The PS5 is ugly only in the same manner that some of these buildings, like the 'EGG' Gherkin building in London, England are.

See here's the thing. The biggest reason why some of these are so hideous, is because they don't fit what's expected. They don't fit the typical design and 'theme' of London or England.

However, if instead of building these in London, if they were built in Dubai let's say, they would fit in and wouldn't be near the eyesore. Not that it would make them beautiful buildings, but they wouldn't seem near as ugly because they would better fit their surroundings, since in Dubai kinda anything goes.

The reason the PS5 comes off as ugly to many who think it is, is because it doesn't fit the typical console mold. XBSS and XBSX still do, which is why they are seen by some as decent if not great looking consoles, because they are simply what you would expect.

Dubai, the architecture and urban planning anyway, is an eyesore all the same though.

The main core architecture is fine. I'd argue the main theme is worthy, but because at some point they decided to branch out and be more diverse with their buildings, very diverse, its really started to make the place much less attractive.

Some really like it though. To each their own.
