Internet mocks new PlayStation 5 Slim for looking identical to existing console SonySony has revealed new PlayStation 5 designs, and the Internet is largely roasting them for looking the same as the originals or worse. Following months of rumors, Sony has revealed two new PlayStation 5 models, one standard and one digital only. The main selling point of these consoles \u2013 which are set to become the new standard models once the current inventory is sold out \u2013 is their lighter and slimmer design. They also come with 1 TB of storage, an increase from the original\u2019s 825 GB. While there are some improvements here, reactions to the PS5 redesign are pretty mixed to negative overall. PS5 slim design inspires some great memes Since the new PS5 design was unveiled, fans online have had some pretty funny reactions to it. Most have focused on the fact that the new consoles look pretty much exactly like the current PlayStation 5. In fairness to Sony, previous PlayStation mid-generation hardware revisions generally haven\u2019t looked that different from the originals. Anyone expecting a complete overhaul was really bound to be disappointed. Still, the slimmer design makes the standard edition\u2019s disc drive even more pronounced than that of the original. Others have pointed out that the announcement comes at a time when the future of PlayStation 5 exclusives is largely a mystery. Outside of this month\u2019s Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2 and next year\u2019s Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from Square Enix, we don\u2019t really know what Sony has in store. On top of that, most PlayStation games this generation are either cross-gen releases or have been ported to PC. As some have joked, the PS5 has almost as many console editions as it does exclusives. Though the additional storage and smaller design may be good news for those who haven\u2019t yet purchased a PlayStation 5, it seems the redesign isn\u2019t going to encourage many gamers to switch to the new hardware.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
