It is Ugly. Usually I stare at my TV screen when I'm playing games though...

 

[WolfForager]

Seriously, how the hell are people saying this looks like the Xbone? And as far as copying goes, do you honestly think they made this in a month since the Xbone unveiling? SMFH.

 

[Concept17]

My biggest complaint with the Xbone was that it was TOO simple. Simplicity is great, but the box has zero personality, and it just needed one little aspect of recognition to it.

So Sony made a box with a slant. lol

I like it for the most part, and I think sitting in any setup it'll be easily recognizable. Also the small size and it being more slender is a huge plus. The Xbone is so damn huge and boxy.

 

[paperheart]

I love it.

I just wish that strip of gloss wasn't there, though. Making it all matte would have been soo nice.

 

[Kung Fu Grip]

Somebody post pics of both XB1 and PS4 side by side for maximum laughter.

 

[Ithil]

I like how somehow they both managed to make consoles that look pretty much the same.

 

[patrickthehedgehog]

I was walking past my *mint in box PS2 slim part 2* and noticed some design similarites! Cute!

Aww, and the original Playstation logo is featured so prominently!

 

[Confidence Man]

Looks slick. The angles and asymmetry are what make the design. This only resembles the XB1 on a superficial level.

 

[vio]

It is like nothing else out there. Although there must be some building that looks same.
It is unique looking and i think that is very important. I am not sure if camera is included.

 

[Igo]

Not really sure what I think of it right now. I like it more than the One but the design doesn't impress me at all. In fact, the incongruity between the console, controller and camera is really bothering me.

 

[msdstc]

So small compared to xbox.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

It's sexy as hell. Not sure what some of you guys are smoking.

 

[TheD]

Looks better than the Xbone (but that is not saying much).

 

[ReconPeon]

Seriously, how the hell are people saying this looks like the Xbone? And as far as copying goes, do you honestly think they made this in a month since the Xbone unveiling? SMFH.

I don't think anyone is saying that they copied the Xbox one, but by some weird coincidence they did manage to make it look pretty damn similar.

 

[NIGHT-]

I wonder how hot this will run. Kinda glad I decided to hold out on purchasing it at launch. Wanna make sure all the issues are lined out before purchasing

It's sexy as hell. Not sure what some of you guys are smoking.

Not really sure how anyone could call this design sexy.. But okay.

 

[sholvaco]

So, it's confirmed, it comes with a 500GB HDD, Headset and an HDMI cable (finally). PS Camera is sold separately. http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/release/pdf/130611a_e.pdf

275×53×305 mm (width × height × length)

I think this is actually a slightly bigger footprint than xbone, just that it's long rather than wide.

Glad too see all the previously announced specs still stand. With xbone specs being so pedestrian Sony could've easily afforded a slight downclock or roll back to 4 gigs of ram and still be ahead.

 

[Goodacre0081]

Its not a button, its a temperature indicator I believe.

I think your waffle iron looks like a video game console.

 

[AdlaiSeven]

Disappointed with both the PS4 and XB1 designs.

At least the XB1 look like it belongs in my media rack. PS4 looks like a cheap toy console from the 90's.

Both need to hire an Apple industrial designer stat.

 

[Kvik]

How am I going to take this infernal contraption apart to upgrade the hard disk?

 

[GoofsterStud]

I like that it's smaller. The design is nothing to get excited about. Seriously sick of this two tone crap!

Give me a white console for my living room and a black one for my bedroom.

Solid Colors...please!

 

[Y2Kev]

So it has internal PSU? And xbone has external PSU?

 

[sholvaco]

The HDD could still be accessible from bellow.

 

[Danielsan]

So it has internal PSU? And xbone has external PSU?

It's Sony, so probably internal.

 

[Lord Error]

A true successor to PS2 design. I love it, and will be keeping it vertical with no stand, just like I did with PS2.

 

[The Technomancer]

So it has internal PSU? And xbone has external PSU?

If its internal and more powerful then the XBone then it really makes me wonder what was going on with MS's hardware engineers

 

[Zee-Row]

Looks more like a slanted PS2 to me.

 

[DJ88]

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.

 

[Alucrid]

If its internal and more powerful then the XBone then it really makes me wonder what was going on with MS's hardware engineers

look, you don't get how much room it takes to store the cloud

I don't see an Analog-AV out... what gives?

So sexy.
I love that retro look, love the holes for vents and ports.

Reminds me of my old AKAI VCR

 

[GoofsterStud]

Onboard Esram/DDR3 Hybrid...I've said it was the wrong move since day one. The chip will run hot, give up gpu space, and have a higher fail rate. >.> Was fairly predictable.

 

[Y2Kev]

ESRAM = way more transistors?

 

[Kung Fu Grip]

PS1PS2PS3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>PS4.

 

[Badgerst3]

Difference in price points?

Can't be just the camera.

 

[ironcreed]

Yeah, I'm getting really strong PS2 vibes off of it as well. Just modernized. Dat black and blue is back, baby.

 

[hteng]

looks like an edgy xbone, wtf sony. but i guess it at least doesn't look like a bloody VCR

 

[Caramello]

Love it!

 

[Veronica]

Basically this and Xbox One look almost identical in design, so I really don't get people's reactions about oh so sexy or whatever. I'd say the XB1 actually looks better, imho.

 

[Anbec7]

Soo uhm question

The ps4 is not gonna be retro with ps3 games right??
I don´t remember if this was said in the conference....

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Eww. I don't like the stock headset. I hope other headsets like Vita headset or any phone headset will work.

What is the EXT for? Video output?!

 

[Error Macro]

I think I like it.

It looks like it's from the future, as envisioned in 1982:

 

[Saberus]

I love it. I don't get why people like PS2 design.

Looks amazing!!

 

[Paper Sparrow]

Blah, don't like it, but at least it's a reasonable size.

 

[3rdamention]

It really has a PS2 vibe to it.

I like it.

First thing I said, I love it

 

[Phanta]

I like the the design is ok. Not flashy but I can't call it ugly. Looks sleek and will probably look better in person.

Not that the design matters all that much to me though especially seeing how it's small and seemingly light.

 

[gate stormer]

Reminds me of my old AKAI VCR

[la flama blanca]

Not a fan of either XBONE of PS4 designs

 

[xxracerxx]

Basically this and Xbox One look almost identical in design, so I really don't get people's reactions about oh so sexy or whatever. I'd say the XB1 actually looks better, imho.

Size and it isn't a straight up box.

 

[Kuroudu]

Like the design, not bad at all!

 

[MCN]

Where's the circular vent that was in the preview video?

 

[Spongebob]

Looks alright.
