First PS5 devkit photo: Valid Verification or Very Vexing Vents?

Theres so many! Reading through the thread should be a must.
I wonder if this means the actual final product will feature V design motifs. It is the PS5 after all.
I would really like a fun design, but it probably wont as I'd assume it would increase price and well, yea.
Looks over-designed for a devkit, but then the PS4 devkit looked pretty silly too:
That beast even needs a power brick but looks smaller than the mammoth 360 and Xbox One bricks, well, flatter. Can't beat power bricks with their own fan, lol.

You are absolutely right - which makes me think that the defining design feature of this devkit (the V vent) has gotta be part of the final product. I mean they had to have crammed hardware into that specific shape for a reason.
I'm thinking that it might be a spot to charge/hold a VR headset. Ideally PSV VR would be wireless. We already know that consumer PSVRs will be compatible with the PSV (see: Wired coverage) so devs may be using those for now.
eh...Stadia is 10 tflops, Xbox One X is 6. 7-8 how years after XBX is PS5 launching again?
If that is the dev kit then surely the retail version will have the same cooling as the dev kit. It'd be real dumb to make the dev kit better at cooling then the retail version.
The timing of these two threads could be ironic.
Someone here read the thread and worked fast. Like really fast, fast.
lmao its just a plastic box dude, if someone thinks its ugly just put it out of sight i guess?
Same since it's not horrible looking with these colors but the size still is too big. As mentioned many times in various articles and threads, it probably won't have much in common with the final design

I really hope the retail PS5 looks nothing like that dev kit. That dev kit is possibly the most hideous console I've ever seen.
PS4 Dev Kit:
Yeah that's the one I saw went the did game testing for Detroit BH. Not sure what the other one in the thread is, PS4 Pro?
You've made this claim before, but I don't know why you believe a few hundred K moves the needle compared to the billions in revenue they make from game sales, network services and licensing each year... It's a rounding error at best.
prototype implies its a test version of what the final product might look like.I guess this Xbox 360 prototype was not a real prototype then.
Dev kit implies it's literally just functional hardware for development purposes, with the shell only existing to protect the components and not meant to reflect the hardware as a "product".
Just pointing out the obvious. The fact that it has the word prototype, doesn't mean it's fake, just like the picture I posted. I see this as the non final version of the development kit as it usually happens on all generations.
which one is? I was referring to the fact that the 360 prototype was labeled "prototype", not "dev kit". If it was a dev kit then that obviously is an important detail, but there's nothing there to imply it is.
interesting. was that the only one they ever sent out, or was it an iteration closer to launch? cause most of the dev kit examples in this thread don't look at all that close to final. (though i suppose it was white for the vanilla 360)
