aww shit I'm bout to do it again

[brawndolicious]

Y'all crazy, The S is by far the best looking new console. It actually looks like it's trying to stick out of the crowd while still being simple and pretty. The X is boring in comparison (even tho that's the one I'll get).

The PS5 is just offensive, it looks like an industrial design major who slapped his thesis project together at the last minute. How do you make a console that's bigger, weaker, and still uglier than the competition?

[Rahxephon91]

You have games people want to play.

one ps3 remaster carrying the worlds ugliest console on its back 

meanwhile on xbox you can play ninja gaiden 1 and 2 in 4k by just putting the disk in

[Cerveza mas fina]

S looks cooler. Like a nice speaker you would have in the living room.

X looks like any other gamer gear minus led lights.

Im not sure I should upgrade from my One X and to what for 1080 gaming. I think S will be better for modern games due to better cpu and architecture, but maybe One X can overcome that with sheer gpu power. Dunno.

[nudemacusers]

the series s aligns to the current 'warm scandi-minimal' consumer product design language trend so I don't see where it's some outlier in terms of look and feel... series x is in a similar boat but drops the warmth and goes for the 'pro' look though looks a little too staid, at least in photos.

whereas the ps5 looks like it was unearthed from my 2003 college dorm.

[tiesto]

The whole minimalist look feels so mid 2000's to me and super boring (I also hated minimal techno that was so popular back then). PS5 is ugly and a clunker but at least it stands out and looks like a game console.

[Stoney Mason]

Won't pick up either until next year due to a lot of current bills but the S is appealing to me because I don't have a monitor that I game on that is 4k. I may down the road but for now 1080 is kinda all I need at the moment. I could always just upgrade the console down the road if/when I get the 4k monitor.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Scandinavian look is timeless and classy

PS5 is a router

Damn not often that I disagree with everything you say in a post 

[Human Snorenado]

I'll buy a PS5 in a year or when I can get one in a non eyesore presentation. Both the series S and X are fine from a design standpoint other than the S being white, which is disgusting and haram. People who want their game consoles/electronics to "stand out" are going to be first up against the wall when the revolution comes.

[Nuitangg]

Whoever designed the back ports of the PS4 is a dick.

[who is ted danson?]

The xbox designs look like a Kallax add-on item. Pretty much as neutral as it gets. Going to blend into Kallax + fairy light + house plant combo that is the background of every youtube vlog ever.

The PS5 is just plain ugly. I don't know what happened to their design department, maybe the thermal engineers designed it (lol). Bring back the PS1/PS2/PSPGO/Vita designers.

[Human Snorenado]

The PS5 is ugly but becomes less offensive if it was in black with gray accents. I've seen 'shops of it and they look fine. It's just the white bullshit, man. You people that like that shit are sick and need to be put down.

i have a white xbox one x

[Human Snorenado]

[Cerveza mas fina]

Im getting a white model 3 

 

I had white jeans in high school

 

My house is painted white

 

[Human Snorenado]

White interiors for houses are perfectly fine.

White for anything that gets handled a lot (phones, vidya controllers) or worn is asking for it to become filthy. White cars especially are the worst, it is known.

[Nintex]

Is there a White Xbox Series X? Or is that only in Dark Gray?

[brawndolicious]

The XSX is dark gray? Is that some zwarte piet revisionism?

I think the PS5 looks disgusting just the way it comes out of the factory but I don't think it'll look dirty over time. White controllers look bad because of how oils from your hands get embedded in them but for a device like a console/PC, black shows dust buildup the most in my anecdotal experience.

Well its 4tf vs 6tf with different architecture a bit.

Compared to my Jet Black GameCube, which had a deep black color.


My Xbox One X and now the Xbox Series X seems more gray-ish.

[Pissy F Benny]

I had the deep zwarte too

[Trent Dole]

S looks like a lot of latter day consoles, X is just straight up a PC tower. They're both fine really.

I give two shits what a console looks like. The S is relatively small which is a good thing, and while the series X is bigger at least its vertical which I prefer compared to say the original xbox one which was more like a VCR kinda thing which was annoying simply because of footprint size.

[Bebpo]

S looks really nice visually to me. X looks ok. I like sleek minimal looks for my boxes. PS4's pyramid is pretty solid, PS2 Slim was great, PS3's ovalness is ugly, PS5 is yikes forever (until the nice looking re-design 2-3 years in), Xbox is ugly as sin, X360 is ok but the black remodel towards the end was sleek.

Also I hate that all these new consoles are being shown standing (other than S which looks great horizontal). Who the fuck keeps an expensive piece of equipment that could fall down vertical anymore? All this stuff should be designed aesthetically first for horizontal. I can't believe the PS5 you need to buy a fucking stand just to put it horizontal. Feels like PS3 launch all over again.

“Xbox Series S was designed to be the most affordable next generation console and play next generation games at 1440P at 60fps. To deliver the highest quality backwards compatible experience consistent with the developer’s original intent, the Xbox Series S runs the Xbox One S version of backward compatible games while applying improved texture filtering, higher and more consistent frame rates, faster load times and Auto HDR.”

Perfect clarity achieved

I hadn't seen this. wonder how much this option will be.

(Image removed from quote.)

There's a price leak somewhere. Think it was $199. Not cheap.

This is giving me Sony memory card/stick vibes.  Hope there's cheaper options out there.

They went for a proprietary format, so not gonna happen.

[Nintex]

Wait, didn't they say 120FPS in the trailer?

Already 60fps less.

This deal is getting worse all the time 

[Trent Dole]

Remember how MGS4 was built to what PS3 specs allegedly were and then since they actually weren't that it had a giant fuck off install between every chapter? Don't believe anything until DF or whoever have torn the thing down and said 'this is what's actually in here'.

[Nintex]

I believe this is the first time when developers from id software, remedy and call of duty have come out on Twitter to warn us against an impending console release from Microsoft.

This is truly bizarre. 

[El Babua]

Microsoft gimping their one actual next gen system.

You hate to see it.

[nudemacusers]

nothing wrong with white consumer electro-

i have a white xbox one x

why tho

[TakingBackSunday]

Imagine caring about the design of a system that you won’t ever be looking at ever and will probably hide behind the TV/entertainment system anyway

Edit: goddamit new page curse

[benjipwns]

Any rumors on the pricing for the Kinect pack-in SKU?

[Joe Molotov]

$100 less if you take it.

[kingv]

I’m starting to get excited for series x. Pretty sure I’ll be in day 1 if I can get a preorder in

[Rahxephon91]

Yeah as a pretty much Playstation stan, the PS5 as is is so unappealing looking. Not that looks matter, but it's so ugly and white not a color I want that its serving as a detractor to wanting one. I'd rather wait till a inevitable black one.

You have to treat it like a sex doll, buy it hide it in the closet or under the bed. 

[Rahxephon91]

I've already got the sex toy looking move controllers in a easy to see docking station. No shame.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Oh and also the huge game wall with stuff like Senran Kagura. I've already lost.

You guys didn't notice the generic white box huehehehe

[Pissy F Benny]

Nintendies would have spotted it after forensically going thru the video after 2 hours of it releasing it at most, xbots need to step up their autism game

AutistyXplain would’ve had a 3 hour analysis video up while the livestream was still ongoing 

[Beezy]

I haven't followed much about the specs of the new systems because I don't really understand that shit and I know I'll buy both eventually anyway, but I thought PS5 was supposed to be the more powerful console? I feel like everything I've skimmed in recent weeks has said otherwise.

[Rufus]

The Series X is the most powerful (only its SSD is slower), but the existence of the Series S tampers that by a lot, since it lowers the floor considerably (its lower memory and memory bandwidth, specifically). Games will have to be made to scale well like on PC. Multiplat devs aren't keen on that.

IGN has a chart with all details:

[Pissy F Benny]

It lowers the floor for ps5 too, big third parties aren’t gonna skip Xbox and for the ones that do (Japanese devs who make lower budget weeb shit) you aren’t gonna see much, if any, of the baseline power difference anyway

[Nintex]

Don't bother watching this briefing. MS is a leaky boat, but it really is nothing new.

Unless you want to watch a bunch of executives discuss absolutely nothing for 60 minutes 

[Lonewulfeus]

We know the price and release date, as far as hardware goes what else do we need?

[kingv]

Realistically... a lot of devs are still going to try to get their games running on a switch.

[Nuitangg]

Another preorder shit show. 

[Pissy F Benny]

I remember just pre ordering a ps4 randomly in like august of 2013 off amazon and it coming on launch day

[Svejk]

Another preorder shit show. 

Wonder if MS is gonna blame bots as well. 

[Pissy F Benny]

Game in the uk have added a £9.99 delivery fee to ps5 and the Xbox’s, even if you have selected to pick up in store

Apparently a direct order from their parent company frasers group, aka sports direct, and if you know you know on that one

[Rahxephon91]

Going to gamestop just puts you in line for this.

But I don't want it.

[mormapope]

Pre-ordered on Amazon
 

[demi]

I sat in queue on GameStop only to be greeted to "Out of Stock" LMFAO

Made it to checkout on MS Store but it was being dogshit

BUT I GOT ONE ON AMAZON

[mormapope]

We'll being X'ing together daddy
