This is my take on the Playstation 5 Redesign after many Revisions and iteration on both the main console and the controller. As Being unsatisfied with what Sony came up with with the original one, i decided to finally bring this design to life after it kept nagging my head since the Sony unveil several months ago.
In short I wanted it to be more Elegant, Modern with hard edges and more angular shapes while being practical and Futuristic at the same time.

As you may notice, this design is only meant for vertical standing as I believe that it's very hard to design something appealing that is suitable for both vertical and horizontal use unless it has a boxy shape which limit your creative freedom and ideas in the first place.
I was aiming at a smaller form factor also, something that fit easily on any shelf without being too much space occupying or distracting .
Considering the huge increase of consumptions and heat dissipation in the latest generation GPU's, the heat sink grill had to play a major part on the overall design from both engineering and aesthetic part. Since i wanted to inject some sport automotive design on it, that's made a perfect excuse.
I spent more time working on the controller design and execution because I kept changing my mind regarding its overall shape, contrary to the console, I absolutely loved the original PS5 one but wanted to make something more angular and less Curvy with bigger gripping that its more reminiscent of the PSX controller .
