Summary: Console reveals are fun, arenât they? I wasnât expecting to get a look at the actual Playstation 5 when Sony did their showcase this past week. If I remember correctly it only mentioned it would be showing off games for the new system but then at the end we get the reveal. Nice surprise. I liked that. And I also liked the console. I like the looks of both the PS5 and the Xbox Series X. Because I donât care what they look like. I never have. Outside of the television itself, Iâve never been particular to the looks of my equipment. Itâs not an aesthetic I genuinely have interest in. Itâs what the machine can do that sells me on it. Specs and price. Not design. And they havenât designed a system yet where Iâve changed my mind about getting it because it was ugly. Thatâs not how game systems work. Oh sure, I enjoy the memes and jokes on their design. Itâs some of the funniest stuff Iâve ever seen, but it doesnât sway ANYONE on getting a system. At least it shouldnât. Go where the games are that you want to play. Thatâs how itâs always been. And still, weâre clueless on price for both of these and thatâs still the part that REALLY holds my interest.
