I still think it's one of the ugliest designs I've ever seen. I may still get one down the road, but I'd honestly be embarrassed to have this in my entertainment area.
(You don't have to quote this post and tell me you like the design. It's cool that you do and I'm happy for you.)
It's a pretty good design. Really futuristic.
Old gamers are used to boring shoe boxes, but this is 2020
Pretty much, wasn't the "exciting" logo reveal the same?People want to see what it looks like. I wouldn't say it's an indication of it being a popular design, it's very much talked about right now.
It's a bit silly to not get one because of the design though - unless you don't care for the exclusives I suppose.
Hi I'm PS5 and I am a beastThat is one sexy beast.
Love how they incorporated the V shape into the design.
Pretty futuristic if this was 1990s.
Also, let me doubt as an industrial designer how a design can be pretty good when you need a fucking support for something as basic as placing your product horizontally.
Haha yeah, I miss the good old days when only sales were talked about. At least that was bearable."most viewed Design Trailer in videogame history" thread incoming
In general, most of the big trailers in the conference are above 1M, Spider-Man is close to 4M by now, it's doing crazy numbers.
I must say, the visuals, music and production were all on point. Hilarious comparing the slickness of this entire show to the weird PowerPoint like no frills look of the Mark Cerny Road to PS5 presentation.
Same for me, looks like something from Mass Effect.It's grown on me, I like the PlayStation 5 design now. It looks futuristic.
Sony is in serious trouble, they are doomed!!! lolAdditional info about Instagram metrics

Any industrial designer can tell you that a lot of times, people say a new design is "ugly" when they really mean "it's different" or "it's unfamiliar." There are tons of designs that are now well-regarded and even beloved that were initially derided, just because they were too different or shocking.
I'm not saying this is necessarily going to be a beloved design or whatever but I'm not surprised at all to see a growing chorus of "it's growing on me" posts. By the time November rolls around, I think a lot more people will be used to it.
