there was a bunch of comments on a gaming website i frequent gamespot.com
the ppl were whining and complaining about the color.
not sure if it's just me.... i don't care about the color - my focus is on my tv when watching programming or game playing.
i look at my PS4 1 time per day for a split second, when i turn it on to see the white light come on ( even though it beeps )
they could have made the PS5 orange green and pink - it's not going to make a difference to me the color.
ppl love to bitch about anything that has ABSOLUTELY ZERO EFFECT on their daily lives. it's hilarious
While that's true, and in the wider sense of things the actual looks of the console aren't that important, considering some marketing and design team somewhere probably got an insane amount of money the least they could have done was come up with a look that was decent and not widely mocked. Or at the very least should have shown it to a couple of normal gamers who could have told them in about three seconds it looked ridiculous so they could go back the drawing board. Some designers just couldn't help but try and be too cute in an artistic sense, and it appears they just tried way too hard.
I do wonder how it's asymmetricalness will effect where it can be put and how it can be orientated.
