PS5 REVEAL
Mixed reaction as Sony finally shows PS5
–CL
WE NOW KNOW what the PlayStation 5 will look like. The black and white box features rounded corners and distinct fins, or wings. There are the near-obligatory blue LED lights too. It certainly looks better sitting vertically. Thankfully it looks nothing like the many bizarre renders we’ve seen online over the last months. Even so its slightly bold design has attracted some criticism, particularly on Twitter. That bastion of good taste has already run with an ugly duckling meme. There are two designs, one with an optical drive and one without, and the latter is slightly thinner. PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan claimed the company wants to take some risks with design, and it certainly makes the Xbox Series X look like a black block with a light on top, which it is.
