It's not my opinion. The stand on a console is useless. It should have smaller footprint and have both positions possible without a hunk of plastic.
What does that have to do with your tv. hang it on ropes if You want. I dont give a fuck

Lmfao! You said it shouldn't need a stand or it's a bad design and he pointed out other electronics do need them.

Does Sony alternate between “curvy” and flat design?

Ps1, PS3, PS5 -> have curves
PS2, PS4 -> no curves

Nope.

PSone, PS3, PS5 -> have curves
PS1 Fat, PS2, PS4 -> no curves

 

[Redlancet]

Your television does not need a seperate stand in the sense that the PS5 needs a seperate stand or you have a weird and terribly designed TV. You are equivocating the word "stand." By "stand" he means something like "a distinct and separate object whose function is to hold upright another object" whereas you mean something like "an object one rests another object on to increase its height from the floor."

And this is an opinion board. You shouldn't expect people to qualify posts with "in my opinion." It's an obvious unspoken truth. Thats how language works.

so every console with a separate stand its bad design no? good to know ,cause there is a lot of them,included all the past xboxes

 

[Bogroll]

What that even means.

The consoles is really great in design.
The DE looks better because the DB bay is a bit odd but it is looks really beautiful.

Its basically a film (starring Jack Black i think)where a man is hypnotised into thinking a fat ugly woman is beautiful.

 

[Potato Chip PRO]

Damn, PS5 looking like a double wide surprise..... It chonky, Thicc, EXTRA THICC! Where's the eject disc button.

 

[Soodanim]

Ikea KALLAX is 33cm cubes. Looks like I'm waiting for the slim.

 

[Lupin3]

Never ever approve console designs during office parties.

But why are there two different controllers? Has another one been announced?

 

[Laconian Sword]

On the bright side, the power button looks normal and not capacitive. Also the ports aren't hidden within a series of identical cavities.

Not one xbox console has needed a stand to lay down is his point, no console has. They've managed to make a console that needs a stand just so it doesn't wobble when laid down.

 

[Gravemind]

yikes, is that ever an eye sore

 

[HeadsUp7Up]

Where are the photoshop wizards making accurate size comparisons with the other consoles? Don’t let me down gaf.

 

[Shmunter]

How does it compare to my house?

 

[Neo_game]

The stand is going to be included with the console ?

 

[Daniel_Mallorca1985]

The stand is going to be included with the console ?

Yes.

 

[Daniel_Mallorca1985]

I have an idea. The base for PS5 or PS5 DE can change horizontal position or vertical position (min 42:53)

 

[Breakage]

The horizontal front and rear shots look the worst. Genuinely looks as if the case has been peeled apart by an angry person.

 

[John Mullins]

It will look much better lying flat than standing upright.

Black looks infinitely better.

 

[kingpotato]

Ugly AF and fat, just like me. Can't wait to get it!

 

[The Hamburglar]

Still looks like a Cervix

 

[Birdo]

I'm glad that ethernet ports have survived another generation. I was worried that everything would be wireless going forward.

 

[Arkam]

So that means we should see a few show up at media outlets and influencers soon! We have what, 7 weeks til launch? I am going to guess we get two more PS streams and one will walk us through the OS features. I have zero doubt that it will be great.... I just hate to wait.

 

[Aggressive Carrot]

PS5 got some meat on them bones.



Edit: didn't realize there are 2 threads for this. I thought my post didn't go through.

 

[Gen.Grievous]

No fatshaming please.

 

[MasterCornholio]

I anticipate it to use a blower similar to the one X and it's pulling all the air on the "thic" side. To keep it quiet and accommodate for the variable clocks it's going to need a large blower.

In definitely not expecting it to have a small fan like the PS4. I'm curious as to how many fans it will have though.

 

[Thabass]

L O R G E B O Y

 

[cryptoadam]

Huge. Way uglier then the forman grill PS3.

Step back from the PS4.

 

[Nikana]

If I'm a betting man I'm going with one blower but it'll be very large.

 

[prinz_valium]

Half a Meter, jesus

 

[PharaoTutAnchAmun]

Why they made this look like a vagina I will never know

No its shaped after an Alien vagina

 

[Garani]

Ahem, am I the only one that actually loves this design?

 

[Sub_Level]

Ahem, am I the only one that actually loves this design?

Yep. Thats ok tho.

 

[Nickolaidas]

Yup, that's the first PlayStation console I'll have standing up.

 

[Garani]

Yep. Thats ok tho.

Oh well... I guess I'll live with it (who knows, once I unbox it I may hate it...)

 

[Paulxo87]

thic as hell like the girl i had over and was plowing last night

 

[rapid32.5]

It's so ugly horizontally that it needs Roomba stand to clean the mess.

 

[Magic Carpet]

First console that will be living behind my TV.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Is it?

 

[RoadHazard]

A console that can't stand on its own, in any orientation, is just a bad design.

I don't hate how it looks, but I do hate that.

 

[Valonquar]

All I know is, we better have replacement outer shells ASAP. Whoever thought bright as fuck white was the best option is on crack.

 

[skneogaf]

It will look so much better black

 

[genesisblock]

This isn't as bad as it looks. I for one would be air mounting it on my wall to give it the impression that it's levitating

 

[The Cartographer]

It will look so much better black

Absolutely.
Classic Playstation grey would also be better than the white one.

 

[dolabla]

That thing is MASSIVE, but still weighs less than OG PS3.

 

[Deleted member 740922]

Ahem, am I the only one that actually loves this design?

There are three others in particular who will.... say... they love it.

 

[//DEVIL//]

putting a disk in the PS5 while its on its belly is gonna be a problem.

 

[GeorgPrime]

It's a big boy

i love big boys.... ok.... that sounds so wrong!

PS5 design aged badly, and it isn't out yet.

People should wait for Lite version.

PS 5 is not made for the original version. You have to get something like this

 

[Darklor01]

Is it?

Dolby sound isn’t Dolby vision.

 

[R6Rider]

The shots are horizontal/laying down where it always looked much worse than when vertical. Not saying it looks amazing, but standing up it will look a lot better. The XSX also looks a lot worse on it's side. Only the XSS looks ok on it's side (but looks horrible standing up).

 

[NullZ3r0]

It doens't look that sexy but people have to understand that sony needs room for the cooling.

do you prefer a sick looking console who sound like a boeing 747 who heat up like brazil during summer?

both consolles are gigantic for the same reason.

Series X isn't that large.
