The playstation 5 design has been released (pictured), It has been rumoured that the design has been seen to look similar to a wifi router.
Our first look at the new ps5 design and this was our first thoughts that it looks like a router yet most people look at a router and think yes that looks cool we also thought the same about the ps5 design and thought why would they go from the (classic) console design, laid flat, square, sleak yet functional.
Our thoughts are they have design this due to it’s high power/heat generated from the Power Supply, CPU & GPU, they have designed it to disperse heat as fast as possible by doing this design and standing the unit on its side this can be accomplished easy but our thoughts are if it’s going to need all this ventilation then it’s going to get very hot very fast, we all know devices that heat up fast and for long periods of time don’t last very long before they start having problems.

OK, this is bad! I just found out the PS5 preorders have already sold out. How did this happen? Were you able to get one? I’m so bummed I missed my chance…
