Modern PlayStation consoles have been releasing with monochromatic colors like black and/or white. However, there have been limited edition anniversary colors released for the PS4 and PS5 consoles. I saw someone ask why they only made such limited quantities of the LE consoles and that made me wonder what most people would prefer for Sony to do for the PS6 - stick with the modern black/white color schemes or go back to the original colors?

[Bitstream]

No. Make it black, and make it sexy.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

The grey is classic and looks sleek as ever. I'd love it if they went back to it for PS6

 

[Comandr]

Hell I wouldn't mind if they went back to the original shape. Now that would be a collector's edition worth getting.

 

[Fahdis]

Black only.

 

[Sooner]

No, but they should have made the special edition the only edition for the Pro (and all future pros).

 

[El Muerto]

Classic colors or black. Hate white. I painted my plates and dualsense because the white stands out in my entertainment cabinet.

 

[Hrk69]

No, but they should have made the special edition the only edition for the Pro (and all future pros).

I like this idea!

 

[Magic Carpet]

Just don't make things shiny plastic scratch magnets.

 

[Hoddi]

I dislike these white/black color schemes in general and prefer to have some colors on my electronics. But what really kills me is manufacturers insisting on making all the cables black when most people have lighter colored walls. Apple figured this out decades ago and it's baffling that nobody else has.

8bitdo also deserves a mention here. They may go hard on nostalgia but their stuff usually looks rather nice. I want good looking furniture and consoles are also furniture.

 

[Fake]

Black, but with the 4 colors in the dualsense buttons.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Glossy Purple, a celebration for modern audiences.

 

[March Climber]

Only if they are trying to make it look cute again like the PS One

 

[Guilty_AI]

Make it red just to see if Nintendo would sue them

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

I would prefer if they go back to the PS2 style theme.

 

[hinch7]

All black or PS grey. Never really did like the white on black color scheme for this gen.

Make it matte as well.. glossy black plastic is the devil and should be banished from console exisitence.

 

[lh032]

white, grey and black.

win.

 

[Fess]

I didn’t get an anniversary Pro, so yes.
But as Sooner said they could have the classic color as the standard color for all Pro models.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

No.

The Limited Edition is cool looking because it's an anniversary edition, but that's about it.

 

[genesisblock]

Classic colours should remain a separate collectable product. Give us a new aesthetic / colour for each PS iteration.

 

[existensmaximum]

No it looks horrible. Black is 100000 times better, always.

 

[iamvin22]

Not feeling the white console at all.

 

[Dr.brain64]

Modern

 

[_Idea_of_Evil_]

It would be cool, but they won't because they'll likely always do a limited-edition classic colors release and make $$$$$$.

 

[Saturn Dragon]

It's not about the color.
It's about the design.

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

Black is always better. And how would they make limited edition special consoles if they went grey?

 

[Alan Wake]

Personally I prefer white. I got a white PS4, a white Xbox One, Xbox One S (which was easy) and Xbox One X. So I was pleased when Sony revealed the PS5 was white from the start.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Back in black. Other colors as an option.

 

[digital_ghost]

Black and white

I want a zebra themed console.

I want a commercial with toto. I hear my ps down in Africa.

 

[sono]

I am not too bothered if it is black or grey, just dont make as huge as the original PS5 please

 

[dmaul1114]

Black or white for me as that’s everything in my set up (including TV and TV stand).

 

[mansoor1980]

make it a red with a bit of blonde

 

[Judge Magister]

I prefer black but just fix the design. PS5 is the ugliest PS console by far, only debatable with PS3 Super Slim.

 

[Loomy]

Modern PlayStation consoles have been releasing with monochromatic colors like black and/or white.

Ackchyually, grey can be monochromatic too.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

I’d like something more minimalist and classy like the PS2/PS4

PS5 is a great machine, but it’s kinda ugly

I’d also like the coloured shape icons back on the controller buttons.

 

[Robb]

I’d love it and I’d buy that version for sure. But everything would have to be themed/be a callback to the original, like with the 30th anniversary edition. If they just push out a grey model I’m not interested:

I’d rather have black/white than the above.

 

[Sleepwalker]

The PS2 fat is the best one for me. That shit looked incredible back in the day. I am also fond of the fat ps3 so either scheme would be great for me.


I truly dislike the mostly white scheme, but not enough to give sony more money for plates.

 

[Roni]

And pass on the chance of charging a premium for it? Fat fucking chance.

 

[kevboard]

full retro

PS1 color scheme,
classic button colors return,
make a remastered, modernised version of the PS1 boot animation/sound as well!

 

[Topher]

I think the classic look should be reserved for limited editions. Wouldn't be special if every PlayStation looked like that.

Having said that, they need to change up the color scheme. No more black and white. And for the love of God, get rid of the glossy plastic.

 

[Quantum253]

You wouldn't be able to get the 40th anniversary PS6 and PS6 Pro then

 

[Quantum253]

I’d like something more minimalist and classy like the PS2/PS4

I'm a sucker for the PS2 design, color scheme, the whole system. I know there are some custome PS5s/4s with the design, but I'd love a Sony official version

 

[FoxMcChief]

Why, when they can get dummies to possibly double dip.

 

[Cakeboxer]

- Don't make it an ugly abomination
- Offer much more plates
- Don't charge fucking 60 Euro for some plastic
- Offer special editions without a retarded limitation

 

[Effigenius]

But then how would they trick people into paying $1000 for their limited editions?

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

PS6 will probably be all the colours of the rainbow…

 

[Topher]

But then how would they trick people into paying $1000 for their limited editions?

Huh?

 

[Silver Wattle]

Give me an OG PS2 design.

 

[Little Chicken]

 

[DenchDeckard]

Make it black and anything different from this God awful design of the ps5.
