The unique and futuristic look of the PlayStation 5 has sparked a huge debate, yet again offering Sony a massive amount of free publicity. The PS5 simply looks sexy \u2013 especially if it eventually also comes in black.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"c6701749\" class=\"ttcl_0 csc-default\">\n<div class=\"tx-nbc2fe-incontent-column\">\n<aside class=\"nbc-r-float nbc-r-float-hide\">\n<aside class=\"introa_whole\">\n<nav id=\"introa_content_1880722\" class=\"introa_content\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/nav>\n<\/aside>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">It has been a long wait, but Sony has finally delivered. It\u2019s reasonable enough to argue that very few, if none at all, of the many fan-made concept renders came close to what the PS5 actually looks like. In fact, it doesn\u2019t even resemble the devkit, although there is the hint of the Roman numeral V, for 5, if you look at the next-gen console head on from the front. The PS5 has a weird and wonderful design that few expected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"c6703377\" class=\"ttcl_0 csc-default\">\n<div class=\"tx-nbc2fe-incontent-column\">\n<aside class=\"nbc-r-float nbc-r-float-inline\">\n<div id=\"adngin-Sidebar_1-0\" class=\"insert_inpage\" data-google-query-id=\"CLvqlcDc4I0DFa1EwgUdAhog1w\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/22152718,1066427\/notebookcheck_sidebar_1_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"csc-textpic csc-textpic-center csc-textpic-below csc-textpic-equalheight\">\n<div class=\"csc-textpic-imagewrap\" data-csc-images=\"1\" data-csc-cols=\"1\">\n<div class=\"csc-textpic-center-outer\">\n<div class=\"csc-textpic-center-inner\">\n<figure class=\"csc-textpic-image csc-textpic-last\"><a title=\"Comments from fans and not fans.

It\u2019s certainly not going to get mistaken for a\u00a0fridge, but it might be cruelly compared with a router or even a toilet seat (although that latter accusation was more aimed at the\u00a0devkit). However, with well over 800,000 thumbs up on the\u00a0PS5 Hardware Reveal trailer\u00a0on YouTube compared to 31,000 thumbs down at the time of writing, it appears the majority of fans are\u00a0satisfied\u00a0with its futuristic look.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"c6703372\" class=\"ttcl_0 csc-default\">\n<div class=\"tx-nbc2fe-incontent-column\">\n<aside class=\"nbc-r-float nbc-r-float-inline\">\n<div id=\"adngin-Sidebar_3-0\" data-google-query-id=\"CL3qlcDc4I0DFa1EwgUdAhog1w\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/22152718,1066427\/notebookcheck_sidebar_3_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"csc-textpic csc-textpic-intext-right csc-textpic-equalheight\">\n<div class=\"csc-textpic-imagewrap\" data-csc-images=\"1\" data-csc-cols=\"1\">\n<figure class=\"csc-textpic-image csc-textpic-last\"><a title=\"(Image source: Reddit)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/fileadmin\/Notebooks\/News\/_nc3\/PS5_spiderman_4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-caption=\"(Image source: Reddit)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/fileadmin\/_processed_\/6\/a\/csm_PS5_spiderman_4_7e68d9fda2.jpg\" alt=\"(Image source: Reddit)\" width=\"592\" height=\"441\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"csc-textpic-text\">\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Instantly, it seems possible that this white PS5 console could be easily customized.

The surface of the PS5, if you look carefully enough, is decked out in a familiar pattern that will delight PlayStation fans. It\u2019s an impressive overall design achievement; and even if you hate it, the PS5&#8217;s design still elicited a strong opinion from you. It\u2019s not \u201cjust\u201d a box&#8230;it&#8217;s a statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"csc-textpic-imagewrap\" data-csc-images=\"1\" data-csc-cols=\"1\">\n<div class=\"csc-textpic-center-outer\">\n<div class=\"csc-textpic-center-inner\">\n<figure class=\"csc-textpic-image csc-textpic-last\"><a title=\"(Image source: NeoGAF)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/fileadmin\/Notebooks\/News\/_nc3\/ps5_close_up.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-caption=\"(Image source: NeoGAF)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/fileadmin\/_processed_\/b\/d\/csm_ps5_close_up_f79a3c35ea.jpg\" alt=\"(Image source: NeoGAF)\" width=\"649\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"csc-textpic-caption\">(Image source: NeoGAF)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"c6703373\" class=\"ttcl_0 csc-default\">\n<div class=\"tx-nbc2fe-incontent-column\">\n<aside class=\"nbc-r-float nbc-r-float-inline\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1414573626553-9\" class=\"insert_inpage\" data-google-query-id=\"CJyWlsDc4I0DFc1EwgUdgVg3BQ\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/1066427\/OL_MidMainFrame3_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"csc-textpic-text\">\n<p class=\"bodytext\">That design debate is growing too: The\u00a0Xbox Series X World Premiere\u00a0on YouTube has garnered 12.28 million views since December 2019. Not shabby at all\u2026but the PS5 Hardware Reveal trailer has already amassed 13.79 million views in just over a day! It\u2019s a huge PR win for Sony, and Microsoft will just have to accept that when it comes to design, the Xbox Series X has lost this round of the next-gen console clash. However, there is still the\u00a0performance, games, exclusive titles,\u00a0affordability, and other key factors to be considered. It&#8217;s far from over for the &#8220;fridge&#8221; just yet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"c6703374\" class=\"ttcl_0 csc-default\">\n<div class=\"csc-textpic csc-textpic-intext-right csc-textpic-equalheight\">\n<div class=\"csc-textpic-imagewrap\" data-csc-images=\"1\" data-csc-cols=\"1\">\n<figure class=\"csc-textpic-image csc-textpic-last\"><a title=\"(Image source: @PS5Only)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/fileadmin\/Notebooks\/News\/_nc3\/PS5_dubai.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-caption=\"(Image source: @PS5Only)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/fileadmin\/_processed_\/2\/9\/csm_PS5_dubai_2dbba52b9d.jpg\" alt=\"(Image source: @PS5Only)\" width=\"640\" height=\"433\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"csc-textpic-caption\">(Image source: @PS5Only)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"csc-textpic-text\">\n<p class=\"bodytext\">PlayStation fans needs need to be aware just how big the PS5 is. It\u2019s not a tiny beast that can be tucked away in the corner and forgotten about. It\u2019s huge. The exact measurements aren\u2019t available yet, but there have been attempts to show the relative size of the console, and it is definitely a substantial piece of hardware. So Sony made it\u00a0big\u00a0(need that cooling solution) and gave it white wings and blue LEDs \u2013 but who is not going to spot that? It seems to be all part of a marketing masterplan: Make it visible in stores, on the shelves, online, at a friend\u2019s house. It stands out. Whether standing up or on its side, the PS5 is not a shy console.<\/p>\n<div class=\"csc-textpic-text\">\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Design might not be the most important factor when it comes to consoles, but this is a win for\u00a0Sony and the PS5, hands-down. There\u2019s nothing particularly wrong with Microsoft\u2019s Xbox Series X; it has a minimalist charm to it and will suit those who like their hardware maintaining a low profile. But Sony has gone for a risky, sexy, and surprising approach for the PS5 design that is already\u00a0paying dividends\u00a0through fan approval.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"csc-textpic-imagewrap\" data-csc-images=\"1\" data-csc-cols=\"1\">\n<div class=\"csc-textpic-center-outer\">\n<div class=\"csc-textpic-center-inner\">\n<figure class=\"csc-textpic-image csc-textpic-last\"><a title=\"(Image source: Reddit)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/fileadmin\/Notebooks\/News\/_nc3\/PS5_walle_6.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-caption=\"(Image source: Reddit)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/fileadmin\/_processed_\/1\/3\/csm_PS5_walle_6_15a2b96b80.png\" alt=\"(Image source: Reddit)\" width=\"499\" height=\"593\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sony has revealed the PS5 design in all its glory and b [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":550,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[89],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-549","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ps4"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gamespot.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gamespot.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gamespot.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamespot.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamespot.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=549"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamespot.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":733,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamespot.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549\/revisions\/733"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamespot.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/550"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gamespot.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=549"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamespot.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=549"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamespot.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
