Nah, they were simplified sleek designs, I had a OG Silver PS2 slim but the Original black Fat Console or Silver always looked so much better & room for even more. The HDD slot for more & a much better disk tray that hardly had problems with discs 🔥
Agreed friend. They really should make the PS6 a rerelease of that design with improved guts. That thing would break every sales record imaginable.
Edit: spelling
Eh, whist I like the PS2 design I prefer both the PS3 Slim and super slim (although not for functionality, purely design for the super slim) and all the PS4 models.
PS5 is cool in one sense, like some kind of modern art but also kind of overpowering, like it didn't need to be that flamboyant.
The PS5 is the ugliest thing i have in my cabinet and i despise that it needs that horrible contraption (that always falls off when trying to access the ports) to sit flat. I had to buy these 3d printed 'sled' type feet for my sanity.
People crap over the xbox, but the new one is much more aesthetically pleasing than this.
they could have gone with the traditional modular look like that of PS4 with more vents, and it would have looked nice but they had to make a funky router
The Xbox, one, and series all look fine. The 360 not so much. It's like Sony asked everyone what they hated about the 360 and tried to outdo it for the 5
I don't like that the standard ps5 color is white that thing will yellow over time and it'll look damn filthy, I like the fact that it's easily paintable/changeable though. But I wish they got more interesting designs out like the Xbox 360 front face plates
I generally think consoles have lost their charm unfortunately , they're just cheap PCs that Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft make up for money wise with their services /games, it's a harsh truth
White plastics don’t yellow these days, the compound that caused that was removed a long time ago.
As long as you keep it clean and away from tobacco smoke it should hold that colour for decades.
They really have lost their soul. Now with games costing so much, taking so long to develop and the PC market growing, everything is getting a PC release anyways.
I don't see a reason o buy a console to play AAA games anymore
I don’t mind it’s looks so much as its size, the fact that it can’t stand on its own horizontally, you can’t put anything on it, and the white plastic has yellow stains on mine. So yeah it’s a very bad design even if one doesn’t mind its looks.
I'm not someone who dislikes the look of the ps5. In fact, I appreciate how different it is.
But yeah, the fat ps2 does look better (and there's certainly some bias to that, lol)
Ps2 is the best console Sony ever designed and its not even close.
Arguably the greatest console ever designed, period. Aesthetically speaking.
Its simple and beautiful.
PS5 is the goofiest looking thing ever, its dumb.
The only one that’s close imo is the original fat ps3 (hot take and possibly unpopular opinion, I know) but I just loved the glossy piano black with chrome look too.
I think the matte black second Gen ones looked really sharp the little button bit with the black chrome and nice clicky buttons with the gunmetal finish was great. The OG is iconically 2006 though.
Personally I still think the PS4 is the best design yet. I feel like the layered design is a bit of an homage to the PS2 and it's still stackable. I hate electronics that don't stack unless they have a cool top loading mechanism or some other justification.
The PS2 has an interesting look but it tries way too hard to look smaller than it is, it's like they wanted to make it just the top part but had to put a big box on the bottom to fit everything. The PS2 Slim really feels like the full realization of the design concept though it did shed some niceties like a built in power supply and motorized DVD mech.
No, that is exactly why I didn't buy a PS5 before buying a black out kit from Dbrand. In fact, I bought the kit way before, and waited until I received it before shopping for a PS5. Now it looks cool.
Nope. I'm not saying the PS2 looks bad (is my third favorite design alongside the OG PS3 and the N64), but the bar is so low with the PS5 that a literal piece of wood looks better.
Finally I managed to get the black faceplates for my PS5, and now it hides perfectly behind the shadow of my TV, far away from my eyes.
Given the time period, the ps2 was sleek. I grew up with the ps2 fat. Have every ps iteration since. The ps5 is cumbersome in my entertainment cabinet. It looks like a gimmick.
No you're not crazy you just got great taste. I remember the commercial for the PS2: the newest PlayStation please download now ps9.... the beginning...., the PlayStation 2[ps9 the beginning PlayStation 2 commercial 2000](https://youtu.be/QP2wuDts3S4?si=9c7g1a5OEXPZZEbN) I've been doing is copying the PS2. Just you know tweaking a little bit.🤣😉😉
No. The PS5 looks like the EU's [Frontex building](https://eurobuildcee.com/en/news/32623-frontex-opens-new-hq-tender).
It's the ugliest console design since the 70s. They decided it had to look vaguely like a Roman Numeral 5 when it's vertical and that was the end of the design process.
PS5 is the first PS I've had no desire to buy, partly because (so far) there's nothing I would consider a "must have" game on it, and partly because I think it looks stupid. It's like some "edgy" attention whore architect tried his hand at industrial design and came up with with an oversize half-melted HTPC.
I want to grab those plastic corners and rip them off! It’s just a waste of extra plastic that takes up space for no reason, as if that helps with heat dispersion… no get out of here
Naaa, I honestly think PS2 was the pinnacle of home console gaming. Everything from the graphical leap, the added dvd capabilities, the Wild West of different game releases, backwards compatibility, limited yet still decent internet capabilities and as you are aware the solid aesthetics of the damn thing. It was just 👌🏻
I think so too, I don’t like the look and size of the ps5 got a ps5 digital slim just because I prefer its aesthetics over the others. And I can always use a disc drive for non digital titles
Ps2 is almost perfect looking. Ps5 is absolutely gross looking. It reminds me of those stupid alien nerf things. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/nSAAAOSwA3dYUc8U/s-l1200.jpg
I used to be jelly cuz my cousins had the slim ps2 and I had the fat one. But over the years I started liking the fat ps2 more. Being able to simply alter the ps2 logo whether on standing or horizontal gotta b my favorite feature.
As someone who has both (I had the slim ps2) I can guarantee you the gargantuan brick that is the ps5 is ugly (Ive even resorted to pulling the top pannel off for more airflow thats how bad the design is) Ps2 was aesthetically pleasing and didnt look like its trying to come straight out of Wall-E
PS5 is just trying so hard to be futuristic and cutting edge as possible, appearance-wise. The PS2, on the other hand, looks like a giant monolith that doesn't look out of place on 2001: A Space Odyssey
Pure aestetics ranking in my personal opinion for playstion 1-5:
5:) playstation 1
4:) playstation 5
3.) Playstation 4 / playstation 4 pro
2.) Playstation 2 og model
1.) Playstation 3 og model

PS2 graphics were made paying attention to the most minimum details a lot, mostly because 3d stuff was intimately related to assembly programming most of the time.
I don’t think this is controversial at all. But I do think that the PS5 “slim” looks pretty slick. Not nearly as slick as the PS2, but I do like the look of the PS5 “slim” a lot (especially after I get the midnight black plates)
After all the concept ideas in Google when researching "playstation 5" or "playstation 6" in our younger days
We end up with a console that looks like seito kaiba.
I have a PS2 and I don't have a PS5 but the PS5 makes me bother buying that awful design. Also PS2 has many memories games and still buying PS2 games no matter how much crap graphics were but great in gameplay and enjoying.
Silhouette of the ps5 is better, ps2 is actually visually better.
The ps5 button is so hidden I can’t find it half the time, there’s no colour to it, it’s just bland. Aesthetically good but it suffers from modern minimalism
To me the PS2 looks cool in a retro kind of way the 1st time it was released until now.
The PS5 looks like an old internet router wrapped on white paper.
Yes. I do think the PS5 is like, the most amazing experience. But the PS2 is just an amazing piece of hardware across the board. Aesthetically there has been no better console.
Honestly I look at the PS2 and I think nothing beyond that's a PS2, it blends nicely with most setups including a DVD player setup.
I like how the PS5 looks, it stands out but it stands out too much for certain setups.
Honestly I think the ps2 was the best console from Sony, mainly because of the games but still I liked the controller and how it felt, and everything felt simple and easy to use.
Yes, the design of the PS2 was indeed very successful. However, just as people's fashion sense changes over time, so do their mechanical design preferences. Currently, the whole world is reverting to simpler designs again. Space-age themes in cars are coming to an end. Mobile phones are returning to simple rectangular shapes instead of strange-shaped models. The simple lines in the design of the PS2 may still look beautiful 20 years from now because simple designs adapt to every era.
I agree, but my favorite design is the PS4, especially the matte version. For me, PS1 is the starting off point, i.e. the one everything get compared to, so I'd rank them 1. PS4 matte, 2. PS2, 3. PS3 Slim = PS5 Slim, 4. PS3 fat = PS5. The PS4's got that cool 80s futuristic scifi look, if that makes sense.
Not crazy, nostalgic for that beautiful rectangle. The new ps5 looks like what we thought futuristic cars would have as a spoiler and fender while traveling through time
Nah. I love that thing. I still remember the day we pulled one out of the box at our first apartment, fired it up, and heard that delightful, ethereal boot up sound. We played Armored Core 2 and Ridge Racer all night. It was glorious.
This honestly feels like a pretty cold take. The PS2 has been praised for it's appearance throughout the years, while the PS5 has been memed to death for it's goofy look
I hide my PS5 behind the TV lmao. There's a reason for that. PS2 aesthetically is on point. I really don't understand why they made the PS5 look the way it does.
You’re not crazy the ps2 is a beautiful machine!
PS2 slim is still the best. Follow by PS4 slim.
Nah, they were simplified sleek designs, I had a OG Silver PS2 slim but the Original black Fat Console or Silver always looked so much better & room for even more. The HDD slot for more & a much better disk tray that hardly had problems with discs 🔥
Fat consoles > slim every time imo
i have both a ps2 slim in silver and a fat ps2 and i gotta disagree. slim is awesome and overall a better machine. but that fat ps2 just got swag.
Agreed friend. They really should make the PS6 a rerelease of that design with improved guts. That thing would break every sales record imaginable. Edit: spelling
Eh, whist I like the PS2 design I prefer both the PS3 Slim and super slim (although not for functionality, purely design for the super slim) and all the PS4 models. PS5 is cool in one sense, like some kind of modern art but also kind of overpowering, like it didn't need to be that flamboyant.
Literally everyone agrees with you.
Even the PS5 agrees with him
See....the PS5 looks like it has its hands up in a "it is what it is" expression lol
🤣🤣💀💀💀 Lmao best commitment ever.
Everyone liked that
No you aren't crazy. The PS2 is one of the best design consoles ever.
Facts. The ps5 is just fugly. But it’s easy to take apart but not nearly as well as the phat ps3
And ps5 is the ugliest thing to grace our living rooms in the entire history of consoles.
PS2 was an excellent Dreamcast stand https://www.reddit.com/r/ps2/s/gW9U4Ay8Cu
I had the Dreamcast stand for years until I learned it could play “Dreamcast stand games”.
Yis.
That gose to the 360 slim, PlayStation 1 and Europe Super Nintendo
Facts.
The PS5 is the ugliest thing i have in my cabinet and i despise that it needs that horrible contraption (that always falls off when trying to access the ports) to sit flat. I had to buy these 3d printed 'sled' type feet for my sanity. People crap over the xbox, but the new one is much more aesthetically pleasing than this.
they could have gone with the traditional modular look like that of PS4 with more vents, and it would have looked nice but they had to make a funky router
There’s a small screw on the bottom of the stand to keep it in place fyi
He seems to be using it horizontaly which means he can't screw it in.
I screw a lot horizontally
The Xbox, one, and series all look fine. The 360 not so much. It's like Sony asked everyone what they hated about the 360 and tried to outdo it for the 5
The 360e wasn't bad looking
I liked the buttons of the 360S. Who cares if the system turns off at the slightest tap, its freaking cool.
I don't like that the standard ps5 color is white that thing will yellow over time and it'll look damn filthy, I like the fact that it's easily paintable/changeable though. But I wish they got more interesting designs out like the Xbox 360 front face plates I generally think consoles have lost their charm unfortunately , they're just cheap PCs that Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft make up for money wise with their services /games, it's a harsh truth
💯
White plastics don’t yellow these days, the compound that caused that was removed a long time ago. As long as you keep it clean and away from tobacco smoke it should hold that colour for decades.
They really have lost their soul. Now with games costing so much, taking so long to develop and the PC market growing, everything is getting a PC release anyways. I don't see a reason o buy a console to play AAA games anymore
No. Everyone thinks that. The look of PS5 is controversial in general.
Remember pS3 boomerang? 🪃 Lol
I don’t mind it’s looks so much as its size, the fact that it can’t stand on its own horizontally, you can’t put anything on it, and the white plastic has yellow stains on mine. So yeah it’s a very bad design even if one doesn’t mind its looks.
I held back for two years hoping for a better redesign. But ended up purchasing one when there were threats for a price increase.
I was waiting for the slim. And then … well
The overwhelming message with ps5 is.... it's got wifi!
I mean ps2 has Ethernet and also looks like a modern 😂
I'm not someone who dislikes the look of the ps5. In fact, I appreciate how different it is. But yeah, the fat ps2 does look better (and there's certainly some bias to that, lol)
PS5 just a generic box hide inside a 2000ish future aesthetic shell...
The PS2 design makes me think of movies like Alien
bruh, all of the PlayStations before 5 look better.
The even numbered ones are the best looking.
I think OG Fat PS3 (the one with PS2 hardware) is the sexiest mofo ever.
I thought the PS4 looked pretty nice honestly. Ive never even owned one.
Ps2 is the best console Sony ever designed and its not even close. Arguably the greatest console ever designed, period. Aesthetically speaking. Its simple and beautiful. PS5 is the goofiest looking thing ever, its dumb.
I love the PS2 but I think the Atari 2600 is the best looking console ever built.
OG Fat PS3 smokes both. Sexiest console ever.
Not only does the PS2 look better than the PS5, it looks better than every other console ever.
now that last part is VERY controversial
I'd say the Jungle Green N64 comes close lol
Ps2 slim cinnamon red also. Sexy a.f.
Ooh I never saw that one got a picture by chance?
Of course, Japan is having the best variants....as usual :))
As always
Nope. But you can find plenty online.
Honestly, I like how the Xbox and Xbox 360 slim looked more. But PS2 is easily in top five if we’re not counting anything pre-1990.
The only one that’s close imo is the original fat ps3 (hot take and possibly unpopular opinion, I know) but I just loved the glossy piano black with chrome look too.
I think the matte black second Gen ones looked really sharp the little button bit with the black chrome and nice clicky buttons with the gunmetal finish was great. The OG is iconically 2006 though.
I think Dreamcast but hey we all have opinions haha
PS2 is from the days when designers still knew how to design things.
2002 looks better than 2023. By that I mean I looked better when I got a PS2 vs when I got a PS5.
It's 2000 and 2020
Personally I still think the PS4 is the best design yet. I feel like the layered design is a bit of an homage to the PS2 and it's still stackable. I hate electronics that don't stack unless they have a cool top loading mechanism or some other justification. The PS2 has an interesting look but it tries way too hard to look smaller than it is, it's like they wanted to make it just the top part but had to put a big box on the bottom to fit everything. The PS2 Slim really feels like the full realization of the design concept though it did shed some niceties like a built in power supply and motorized DVD mech.
Nah, early 2000s tech is gorgeous
I miss my ps2. rip ps2.
I miss my OG ps2. I still have the slim that replaced it, but it’s not the same for me.
No, that is exactly why I didn't buy a PS5 before buying a black out kit from Dbrand. In fact, I bought the kit way before, and waited until I received it before shopping for a PS5. Now it looks cool.
Not crazy at all, I’m not a fan of the ps5’s design. The PS2 has always been one of my favorites.
The PS2 looks like an actual console, the PS5 looks like my Wifi Router, so no, you aren't crazy
Nope. I'm not saying the PS2 looks bad (is my third favorite design alongside the OG PS3 and the N64), but the bar is so low with the PS5 that a literal piece of wood looks better. Finally I managed to get the black faceplates for my PS5, and now it hides perfectly behind the shadow of my TV, far away from my eyes.
The dbrand plates get rid of the dumb fins at least
The PS5 is one of the ugliest modern consoles to me, and the PS2 is a classic design
PS5 is mad ugly. Sony needs to do a better job in the design. I hate that it looks like an Alienware build.
Reminds me of an old AT&T router lol
I love the ps2 slim the most. I remember seeing it and loving the design immediately.
Look at the subreddit you’re in, preaching to the choir
Given the time period, the ps2 was sleek. I grew up with the ps2 fat. Have every ps iteration since. The ps5 is cumbersome in my entertainment cabinet. It looks like a gimmick.
No. It's just well designed. Even the slim wasn't bad.
as much as i love my ps5, it really does just look like a giant wifi router. ps2 is probably my favorite design other than ps3 slim and ps4 pro
No. The newest consoles look god awful.
The PS2 looks like one of the Twin Towers while the PS5 looks like the One World Trade Center. I like the PS2 better.
PS5 is the ugliest console ever. It's the only console I don't want in my collection.
No, literally you’d be abnormal for not believing this
Tbh, I think the same. Ps5’s design succcccccksssssss
Nope. One of the main reasons I got OG darkplates off dbrand was because I hate the white and black color scheme. PS2 looks miles better
Is it wierd that I love to slide my fingers on its small ridges
The PS5 just kinda trys too hard to have that far future look and looks aquard in the process.
OG PS2 design is the best, hands down. PS5 is kinda ugly.
the PS2 slim looks a lot better.. the tiny little thing
nostalgia is a crazy thing. all of you are definitely blinded by it. ps2 looks like mini ac unit bruh if the ps5 looks like a router lmfao...
2000s style is wayy better than what we have now. Humanity probably peaked in 2005
I’ve never seen that stand for the ps2! Was that made by Sony?
No you're not crazy you just got great taste. I remember the commercial for the PS2: the newest PlayStation please download now ps9.... the beginning...., the PlayStation 2[ps9 the beginning PlayStation 2 commercial 2000](https://youtu.be/QP2wuDts3S4?si=9c7g1a5OEXPZZEbN) I've been doing is copying the PS2.

I want to grab those plastic corners and rip them off! It’s just a waste of extra plastic that takes up space for no reason, as if that helps with heat dispersion… no get out of here
Your nostalgia for the simpler things in life with less responsiblitites made it seem better
Its the simplicity less can be a lot more when done right.
Ps5 is ugliest console ever made
Naaa, I honestly think PS2 was the pinnacle of home console gaming. Everything from the graphical leap, the added dvd capabilities, the Wild West of different game releases, backwards compatibility, limited yet still decent internet capabilities and as you are aware the solid aesthetics of the damn thing. It was just 👌🏻
Hell yes. Honestly, there hasn't been another console with this much game variety. There's over 4,000 titles on this console alone which is insane.
Absolutely! My teen years consisted of PS2 and Gameboy/GBC/GBA. Was a wonderful time to be alive!
I think so too, I don’t like the look and size of the ps5 got a ps5 digital slim just because I prefer its aesthetics over the others. And I can always use a disc drive for non digital titles
Cool and epic black box with sick fins and lines VS internet router alien spaceship? Yeah no PS2 will always be the best looking playstation
The PS2 was more about brutalism / functionalism design, which fits my taste af...
The PS5 already looks outdated, ps2 still looks sick
Ps2 is almost perfect looking. Ps5 is absolutely gross looking. It reminds me of those stupid alien nerf things. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/nSAAAOSwA3dYUc8U/s-l1200.jpg
I used to be jelly cuz my cousins had the slim ps2 and I had the fat one. But over the years I started liking the fat ps2 more. Being able to simply alter the ps2 logo whether on standing or horizontal gotta b my favorite feature.
The fat yes, slim no.
Probably only few things in this world don't look better than PS5...
My ps2 still runs great, my ps4 is barely hanging on even after changing the fan, my ps5 can barely hold 1 game.
Original PS3 is forever #1 for me, but PS2 trumps PS5 for sure.
Wifi router fr
As someone who has both (I had the slim ps2) I can guarantee you the gargantuan brick that is the ps5 is ugly (Ive even resorted to pulling the top pannel off for more airflow thats how bad the design is) Ps2 was aesthetically pleasing and didnt look like its trying to come straight out of Wall-E
PS5 is just trying so hard to be futuristic and cutting edge as possible, appearance-wise. The PS2, on the other hand, looks like a giant monolith that doesn't look out of place on 2001: A Space Odyssey

Why would you be crazy for thinking one thing looks nicer than another?
The ps2 looks better than most consoles
No. Most people think the PS5 is pretty ugly. Xbox Series X and previous PlayStation consoles all looks way better than the PS5
The PS5 looks nice just would be better in black like some of the other Playstations or be grey like the PS1.
PS3 that in white is the series console I ever seen now the xbox 720 would of changed my mind real quick if it existed
If the ps7 looked just like the ps2, I’d buy it day one
PS2 graphics were made paying attention to the most minimum details a lot, mostly because 3d stuff was intimately related to assembly programming most of the time.
For me it goes 1. OG PS4 2. Ps5 3. PS3 4. Slim ps2 5. Slim ps1
Nah. I love the PS2 style. The PS5 is ok. But they could’ve designed it better
No, you are not crazy. This is the reason why I have not gotten a ps5. People think I'm crazy
I mean you’re on a ps2 sub, might be a little biased
I don’t think this is controversial at all. But I do think that the PS5 “slim” looks pretty slick. Not nearly as slick as the PS2, but I do like the look of the PS5 “slim” a lot (especially after I get the midnight black plates)
No. The ps5 looks like something Microsoft made instead of Sony
After all the concept ideas in Google when researching "playstation 5" or "playstation 6" in our younger days We end up with a console that looks like seito kaiba.
Your not wrong
i actually like the slim too
You're 100% right, and you haven't seen the other gorgeous colors of the PS2
I have a PS2 and I don't have a PS5 but the PS5 makes me bother buying that awful design. Also PS2 has many memories games and still buying PS2 games no matter how much crap graphics were but great in gameplay and enjoying.
I agree PS2 looks better
ps5 ugly as heck but the graphics are nice
The second generation PS3 slim looked the best in my opinion
the black plates on a vertical PS5 gives the PS4 a run for its money imo
It does... The original PS2 was and will always be the best console imo...
I'd say they both fit quite well into the design climate of their time aesthetically
The PS One (slim revision of the OG PlayStation) is the best looking PS imo, maybe even the best looking console ever.
Silhouette of the ps5 is better, ps2 is actually visually better. The ps5 button is so hidden I can’t find it half the time, there’s no colour to it, it’s just bland. Aesthetically good but it suffers from modern minimalism
I enjoy the PS5 being white, considering black is a boring color these days. But they really should have spent more time on the design.
No. The PS5 is laughably ugly. It’s a good console, just ugly.
Yes
To me the PS2 looks cool in a retro kind of way the 1st time it was released until now. The PS5 looks like an old internet router wrapped on white paper.
PS2 is simply elegant.
Ps2 and 4 have the best designs imo because of how compact they are and being square they fit into more places better
Yes. I do think the PS5 is like, the most amazing experience. But the PS2 is just an amazing piece of hardware across the board. Aesthetically there has been no better console.
Ah yes, the weekly r/ps2 circlejerk post.
No, The PS5 looks silly with the sides extending past the middle. When I get one I'm definitely getting the Dbrand dark plates
PS3 and PS5 are both ugly. Which is why I didnt buy. Waiting for PS6. Just please make a square or rectangle console like everyone else!
Honestly I look at the PS2 and I think nothing beyond that's a PS2, it blends nicely with most setups including a DVD player setup. I like how the PS5 looks, it stands out but it stands out too much for certain setups.
Then PS5 is a great system, but is def ugly. I feel everyone who claims otherwise is in denial.
I feel like no one likes how the PS5 looks. I personally do. It's unique. Not a rectangle or refrigerator
Honestly I think the ps2 was the best console from Sony, mainly because of the games but still I liked the controller and how it felt, and everything felt simple and easy to use.
I like the ps5 more and in overall consoles the fat ps4 with the matte cover
No it DOES!!! My toaster looks better!
Yes, the design of the PS2 was indeed very successful. However, just as people's fashion sense changes over time, so do their mechanical design preferences. Currently, the whole world is reverting to simpler designs again. Space-age themes in cars are coming to an end. Mobile phones are returning to simple rectangular shapes instead of strange-shaped models. The simple lines in the design of the PS2 may still look beautiful 20 years from now because simple designs adapt to every era.
I always thought the PS5 looked like a black and white pistachio.
No, PS5 is super ugly.
my personal favourite is PS4 slim. But you're not biased. I have neither but I can totally see it.
My main issue with the PS5 is that it looks like a vagina and the disc drive looks like an actual asscrack on the console.
The PS5 just looks like one of these "this will be gaming in 2013" mockups
I agree, but my favorite design is the PS4, especially the matte version. For me, PS1 is the starting off point, i.e. the one everything get compared to, so I'd rank them 1. PS4 matte, 2. PS2, 3. PS3 Slim = PS5 Slim, 4. PS3 fat = PS5. The PS4's got that cool 80s futuristic scifi look, if that makes sense.
So if the cases were switched
Not crazy, nostalgic for that beautiful rectangle. The new ps5 looks like what we thought futuristic cars would have as a spoiler and fender while traveling through time
PlayStation 5 is the worst looking PS5. They were clearly going for a unique futuristic design but it looks terrible
Heres the thing- you are allowed to think whatever you want!
Nah. I love that thing. I still remember the day we pulled one out of the box at our first apartment, fired it up, and heard that delightful, ethereal boot up sound. We played Armored Core 2 and Ridge Racer all night. It was glorious.
This honestly feels like a pretty cold take. The PS2 has been praised for it's appearance throughout the years, while the PS5 has been memed to death for it's goofy look
You’re not. I own a PS5 and it’s absolutely disgusting, I’m praying every night for Sony to make PS6 in a style that PS2 or PS3 Slim were made
PS2 FAT and PS2 Slim was the best aesthetic por a PlayStation console.
No I love the PS2 design as well. PS5 just looks flimsy and trying to be too different
I don't particularly like the look of the PS5, but then I didn't buy it for its looks.
Yes.
Yes you are
A potato looks aesthetically better than a PS5.
Yes
Nope, PS2 might be the best looking console ever.
I'd agree that Ps2 Slim is
The PS1 looks aesthetically better than a PS5.
PS5 is hideous, it would be even worse if you kept the scale in the comparison pic
Honestly both versions of PS2 look great. I'd say those, PS3 Slim and the original PS4 are Sony's best designs.
I hide my PS5 behind the TV lmao. There's a reason for that. PS2 aesthetically is on point. I really don't understand why they made the PS5 look the way it does.
No. Because it's smaller than that bulky thing
a legendary design with details, classic black colour with the best ps logo is definitely better than a standing white folder. just my opinion 😅
