@FullbringIchigo Later models of the normal PS4 (ie not the the slim and pro) have physical on/off and eject buttons. They still do not stand out enough for me and feel a bit flimsy.
I can't see Sony going back to the ps1 design after many years of black oblong-ish designs.

I know some don't care about looks but a good design helps with a first impression. People popped at the og ps4 design and people were impressed with how switch looked when revealed.
@WebHead@Frigate It matters, but for me it is pretty low down on the list. If both consoles were tied on everything, you would naturally go for the black box which you are attracted to the most.
The OG XBO design was horrible. Ditto the PS4 pro.

I wonder if the core system could based on flash and you could have an option to slot in a hard disk drive like a giant memory card. It certainly will be nice to have a bit of flash so you don’t have to reinstall your operating system when you change the hard disk.
@JohnnyShoulder I like the Ps4 Pro design. It's a Ps4 with another slice of Ps4.
@WebHead I think the wii u controller looked like a leap pad for kids. It was a really bad design imo.
@seanobi My console has no lights and looks cool. Looks in the mirror with the VR over my head looking like a knockoff Cique de solei Comedy club light show act.

@Feena Whilst I'm pretty sure that black is here to stay, I'd love the PlayStation5 to look more like a PSone than any other previous console. Especially if the rumours of the next generation being the last "traditional" console generation prove to be true. Would make the PlayStation legacy a nice, neat circle.

While I probably won't be buying one - I think the base PS4 design is spot on. So nothing too far from that. The PS4 Slim and the Pro are well butters!
Also, I would like the DualShock4 to continue through to PS5. Improve internals on new units (battery etc) but keep the deign the same. It's nice, it works and would represent a huge saving for Sony and for consumers.
Also, the optics to be able to say 'there was no reason to redesign and charge more again for a new controller' would be pretty good.

@RogerRoger This gen was also supposed to be the last one for traditional consoles and be massive flop, so I wouldn't pay too much attention to those rumours.

@Feena Actually it'd screw with my OCD because all my tech is black, but I just think it'd be a nice way to indulge in a little nostalgia, s'all. My own living room is very black-and-white!
@JohnnyShoulder Oh, I know. I'll just use anything that helps support my case for what I want.
@RogerRoger I forgive you this time, but only this time.
Yeah I could not have non black console with my current setup, it would annoy the hell outta me. My neon switch is just about bearable and only one side is poking out from the side of the TV, so is not really noticeable.
