The PS5 IMO is maybe the ugliest recent gen game consoles anybody's released. Thing looks fucking atrocious and it's huge. I'm pretty casual and don't give a lot of shits about bleeding edge whatever and literally it was the way this thing looks that swayed me away from buying one a couple years ago.

The design does look like it's from one of those 'this is what the PS4 will look like in 2010' videos you'd see on YouTube in 2008 next to the Xbox 720 and Nintendo WiiDS. Should've also given the controller 4 analogue sticks to really sell it.

Yeah the console itself really does have big 4-analog-stick energy

That's a good way to explain it. "retrofuturism" but from 2008.
