These renders keep getting worse and worse. This is the simplest and best looking one, imho (minus the controller):
Clean, stylish, plenty of ventilation.
I like this one. Gives me a PS2 + PS4 vibe.
Who put the logo upside down? Pretty bad.I dunno haha.. I thought they look the same dimensions as the DS4... maybe it's a bad angle....
Oh yeah it's a screen so buttons can go on the screen I guess..?
(I mean the length of the reveal event. People were chatting about it earlier in the page. Should have quoted, my b. Hahaha)
Correct me if I'm wrong.. but it was only after this financial call in 2013 that Sony announced Playstation Meeting 2013?
It looks like the Q3 report for FY2012 was on Feb 7, 2013, so the PSM was already announced before then
EDIT.
Damn you DeoGame
Ok, little bit of hope just disappeared. Let's hope we get some information for PS5 out of this..
:(
What do you think we could potentially hear today regarding PS5?

It might depend on what sort of questions the investors ask. They could point out that the PS4's meeting had been announced at this relative point in time so what's going on there. They could ask about Sony and Microsoft's MOU.
I'm hoping for some tidbits to keep us going, but I'm not expecting anything even remotely close to a megaton from this. I'm more excited to get this out of the way to see what happens on the 5th or in the few days afterwards. If they are doing an actual event that requires press to be present before the end of Feb then invites should probably be going out in the next week. We're at the point where quite literally anything could happen on any random weekday.
I cant create these renders, but what I would love to see is something Bold, Different, yet grounded in reality.
Most of these renders are either too close to the past designs, and the rest dont make sense in terms of ventilation, or airflow.
I agree,anything could happen at any time. In some ways, this reminds me of when the Dreamcast's marketing campaign kicked off and they were showing all these weird demos, fish with human heads etc etc. And Sony pretty much only said "That isn't next gen...." and that message got so hyped.. people were in as much suspense as they are now. The difference being back then... there was atleast an E3 you knew you would get a blowout of information at.

I'm a bit torn. On the one hand I like the predictability of something like an E3 showing so I can plan well in advance to book time off work. In fact I had it all perfectly planned to book 2 weeks off to play TLOU2 and enjoy E3, but of course those plans are gone now unless Sony plans another big event around the same time.
On the other hand this unpredictable thing they've got going on is kinda exciting. Anything could happen at anytime and each day is an adventure into the unknown. The community excitement only grows as each day passes and that feeling when we finally get an announcement is gonna feel epic.
I'd say they've done a good job of managing hype so far and not teasing or over-promising on anything yet. They've given us plenty of tidbits to sink our teeth into over the past year and slowly built up the hype a bit more with each announcement. Now we're just in a holding pattern while we wait for all hell to break loose :)
And may I say, thank you to all the insiders who know things but who AREN'T spilling their guts to tell us everything they know. For whatever reason y'all are holding back info and because we're so close to the actual reveal I would much rather hear it from the horses mouth than be spoiled weeks in advance and the only thing I have to look forward to is info that I already know. The months and years of speculation was a helluva lot of fun and the info given by insiders made the wait tolerable, but we're so close to the finish line we might as well just let it run its course and see what they've got for us.
Well, it's been quite a rush. Last generation, in the run up,we had basically most of the detailed specs well before Playstation Meeting.
I think at this point, Sony controls the hype entirely. My mind is racing to even imagine what the box looks like. This entire end-game reveal is in their court now, use this momentum to launch into next gen with a blowout at the right time. Or.. they could completely ruin it and hurt their great start to next gen. But... I think they know what they're doing here.
Im expecting to be blown away... and the moment they give out their Playstation Meeting date, I think Era will go down lol.
Quite a few. This article details a bunch of them with the architects.

I actually think it's pretty bad. The video that comes with it is even worse. The UI in the controller is just mediocre. It looks like something made in the early 2000s. Also "disc-less" lol.
The best design to me will forever be this one:
More here
This design is unique, clean, sleek and functional. It's just very aesthetically pleasing. It also looks amazing in every color. This is a well designed product by a very good designer. The majority of mock-ups are usually made by people that know how to use the software, but are just terrible at designing something with at least a bit of class. The person that made this is just an amazing designer
I mean, look at the care put into this design:
The other one I kind of like is this one:
Also clean and sleek, but nowhere near the level of the first one I posted. I also am aware that the sizes are probably too small to keep cool. Anyway, the further away we are from slants, the better. Slants was such an awkward design choice for PS4.
Someone should make one that looks like an old iPod Video.I actually think it's pretty bad. The video that comes with it is even worse. The UI in the controller is just mediocre. It looks like something made in the early 2000s. Also "disc-less" lol.

I know I'm in the small minority when it comes to next gen console design, but I want something bold, and maybe even a little garish. The PS5 dev kits actually got me kind of excited for what we could be seeing. Then people started mocking up a bunch of featureless gray bricks.
Kudos to MS for the Series X design though. It may not be as ostentatious as I'd like, but it's definitely bold.

I think it will be taller than any renders so far. Not as tall as the XSX, but definitely not PS4 thin.
Well we get tweet immediately from zhuge and the nibel and the likes
I guess it depends on where they are from cause it's going to be pretty late in the US (3am EST/12am PST).
Zhuge is in London. So it will be 8am about for him. There's a chance!
Zhuge is already tweeting non-stop about the Sony earnings. Down as expected sales wise so far, 25% on hardware in q4 compared to last year.
You know, the red, grey, black and white one. I remember a freakin render from a 1999 Playstation magazine look 99% like it lol. For what the PS2 coud look like lol.I actually think it's pretty bad. The video that comes with it is even worse. The UI in the controller is just mediocre. It looks like something made in the early 2000s. Also "disc-less" lol.

I don't think they would put such fast SSDs if they wouldn't be properly utilised until halfway through the generation. Having said that I do think PC will lag behind. But PCs have the advantage of flexibility. Part of the reason for the fast SSD is to provide virtual RAM. PC can add real ram. So I do see a possibility that minimum/recommended specs increases the ram which would help offset a slower SSD/hdd

I am quite sure that never to this level of care and quality.
Nope, but the general shape, asthetic and throwback to the round PS1 shape disc tray inspiration is what connects them. The 1999 pic actually had a freakin LCD screen connected to the top of it lol.

Insane. Sony could very well hit 120 million units this fiscal year and they made $12B from PSN alone. I said it before and I'll say it again: it would not surprise me if Sony loss leads by building a $500 PS5 and cutting the price to $399–449.
Before when you didn't have the backing of digital services and sales, that kind of move was calculated greatly. Now, you have the backing of digital and know that it's only going to increase as you head into next gen? Why wouldn't I loss lead to not only be comparative to my competition, but beat them again on price as I did last generation? It's free real estate.
PS4 sales are probably why Sony is really dragging out the PS5 reveal so not to take the spotlight off of PS4.
They're on a sharp decline as expected. Tell us about PS5 now thanks.
