Bring back faceplates.

(But yeah, I'd prefer a not-boring-old-black console.)

Agreed. Sadly I will not have the restraint to hold out for white as I did for the Xbox this gen.

For PlayStation I still have an affinity for silver, if the design fits. Silver PS2 slim was so nice.

I legit rebought a PS4 Pro with Destiny 2, a game I don't even care about, just because I wanted the white console. I really only care because it matches better w/my entertainment center.

Please no, white electronics eventually become piss yellow or doo doo brown, even if they're taken care of...

Every PlayStation since the PS2 has looked much better in white, same goes for the Xbox One.

If there should be any variants, They should have a Steel Black. It's a nice balance and I feel it's always the most sold controller colour where I live.

My white xbox one that came with sunset overdrive is a lovely looking piece of kit, the only white console i've had and i'd totally buy a white ps5.
Don't know why they don't offer more colour variants really.

Fortunately controllers will be backwards compatible so we have that. But yes, white variants would be awesome. I think they aren't created not only because of production but also because of marketing/messaging (Xbox S is a new model and white, etc..)

Then how will they get you to buy their consoles again when Destiny 3 comes out with an exclusive white console? Give me translucent blue instead though

Aesthetically speaking.... Xbox One S >>> Xbox One X.

I even paid 50€ more to have this beauty:

"10 years of passion"

Jesus' passion didn't last 10 years
the playstation brand was 10 year old at the time of that ad.

I'm sure you can get a D Brand skin in whatever color you want when the consoles release.

Not that I don't sympathize, I have a white PS4 Pro and I like it a lot.

Releasing a new line of hardware is a massive underaking with immense logistical nightmare. They already struggle with supply and different regions, so adding extra bundles and/or console variants kinda falls in the priority list.

Still it would be nice if they got more visual variants of the console around the launch window

I'll take "Logistics nightmare during an already stressed production time" for $500, Alex.

As much as I love white electronics, this ain't happening.

I thought I liked white electronics until I looked at my shelves and see that literally every device on it is black or gray (PS3, 360, Wii U, PS4, XB1, Switch, Vita, 3DS). LOL

Previous generations were different though.

TBH, if the XSX had come in basically the same shell as the 1X, color and all, with just minor differences, I'd be fine with that.

But everyone knows that white consoles are for dirty casuals! You want them to scare away their super serious hardcore gamer buyers?

Ayup.

At this point, we'd be lucky if they had anywhere near adequate stock with even one SKU.

And if they did want to produce multiple SKUs, I think adding a larger SSD option to boost their margins would be more likely than adding a second color.

They can release it a year later to get a second wave of headlines and help keep the product fresh, just like how Nintendo usually avoids releasing all their product colors at launch.

Yup, love white consoles. Wish I didn't sell my white XB1X last year because it looked amazing next to my white PS4 Pro. :(

PS here's my white Vita <3

do we know if the white 360s get discolored like SNES and Dreamcasts of the past?
I preferred white consoles but stopped buying them cause of that (I didn't get a 360 until the Elite, not that potential discoloration was the reason why).

Yes please. If it's not white, I literally can't have it in my main living room, where everything is white
