PlayStation 4 Hardware 1

Sony laid out the design of the PlayStation 4 like an open book at its press conference earlier this evening – a fitting metaphor, considering the console kind of resembles a hard-back tome. The hardware has an angled surface to it, and has a pronounced split across the spine. There’s a splash of blue in there, which is definitely reminiscent of the PlayStation 2 days.

The question is: what do you think of it? Do you like the design, or do you think that it’s ugly? It’s definitely a lot more stylised than the Xbox One, which has a rather forgetful look to it. But that means that this is likely to prove much more divisive. Let us know your thoughts on the hardware in the comments section below.
