taking whatever you can to throw some jabs at Sony while you can and before the gen start and we need to talk numbers and all.

Granted I concede they are master of their craft in software, so there’s no real need to get defensive, because it’s just hardware rumours. That said I’ll ask you again: don’t you want Sony to make a truly unique design for PS5?
Rumours are just rumours, and since they have 0 evidence and stand on lousy ground it can also be called FUD when it is used to spread ill against something or raise unecessary concern thus why it need to be take down.

PS5 Devkit have a truly unique look and I'm one of the few that like it, but in the end I don't really care about how the console look after I install it.

The PS5 spec reveal wasn’t a reaction, MS fortunately happened to go first. But cmon, literally the next day? That’s pure theatre MS squeezed theirs off first. 

You arguing semantics with past consoles being able to stand up. That’s not a “tower” setup. PCs are tower setup....boring and bulky stand up rectangles :). For consoles it’s clearly a departure from tradition, and doubles as being extremely practical for heat venting. The PS5 design should be unique so at least you guys can be as excited as I was in December rather then being obligated to explain how it’s totally normal they are sharing a core look. 

I told you, I all ready know PS will sell more consoles. Still looking forward to seeing the weekly numbers, but I’m all about the Xbox ecosystem going forward. Pre-moved goal posts ;) End of day these rumours don’t help the silence.
