The middle-gen console (ps4 pro) it's been a false move imho. Many people bought the Ps4 when the price have gone down a little and after a few months the Ps4 Pro was out (at the same price of a launch Ps4. And at the same time base Ps4 price dropped). People felt teased.

The good of consoles is always been to buy one machine and be ok for the whole gen, with games always perfectly optimized, so there's a point on buying the console at launch (at the highest price, with few games and probably bugs and limits that will be solved afterwards. But it could make sense if you're good until the next gen).

Plus mid-gen consoles are bad not only for who bought the base console (that has to play technically worse versions of the games) but for Pro consoles owners too, 'cause game developers have limited margins in game's graphic foundations since they've to make them run on base consoles too.

I think some people will hold up on buying it al launch for this reason (waiting a Ps5 Pro that will likely come out in 2/3 years and will cost the same as normal Ps5 at launch).

However most people will probably just buy it immediately owned by the hype.
 
P.S. To be clear I didn't meant to judge anyone with my last phrase. I understand that buying a console at launch you can really enjoy the graphical leap that otherwise you will get spoiled on YT).

My critique was to console manufacturers who are not transparent to their customers but instrumentalize their emotions to maximize earnings.
 
Anyway I have to agree the Ps5 seems a router :D

However I've about 0% interest in aesthetics (I'd have no problems playing with a uncovered mother board), on the other hand it matters for the console placement and Ps5 is good enough for it (first Xbox i.e. is very uncomfortable 'cause you can't put it horizontal so you can't fit it in a space like this:

About the HW, Ps5 is really interesting. I hope developers won't care too much about useless numbers (damned 4k!) and will make a real graphical and ludic leap.

Btw, we can forget about the naming convention: FAT--->SLIM--->SUPERSLIM
The first PS5 model is not fat, and i dont see how to make it thinnest even in the incoming years
what i think they are going to do is a LARGE--->MEDIUM--->SMALL

This first model is the first version of the "PS5 large" series :D
 
PS5 large. By the way, do you remember those old Gen DVD players that used to be large but very slim? PS5 is similar. No?

The disc slot could not have the exact dimmensions of a disc... so maye there is some small innacuracy in that comparison of real world sizes in between different consoles
But yeah.. the PS5 is large for sure... a bit more than the PS3 fat

At some point (in the future when all specs are published from both consoles) i would like to see if someone posts the internal volume (meassured in liters) of the PS5 case and the XSX. Visually looks different but i think are not very far away to each other



Btw, this is a great technical article about the PS5 arquitecture published today

The actual disc slot size could only be smaller than the slot on the casing. Meaning the console can only be bigger than depicted in the comparison. Though I think it's probably fairly accurate because the size of the USB slots were also used as a reference.

It'll be interesting to see if Sony can slim it down in the future, whilst maintaining sufficient cooling.

What i meant is lets say... the diameter of an optical disc is 12cm... there is going to be some consoles where the disc slot is 14cm (it needs to be a bit bigger than the disc), and others could be 14.5cm... or 15cm... etc...
Right now i have lot of doubts about it, and is the kind of thing imposible to find in google, lol, the only way to know it accuratelly is by having all that consoles in front and meassuring it accuratelly

The USB is a better reference because his size should not vary too much, but the fact is so small in comparison with the whole console causes a bigger deviation in the claculations :/
Lets say... a milimeter in the USB maybe represents 1cm when we apply the scale factor to the sizes of the whole console

Overal, yeah, it seems to be very close to the images you posted, i was taking a look at other forum before and i found this, credits to Mr.Threepwood he took some time to try to do this comparison accuratelly

Futuristic look have XSX, this one is just router, vacuum cleaner or just any other random Chinese cheap sh*t. Sorry. :P
I'm waiting for second hardware revision, maybe they will change the looks...

And about games: for me only interesting is Kena:BoS and Ratchet & Clank: RA and maybe Horizon 2 plus this title from Dishonored authors (forgot the name). Everything else is just horrible, including Sackboy with isometric view.

This show is just disappointing as hell to me.

I don't understand this. If have seen something like the XSX in 2001:ASO, and many old cyberpunk movies, it is nothing new here, and the PS5 is really something new, coming from the not so nice PS4, I like this change. And what about the router thing? I didn't see any high end router (asus, netgear, linksys, etc) having a design like the PS5, so wth dude? LOL.

I knew this PS5 it was going to be the "next PS3" just because of its new features. I now want to use that new controller..

P/S: The other day I bought another "A", just beautiful and in really good condition. Why is that this console is so special? Huh? <3
 
Joypad is ok, even far way better looks than DS4. However spliingt it into two colours IMO not.

But console is different story. There wasn't in 2001 designs like XSX, those times was era of fancy shapes and silver cheap junk plastic. Design of new Xbox is pure minimalistic, it only have what is needed and every holes or logos on the background looks discrete. This is like one monolithic cube which doesn't focus attention and fit to every modern room.

While PS5 shouting on us: "I'm here MF!". It doesn't fit to any design of the room besides some white and white and black/darkwood. It have unnecessary shapes and diodes all around. For me it is something which makes me shame to put on desk because looks like marriage of router and iron, definitely not futuristic, just amateur.
