I like the design of the Nintendo Switch

RaiderNation704d ago

I like the digital model without the weird protruding disk drive. Standing vertically it looks cool. Horizontally it looks clumsy and weird.

Hofstaderman703d ago (Edited 703d ago )

I agree but stand horizontally nonetheless. I never quite got over that liquid metal settling at the bottom of the well news and dont feel like risking uncovered spots on the gpu.

PS Portal also has a beautiful finish

Einhander1972703d ago

I like that the console and the controllers have sand blasted PlayStation symbols all over, very cool.

Hofstaderman703d ago

Just got the midnight black shells. Damn, it looks like Darth Vader's console now.

Petebloodyonion703d ago

Same here! I find the PS5 design bold and futuristic It's in my top 3 design-wise (others would be X360 and Gamecube).

Xbox x and ps5 I think are pretty dope. Switch ain't bad either looks wise. Writer is tripping.

Love the PS5 design tbh. Best looking PS there is for me (of course art is subjective. But I'm tired of boring looking black boxes)

NotoriousWhiz703d ago (Edited 703d ago )

I'll take a boring looking box over one that that's thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis big. PS5 nor Series X fit on a standard size shelf, nor a standard sized media cabinet. Also, series X is not only huge, but also boring.

i quite like the ps5s design, but it could be abit smaller i feel like.

but the ps3 qlwas also a massive console. so i dont rly mind.

andy85703d ago

I changed mine to the Slim, its surprisingly quite a bit smaller

NotoriousWhiz703d ago

I had a nice spot on my media center for my PS3. When I upgraded to the Ps4, I removed the PS3 and put the PS4 in that spot. When I upgraded to the PS5, the PS5 would not fit and I basically had to do some minor renovations to accommodate its size.

I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise

We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.

Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.

Scissorman42d ago

it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.

This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
