This kind of consoles are long gone. If we want power, we have to accept big boxes.
I got black plates for my PS5. Got good feedback from a teen about them so they must be cool!
Nah you'll pay $40 for the luxury of having a non-ugly console lol
Really that's my biggest ? for this story... how does their side-plate grift fit into this?
Kinda hoping that idea was a flop and they abandon it.
I don't think they are totally gone... they can be bigger than the ones I put in the images.
I think it all depends on the Pro model price and what they want in it..... what type of cooling they can get in there and the die size.
Have you seen what's packed into a Mac Studio with the M1 Ultra? It's a tiny, basically silent, box that stomps a PS5 and runs on 60 watts. Yeah I know it's way more expensive but those designs could definitely be done.

Because the USB port is towards the back of the unit and the cable would connect the drive to the port so the system can use it (and presume also provide power).
That's how I interpreted the reading, anyhow.
I think it's still a stretch to think we might get mid-gen Pro models this time around, and I do personally think if anything's holding back games, it's time for AAA development and budgets needing to match accordingly. Ask anyone back in 2013, even 2015 or 2017 if they thought the base PS4 could pull off something like TLOU Part 2 or HFW. They would tell you no; they would tell you you'd need more powerful systems, hands down.
And yet those games look amazing on a base PS4 and run very well on it, too. It was just a matter of time, budget, manpower, and engine maturity. Those things aren't wholly dependent on constantly new, more powerful console hardware. By the end of this gen we'll have games running on base PS5s and Series X systems that we couldn't probably dream of right now.
Well, yes and no. True the consoles don't have the dedicated silicon for RT tasks the way Nvidia's GPUs do, but I don't think the raw hardware is the only way we'll see visual improvements.
Don't forget that AAA dev is mostly a thing due to consoles, not PC. PCs at the spec configuration of the consoles simply don't exist as a large enough customer base to help facilitate the revenue many $100 million/$200 million huge AAA games need or desire. OTOH consoles themselves can reach well into 70 million, 90 million, 100+ million install base territories.
Visual splendor for games on console will continue to improve both at technical level and artistic level as the install base grows, engines mature, more dev time is provided and budgets for AAA development grow. Inevitably this should also mean things like RT improve over time as well. We already have games like Miles Morales that can do RT (granted, it's not GI RT) with up to 100 FPS, that's an early effort for this gen that should bode well going forward, at least for 1P exclusives, if before seeing similar type of stuff for 3P games. But it's also going to depend a lot on the design of the game, and what can realistically be handled.
I'd love something like that for a PS5 Slim. There are some other cool designs too, like:
Really fond of the last one there. Anything official that could be visually inspired at least in part by some of these designs would be a treat.
