I prefer consoles, I don't need the highest FPS or resolution, but the way this is positioned basically means that they will be pushing incremental upgrades every few years. This might be the new paradigm and I don't think I am on board. This is basically the PC model of upgrading your hardware every few years to keep up. I like consoles because it is a close, self-contained system and generation. It might actually be a good thing for all I know, since I can't predict the future but extrapolate what they told us.
Having an optional upgrade every few years seems like the only way to do it if they plan on maintaining backward compatibility and locking people into their platform. Console generations were getting way too long anyway, and they need to keep pace with the television market and deliver all those K's. Sony is doing the same thing from what I understand, so I can't imagine that a lot of PS4 owners would want this rather than a PS5.
I just find that consoles have become increasingly complicated, while PCs have gotten to be far less of a pain in the ass than they used to be. I have a big enough library of digital games on their platform that I would likely buy one to replace my XBOX One S if it were to break down, but I'm only buying new games for PC these days.
I can't believe no one, anywhere, said to the engineers "hey guys, we would like it if average consumers looked ar this product and thought it looked reasonable for their TV cabinets".
The design of this is going to alienate so many would be purchasers who simply choose the PS5 because it fits where their prior gen console was. Also yes I know it can gi horizontal but it's so tall that direction that it's not gonna fit in many smaller shelves.
I doesn't look any bigger than a audio reciever, when the unit is placed horizontal. What kind of entertainment centers do you people have?
It didn't seem to have any ventilation on the long side, so you probably don't need as much space as you think.
People are being overly dramatic. Based on the picture it's a little over 12x6x6 inches. It's not a problem. It's smaller than the original One.
