Do you like the PS5 console design?

Hands are symmetrical so symmetrical controls aren`t really a problem.

Yeah but when playing my left thumb is gonna be on the movement stick pretty much permanently while my right thumb will spend a lot of its time on the face buttons, so the way each thumb is used in games isn't symmetrical.

At the end of the day its really just a matter of preference.

Sure thing it is a matter of preference, and that is what make it ridiculous that after 4 gens that are still people demanding to change DS controller (don't remember seeing people this vocal to change Xbox controller to look like DS). Even more when some companies offer a xbox layout for PS so whoever minority likes it on PS can buy it.

Both systems are ugly, but its clear that AMD chips have problems with heat so both MS and Sony are doing what they can. This has been an issue for AMD for a long time too, to get similar performance, their chips often run hotter than Nvidia designs.

Bold claim.

Mark Cerny made it sure to mention they didn`t do a good job with prior PS cooling and noise. So I would imagine PS5 is a lot better.

PS4 certainly could have used a larger fan for the first couple of years anyway. It may have been able to get away with just that and been reasonably quiet. A longer and narrower heat sink with a curved indentation for a larger fan would have helped, along with making the outer shell a little larger overall for an even bigger fan, while also keeping the look they were going for.

3.5" internal HDD would have been much nicer and would have also fit if they had increased the fan and outer shell size a bit for PS4. Looks as though any extra cheap mass storage space will have to be external drives of some sort for PS5. My cabinet shelves will probably be just big enough to fit a PS5 horizontally, but an external drive won't fit unless it's under or on top of the console.

I think the PS5 design is really cool, different, and unique to consoles, though too modern and artsy, so I prefer my matte black PS4 1200 model. The XB1 was way to boring and plain, and while the XBSX is as well, it's PC tower style is interesting and mostly unique to consoles. The XB1S, XB1X, PS4 and Pro sat nicely in the middle, being fairly simple, more traditional, and tasteful.

I'd guess the PS5 fan is at the top where the vents are and I'd bet it's as big as the PS3 fan if not bigger. The console has plenty of space inside of it. With only NVMe SSD internal storage expansion, it's not like there's a 2.5" or 3.5" HDD taking up space in there. The bigger the fan, the slower it'll have to spin for the most part. As long as the fan is made of a reasonable quality, it's likely to be acceptably quiet.

Fan noise on PS4 is certainly noticeable, but in the end when I'm playing even on low volume it hardly is noticed. But if PS5 doesn't do a good job on the cooling then it would have been bad to mention it on the presentation since no one asked.

About the console being to big, I'll wait for it to be dissassembled and see if there is just to much empty space of if the cooler is to big. I don't think neither is going to be the case, I think it will be a case of big chip.
