Front vents are to suck air in. Hot air comes from the rear. And agree, hope they go PS5 and not V.

V has come to (PS5 dev kit design?)

I believe that's pretty old, remember reading about that in 2018. I believe that to be PSVR related.
It won't. SONY always try to make good design for High Tech, not this "Alienware and MSI had a baby".
Assuming this is a real dev kit. (And even if it's that, I do not believe the final design will look like it as mentioned earlier)
1. We haven't seen it besides drawn concepts, and may never get to see it in our entire lifes.
2.They could still get something out of this design with a good colour like black/silver.
3.Looks different when you look at it with your own eyes.

PlayStation 4 Unboxing Exclusive: A First Look at Sony's New Game Console-Gadget Lab-WIRED
We got the PlayStation 4! Sony’s new console comes out on November 15 in the US, but we went to Sony’s Tokyo HQ and asked engineering director Yasuhiro Ootor...

I feel like OP should make it clear that dev kit =/= retail hardware. In joking around, their post makes it sound like this has the potential to be on store shelves.
Not servers, but people who work on multiplayer will have multiple kits on their desks to get two or more players in the same local session. You can get a co-worker to help if they're not using their kit for their own work and you can see their screen from where you sit, but you can't rely on that always being possible, therefore...
How much time, money and energy have they spent designing a dev kit! The Sony hubris could be on PS3 level again. Worrying.
Looks like it was designed by a 13-year-old boy who was raised inside of a giant Alienware case by a sentient original Xbox.
Before release, they usually look like one of two things: a plain computer tower with console branding, or an early evolution of the final consumer hardware. Or in Nintendo's case, a plain box full of electronics.
The devkit case would have 'interesting' noise/cooling characteristics. It is possible that the design is intended to replicate the airflow of the final case (if not the appearance).
That's fair. I imagine we'll see the box before the end of the year. The most important thing for me is the noise. I hate playing on my pro
"PSV" would look much cooler, but I think it's too close to "PSVita", so Sony will probably stick with the PS5 moniker. Either way, it'll still be referred to as the "PlayStation 5", most likely.
That is one of those hideous designs that will always be brought up in future threads like the Nitnendo win button and PS3 banana controllers.
Dev kits are normally fairly non-descript boxes.
However this has features found on other PS4 dev kits - e.g. various debug buttons and lights on the front. Outside of the unusual design on top, it looks very Playstation dev kit-esque.
I don't think that design on top is just for adornment or aesthetics. I'd guess it's serving on airflow purpose. I don't think there'd be such a conspicuous design element in a dev kit 'just because'.
For a dev kit? Sure they would. The PS4 dev kits aren't exactly prize peaches from an aesthetics point of view. Aesthetics is not the point for a dev kit.
I would love to see a PS5 design where you can plug in a PS4 like an old-school cartridge. That would be fun.
Please for the love of God don't call it PlayStation V!
I appreciate its 5 in roman numerals but just stick to 5 and don't try any fuckery with your naming convention. That's the main thing that killed the Vita because anyone who wasn't following the industry had no idea there was a PSP2 out.
As for the design, I will hold my tongue since it seems to be the dev kit version and ultimately it doesn't matter since what it does is more importance but that is not a sexy machine which is what I have come to expect from Sony consoles. Hell, even the wife calls the 60gb PS3 a sexy beast.

It's hideous but actually a pretty smart design from a cooling perspective in a media centre environment. The major issue sitting on a shelf is the limited depth, width wise most shelves have more than enough clearance to ensure hot air is effectively removed. Suck in air from the centre, have the SoC cooler ejected on one side and PSU on the other. It would drastically reduce operational temps.
Depends on if the Sony engineers were just having a bit of fun, or if this is just some scrapped/concept design. I mean it seems bizarre that a dev kit would need this kind of venting system, even if it were running hot. It would be more practical to downclock the chipset or stick water cooling in the unit, until better chips were ready.
Weird stuff.
That's a devkit. There's no way they'd dare try to put that on store shelves unless Ken's back in the building. The thing looks like it would've been a scrapped prototype for the original Xbox.
That said, it'd be fun if they did try to sell this, just for the outrage.

I wonder if they are actually calling it Playstation V, I just remembered this trademark from Sony
Probably best to clarify this before it gets any notoriety again. This trademark has nothing to do with Sony, it belongs to Vodafone. The reason people associated this at the time with SIE was because it was originally filled by a company and a representative that had filled trademarks for Sony in the past. It wasnt a good indication then and proved to be unrelated to Sony since.
