Current Events > I hate and love the visual design of both the PS5 and Series X

(+) Yeah! (+)

The PS5:
It's like a weird pseudo-futuristic thing obelisk with no straight edges in pseudo-futuristic white and black

The Series X:
It looks like a goddamn fridge-inspired techno prison for ants

But like I love the fact that they're so fuckin weird looking

Like we're living in a cartoon. What joy and fun

I give them both props for ditching the VCR look and going with interesting designs.

I find it funny that the thinner style of PS5 made me think that it is actually smaller than the Xbox Series X.

But nope.

They're both huge boys. One tall and one fat.

The Xbox X looks fine.

The PS5 legitimately looks like a gag background prop from BTF2.

I don't get the hate for the Series X design.

It literally looks like a gaming PC

It's a weird shape for a console. It's literally the size of two Gamecubes stacked together. The fatness of it makes it look bigger than it actually is.

But I think it's easier to get used to. Minimalist stuff tends to age better IMO and people get used to how new shapes look once it's out in the wild.

Both consoles were in a weird spot since they clearly had some large parts to cram on top of each other.

I kind of wish that black part in the middle of the PS5 was ridged like the PS2. Idk why.
