Sony finally unveiled the design of the Playstation 5 last night and let’s just say it… stands out. It will fit right in next to your TV or desk because it basically looks like a Sky box or router and not exactly the sort of sleek, futuristic design people were expecting.

I’m sure it won’t actually put anyone off buying the console, but of course the memes have been flying in hot and heavy ever since the big reveal:

Good thing the console’s aesthetic is probably the least important element so long as the machine is powerful and the games are good.
