Going the dreamcast in Japan route

But with the Trenton!

The only question is: Why not?

 

[Rafy]

love it, much better that the black image of the console on black background printed on a black box (xbone). Microsoft should have made the box color green so the (green/silver) logo blends in more while the console pops.

 

[birthbysleep]

Anyone want to try to photoshop a white version?

 

[elfinke]

The only question is: Why not?

Aside from the sawtooth edges that will cut my fingers as I open it (I kid), I kinda want that.

 

[The Jason]

I like the bottom corner that says "Black | 500gb"

Implies white at some point?!

Spoiler

Probably not

There will be other colors eventually. White is always popular in Japan.

Box looks cool to me.

 

[Synless]

Sony hasn't had a good looking box since the PS2, now that was a box that screamed "buy me!!"

 

[Bad_Boy]

Holy shit it is small. I wonder if the box is similarly tiny. Saw this on reddit:

no way. wow.

 

[Betta Lines]

Anyone want to try to photoshop a white version?

My poor attempt:

 

[LyleLanley]

My poor attempt:

I'm not a huge fan of the PS4 design but it looks much nicer to me in white.

 

[Synless]

My poor attempt:

That looks sexy!

 

[Tom Brohanks]

Pearl white PS4 would be hot

 

[UFRA]

What should a box do to scream next-gen?

Should just have "GDDR5" all over it. EVERYWHERE.

 

[sholvaco]

My poor attempt:

Maybe keep the sandwiched part black but other than that: do want!

 

[Apath]

The white does look better, but it doesn't blend in as well with my entertainment center. That's probably the main reason why the consoles are usually black by default.

 

[Sickboy007]

My poor attempt:

That does look great.

 

[The Jason]

My poor attempt:

Someone add a blue strip down the middle

so sexy

 

[Canon]

It looks boring, as do the box arts for games. Sony isn't very good at design lately, let's be real. But I'll still be buying one.

 

[6.8]

Meh. I cancelled my pre-order. Going to wait for a better box.

 

[AppleSmack]

The Xbone box looks dark and grim, like the console itself.

 

[Odrion]

When I see these two boxes all I can think of is:

"Submit yourselves to my always online DRM infrastructure! To my exploitative policies! This is the future, this is inevitable!"

"~Bright skies! Sunny days ahead~"

That just like your opinion, man.

I like the Vita design, the PS4 and the box designs. The only thing I hate visually is the DualShock 4. So ugly.

 

[PSYGN]

Someone add a blue strip down the middle

so sexy

It might look off but it's center aligned.

 

[Gintoki313]

My poor attempt:

That looks absolutely amazing. I need a white PS4 now

 

[The Jason]

It might look off but it's center aligned.

Beautiful

 

[PapaJustify]

That looks absolutely amazing. I need a white PS4 now

Let's make a Twitter petition: #PS4White

 

[PrinceKee]

I like the PS4's blue led down the middle when it's on. Does the Xbox One not have any led's lit up when it's turned on? I hate they took the color out of the Xbox logo on the console, box, and controller....

 

[jblank83]

I honestly think it looks terrible. It looks like an eraser, like half an X. It's asymmetrical in a completely symmetrical way, which seems the worst way to design in my opinion, because it grabs your attention and does nothing with it. The big, garish, horizontal groove doesn't do anything for me either.

As much as I dislike the X1, at least it's unpretentious. It's just a big rectangular box with a little grill on it for some visual flair.

Neither is really interesting though. IMO, Wii U is better than both from a visual design perspective. Again, just a little box with nicely curved sides, nicely designed and placed buttons. Not ostentatious, not garish, not ugly, just simple and effective.

 

[Wynnebeck]

It might look off but it's center aligned.

LOL! Got em coach!

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

The small circular logo on the right side lights up (in white).

 

[UrbanRats]

My poor attempt:

I LOVE it!
Now i really hope they do a white version.
Maybe i'll wait for that one

 

[jiggle]

i want the white one!
with red led and fully glossy

 

[Troll]

Can someone else photoshop the console in pink? Here's my attempt.

 

[Forceatowulf]

My poor attempt:

Wow. PS4 looks proper as fuck in white. Damn.

Almost makes me want to hold off my pre-order for a white version to be announced... almost.

 

[RiverBed]

Edited:

And what I see:

 

[Killthee]

My poor attempt:

That looks a lot better. Thanks, now I want a white version.... >_<

And what I see:

I'm still disappointed about that and I have Plus.

 

[Slayer-33]

White looks more futuristic

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

It might look off but it's center aligned.

.


EDIT: Dammit, Bladeoftheimmortal!

 

[Anticitizen One]

How comes the box nor the console actually says "Playstation"? I hate is lazy wannabe hip acronym bullshit

 

[Loakum]

Has anyone seen where the disc goes? There's no front slot... at all.

yes there is. look.

 

[PseudoKirby]

Holy shit it is small. I wonder if the box is similarly tiny. Saw this on reddit:

This is bullshit they made the 360 look smaller and REALLY made the PS4 look smaller, just to make the XBO look bigger.

 

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

My poor attempt:

I do hope this becomes a reality.

 

[ReDelicious]

Excuse the botched job, especially with the controller, but I wouldn't mind seeing this on the shelves.

 

[Parakeetman]

for comparison the Xbone Box:

I think the PS4 box is great mainly because you dont have to squint to see the actual product.

Black on black? Oh yeah great design choice there.

 

[Loakum]

 

[strata8]

This is bullshit they made the 360 look smaller and REALLY made the PS4 look smaller, just to make the XBO look bigger.

Nope. I was the one who made that image, and while the Xbox One is too large in that version all of the other consoles are 100% correct.

 

[Alpende]

I like the Xbone box more but I don't like the way the put two pictures of the console on it.

 

[Airgetlam]

I like the Xbone box more but I don't like the way the put two pictures of the console on it.

I think that other one above the console is the Kinect.

 

[artist]

I like the Xbone box more but I don't like the way the put two pictures of the console on it.

haha. :lol

 

[Hattori]

ok I guess the box is one thing Xbone beats the PS4 in xD

damn that white PS4 looks really good
