Right after Sony unveiled the design of its upcoming PlayStation 5, it became an instant meme on various social media platforms. However, according to the Xbox chief, the designs of these types of high-end gaming consoles are not for aesthetics only. Many factors come into play when it comes to designing a gaming console.
Coming to the design of the PlayStation 5, Spencer added “Knowing that the PlayStation 5 is running at higher clocks […] it creates unique design challenges in how you keep these things cool. They took an approach that’s different than the approach that we did [with Xbox Series X]. I haven’t been around a PlayStation 5 running, but I am sure that they had similar design goals for themselves around what it means to run, how it sounds, and how much power it’s drawing because those are things that we focused on and it led to the design that we have.”
