Looks pretty cool.

 

[Huggers]

pretty slick looking. You don't want anything to busy but your don't want it bland either. I'd say they struck a good balance

 

[TheMink]

I thought the camera was going to be way bigger haha

 

[Snkfanatic]

I like it a lot.

 

[jimmythepage]

[ i]xbone[ /i]

But I like more to think it's 2 PS2 ducktaped, anyway it's a bit too much flat for my tastes, but less ugly than the MS one.

 

[IonicSnake]

Wait, 2.8kg? That's it? So it's about as heavy (or light) as my gaming laptop, how the hell did they manage that?

Xbox One but in Italics.

You owe me a keyboard you son of a bitch

HAHHAHHHAHAHAHA

 

[indigo-cyclops]

I've come to terms with it, and it reminds me a lot of the PS2, which I love. I'm fine with it at this point.

Take a decent gaming laptop, remove the screen, remove the heavy battery, and you're not far off a console.

now japan can't complain like the ps3.

 

[UrbanRats]

Can someone explain to me how they built a more powerful console with a smaller box and fewer ventilation? I hope it won't overheat, but otherwise, how the XBone so huge?

 

[Why would you do that?]

Wait, 2.8kg? That's it? So it's about as heavy (or light) as my gaming laptop, how the hell did they manage that?

Wow, it's smaller and lighter than the PS3 Slim (@ 3.2kg)? I'm impressed, simply because it seemingly took Sony a long time to make the PS3 small...

 

[Sickbean]

It's more me being pedantic about a shitty looking loungeroom - don't design a nice box that I HAVE to have a cable hanging out the front from.
I admit the PS Eye camera on the PS3 uses normal USB - on the PS4 it's proprietary and goes in the back so that's 1 free slot but still - some people do hook up HDD's. or in my case, I like a charge cable tucked neatly away so I can pull it from behind a TV or something.

Only now it needs to hang out the front like a cigarette out of a hobos mouth. Ruining my pretty console.

I agree with this. #teampedantry

 

[sammex]

Standing vertical with that blue light on and I get PS2 nostalgia feels big time. It looks sleek.

If there's really no external power brick then that is some impressive engineering.

Well, Sony is a company which have been in the engineering business for quite a while. Don't forget that.

 

[TheChaos0]

Feels like PS2, I like it.

 

[M°°nblade]

No matter how long I keep staring at it, don't like it. Not the front, not the backside. The LED is 'kitch' and reminds me of knightrider.
The assymetric cross is a nice concept but the angle ruins everything.

I would have prefered something like this zalman HTPC case:

Compared to the launch PS3 with all that nice chrome, the PS4 looks like a budget case.

 

[The Technomancer]

How are people thinking this looks the same as the Xbox one? It's not even close. Yeah it's a back box, like just about every other piece of entertainment hardware, but the actual design is completely different.

The three most visually salient features to me are the general proportions, the two-tone design, and the off-center vertical division. All of those it seems to share with the XB1

 

[The Jason]

Guys

The edges are all shaped like a 4

I agree. It's weird it doesn't have rear USBs. PS3's lack of them always irritated me.

 

[ChryZ]

It looks very scifi and slick.

 

[Wind's Howling]

I do not care what it looks like I am just glad the damn thing is not glossy like the original PS3.

 

[tapedeck]

When they unveiled it at the conference I literally said Damn outloud. That thing is sexy as all fuck.

 

[Yazuka]

Have they said anything about how long the PS4 itself will be? In inches or cm?
Just curious.

 

[Bigmac1910]

I was worried but it looks great, and is smaller than Xbone.

 

[Az]

At first I was like WTF is this but when you lay it down it's kind of slick.

 

[-Winnie-]

 

[ElTorro]

I was like "meh" but the design is starting to grow on me.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Not really feeling it, neither Sony or Microsoft's

 

[robertsan21]

Do we have an official release date?

 

[Spades]

I love how everyone who hated the Xbox One design is now saying that they love the PS4 design.

 

[Forkball]

If the Xbone is a VCR, this is a circa 1999 DVD player.

 

[20cent]

I love how everyone who hated the Xbox One design is now saying that they love the PS4 design.

if you can't tell why, then you need a Xbox One.

 

[GetemMa]

its fine.

I neither love it nor hate it. Its a box. I couldn't possibly give any more shits.

 

[BradleyLove]

I love how everyone who hated the Xbox One design is now saying that they love the PS4 design.

I agree. It's not like they're two completely different designs...

Oh, wait.

I always find these persecution complex comments amusing. I'd be surprised if you can dig up even just five unique examples.

Yes: http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/release/pdf/130611a_e.pdf

The Xbone is about 65% bigger in volume.

 

[Majine]

It blows my mind that it's this small.

 

[Zok310]

Cool how they brought the designer out and gave him props. Love that.

 

[SGRU]

Any pictures of the inside?

 

[t0rment]

It's beautiful, i love it.

 

[Out of Working Order]

It looks like a architect designed it. I love it.

 

[KmA]

Every iteration of the PS3 has been so ugly. I'm glad this actually looks good.

 

[Bgamer90]

I don't like the look of the PS4 at all. Looks like a concept design instead of an official Sony product.

Feel the same way about the controller.

 

[Tau]

Love the design and the sharpness to it. My initial thought was not everyone is going to like the design but it will grow on people that may dislike it at first sight.

 

[GYNGA]

It's not like PS4 looks much better or something, but at least it looks interesting. Xbone is just bland.

 

[byropoint]

I love Sonys design language, simple, monolithic and industrial. They did a great job I think, same with their latest xperia phone flagships, beautiful stuff.

 

[sacrificengineer]

Damn, I want to know PS4 production designer's name. I didn't understand how House called him.
