It's way too big. It's nice and artsy but is that what you really want in a console?
I really love the Xbox one X design and happy with what Microsoft did with XSX; functionality to have the best cooling solution.

The real question about the PS5 is will it be quiet?

Also, we really need to ask ourselves which next-gen console looks more like a Wifi router? My current router is the box look of the XSX. The next-gen design was inspired by Router's design it seems.

Its more of a form factor and form and function. Running the GPU at such high clocks will need a hefty cooling solution. Yet, they wanted to keep the formfactfor so that it can work just as well in an entertainment stack. So they had to go bigger (in this call taller) to accommodate the larger cooler and fan. Xbox Series X is stackable sideways but isn't designed really designed to.

In the end its a box, so I don't really care as long as its form doesn't compromise the function.
