Do you like the PS5 console design?

I don't have a problem with console size personally; I never had an issue with the original Xbox or fat PS3 being bulky.

I admit, neither a PS5 nor a Series X are going to fit into my current TV cabinet, as it has just enough space for a Wii, a PS3, a 360, and a Wii U to fit comfortably side by side, and while the Wii U has been packed away now, that's obviously not enough free space for one of these beasts.

But heck, if I end up getting one I'll work something out; probably just plonk it on the floor next to the cabinet, may not look neat but who cares, I've never been a stickler for everything to look super organised. (Despite having clinical OCD, which unlike what the media portrays often has nothing to do with wanting things tidy)

While I find it interesting from a design point of view, size just isn't really a factor for me and certainly doesn't make a console less appealing.

Me either, though in the rare instance like XB1, that was a problem overall as far as I was concerned. At least with the other bigger bulkier consoles, you can tell they tried to make them as small as possible for the most part, while also trying to make them look as appealing as possible to their target consumer. While PS5 looks cool, I think it's just ok because it's way too over the top. The XB1 had way too much empty space inside and seriously resembled a boxy VCR player. Now while it's pretty clear in terms of the 360 RROD as to why MS did that, to those who look beyond the visuals, it still doesn't give them the excuse of making it look like something that never really was cool or intriguing to begin with, even back then. At the very least, the XB1 should have looked as visually appealing as possible if it was going to be that big and bulky. PS5 has that sleek curved wow factor, much like the 360 had, minus the RROD hopefully, which is why it will get away with being as big as it seems to be.
