Hate it, thoughts were settled on reveal. In fact I bought PS4 Pro and decided to wait for PS5 Pro/redesign after the design was revealed (before launch).
I had much, much higher expectations after PS4, base model is one of the better console designs ever. But they must be doing something right -the system sells like hotcakes, mass market seems to adore it, and it very successfully differentiates itself from the last generation making it seem "new" and "different". Even if it's just color and a plastic shell, I guess these are real marketing considerations that matter more than hardcore gamer coolness.
