PS5 or XSX: which looks better?

There's an Era thread.  I'm a little surprised by the results. Was curious what people thought.

ps5 for me.  I like that sony is actually taking more of a risk with their design, but it helps i do really really like it.

Series X was first revealed as this brutalist avant garde monolith. No console has ever looked even remotely similar. It's divisive and proud of it.


And yet PS5 makes it look "safe" lol. I love how crazy the PS5 design is. Might age horribly but gosh darn am I a fan.

(the series x disc drive looks so bad imo on the side)

Pretty much how I feel.  

PS5 (lump), as I've said like 3 times already, gives me strong ps3 vibes. And I really like it.  

XSX on its side similarly is my least favorite. It looks like a brick and worse yet it has a round stand on its side for the vertical position.  Not super noticable, but when you see it, it's very much like a brick with a wheel on its side.

i like ps5 as a piece of art.  not sure if i'll like it soo much in my house because it is a bit attention grabbing.  not something i've ever wanted in a conole.  i'm just fine with my black ps4 disappearing into my black stand.

series x is, imo, in the running for ugliest console ever.  for me series x is very much summed up by this:

I like them both, they both look super weird on their side though. XSX looks better to me, I love designs like that.
