Yep. That's what happens at the launch of these things, people either spread rumors or are make proclamations with little understanding of what is what. Can't always fault them, but they definitely have to be educated on it. |
Does the venting work as well when it is in the horizontal position? i don't have room to stand one up in my entertainment center. Placing the Switch behind the TV with younger kids was an utter disaster that ended with me having to buy a 3rd party dock (kept getting knocked off the back of the entertainment center as they were pulling the Switch out and putting it away).
Not a fan of the looks, but ultimately how it performs is what counts. I would prefer something black just so it matched my other components under the TV. Ascetics do matter more though to some people. Look how many people ragged on the gamecube for looking like a kids lunchbox and thought it was therefore a kiddy console (I know that wasn't the only issue the gamecube had).
So, in summary...the PS5 looks like a big vagina...ok, well who out there doesn't like one of those?
Can we get the future PS5 Pro version at any angle?

You can have her at all your pleasure. She's 82 and lives in a nursing home. Haha. I have hated that bitch since I was 8 years old. haha.
It looks like an alienware knock off from a suspect amazon seller. Hideous.

Honestly, I would be kind of embarrassed to have non gamer company over with that thing sitting beside the tv in my living room. Think I may wait on the PS5 Slim or PS5 Pro, hoping for a better design one on of those. Was already planning to buy XSX first due to the expected early gen exclusive lineup on XSX being more to my taste, and seeing the PS5 design just solidified that decision. |
Well the PS5 should at least be an interesting centerpiece and conversation starter for guests.. rather than a standard black box in every living-room :P
Design is the least important thing for me in a console.


the question is suppose i dont keep it in a locked drawer and put it besides my pc would i be able to put my glass of beer on it without it sliding off

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
Not sure which design I like more out of PS5 and XSX.
PS5 is sleeker and more idiosyncratic, but XSX's formidible dark monolith is pretty badass. Both are at least interesting.
Still reckon both companies peaked in terms of design in the 7th gen, but these are both a step up from their current gen iterations in my book.
