Nah, white looks best. Just make sure it's not such a retarded, unbalanced design as the PS5.

 

[Forsete]

At least they should go back to the colored buttons and PS-logo.

 

[Yoboman]

GameCube purple handbag is the only way

 

[Codes 208]

Ps2 black > ps1 gray

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

No, please no, this old computer grayish is so fugly.
Make it shine with a bluetiful color like the PS4 Pro 500 millions !

 

[acm2000]

Fuck no, matte black or gtfo

 

[Celcius]

Wow, I didn’t expect to wake up and see the poll perfectly split 47-47

 

[Stu_Hart]

They can keep the grey color and make it cooler, but that old logo looks outdated.

 

[yogaflame]

With all due respect, why are we talking about ps6? I think its a long way to go, maybe 4 more from now. And ps5 OG is still doing well and for me it is still an impressive hardware.

I think with the availability of plates the colour of the console they launch with is not really as important as the design

I've noticed this too. In every Pro thread in the past there was somebody complaining how this gen hasn't got off the ground yet with the base consoles, now everybody is talking about next gen. What gives?

 

[DryvBy]

Give me an OG PS2 design.

Is this a wrap? Because that's what I'm going to do to my original PS5 if so. That looks so good.

 

[Unknown?]

I want stainless steel!

 

[Bond007]

No.
As much as I love PSX and its grey look- there are other successful Sony consoles that could tap into. The PSX/PS1 thing has been done enough times already.
Lets give PS2 some love next.

It's probably a wrap, I just did a quick google and got this as the top results: https://kocustomcreations.com/retro-ps-ps5-console-skin/

There are other sites with differing versions.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

They could but they won't. They know they can cause way more press and hype selling the grey color every generation as a special and ultra-limited one.

Fanboys who payed USD 10.000 to scalpers for a Pro Anniversary if Sony does this:

 

[Felessan]

asfalt grey is the wors choice for many situations. Even white is miles better.

make it a red with a bit of blonde

WTF is this (iphone) color. I so want it...

 

[EverydayBeast]

We may get three PS6 variants at launch (iPhone 16, 16Pro, 16 Plus) and I’m telling you colors don’t matter at all.

 

[soulbait]

Matte black, so it just disappears in my entertainment center. I don't need my consoles being a conversation piece.

 

[reinking]

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

I would like one of two things. As you said, go back to this for general release and keep the classic color for limited editions. Or the opposite, go to the classic color for general release and go with this color scheme for limited editions. It doesn’t bother me but I believe the all white panels do not work well for the PS5 because it makes it look even larger compared to other consoles.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Yes

 

[midnightAI]

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

I think the PS5 design has stood the test of time way more than my Series S. The S is just so damn boring whereas the PS5 I quite like (grown on me more and more over the years) but that limited edition Pro looks awesome. But it's everyone's personal opinion at the end of the day.

 

[ThaMonkeyClaw]

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?

vs

Or a mix of both, I think the black front and line/grill on the side mixed with the PS1 gray panels would look really good together, I am hoping they at least release the PS1 gray panels so I can at least change those on my PS5 Pro

 

[AJUMP23]

They should revert back if they want to lose market share.

 

[Randall365]

Grey looks shit - and I say that as someone who was absolutely delighted to buy the Playstation (when it was reduced) back in Spring 1997 and loved that console for several years. Keep white or black. Didn’t really get the appeal of the 30th anniversary edition if the Pro - forced to buy the accessories with it and wait two weeks more to get one.

 

[U n i o n 0015]

Just make shells so that people can easily customize it.

 

[Ovek]

Best looking Playstation by far.

 

[MadchesterManc]

PS6 should just come in a PS5 sized OG PS2 case.

 

[recursive]

Make it purple to appeal to the modern audience.

 

[Dorfdad]

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

What kind of paint did you use? I’m painting my pro ASAP can’t stand white consoles

 

[Dorfdad]

Huh?

That’s not the pro.

 

[Topher]

That’s not the pro.

That is a limited edition. He didn't say anything about the pro.

 

[Gojiira]

Theres only two correct answers.
Original Gray with coloured Icons
Black with the PS2 coloured Icons.
Only two correct choices.

 

[chokotoureiki]

Nah, make it gold, or at least provide some gold trims.

 

[Kacho]

It would appeal to me, so sure. Either that or a PS2 look. Do that and make a smaller device and I'd be more likely to jump in.

 

[j0hnnix]

ill take the color and the form factor.. i really do not like how the PS5 looks. Its horrible to lay in my HT Cabinet.

 

[JMRM]

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

Exactly about the buttons. Why the hell did they remove them? Also made it easier for our brain to identify the correct one if they have a colour

 

[Fake]

Yeah. Can't understand why.

I have three dualsenses, the red is pretty beautiful, but without the colors on the button all feel souless.

 

[Kvally]

Black, thank you.

 

[MrJangles]

Unquestionably. The best compliment I can pay the anniversary model is I wouldn't hide it behind my tv. Hell, cram the Ps6's internals into a bigger PS1 unit and be done with it

 

[Mahavastu]

tbh, as long as changing the color / cover is as easy as with the PS5, this is not really that important to me

 

[Holammer]

I don't do consoles, but the classic PS1 colours are super sexy.
I'd love to get PC cases with oldschool grey/beige instead of fucking black.

 

[El Muerto]

What kind of paint did you use? I’m painting my pro ASAP can’t stand white consoles

Found this at an outlet store for cheap so got a couple cans of it. Looks shiny in the sun. Sprayed a couple coats on both the plates and the controller. Probably not the best paint job but looks decent. It isnt real thick like the cheap spray paints.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

How about not going back to anything and just keep doing what they do and create something different?

Why would you want to make a new product that looks similar to something you did over 30 years ago?

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Just buy some generic plates off Amazon, can look just like this recent LE regular PS5

 

[DanielG165]

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

It’d probably blow itself up from lack of heat dissipation.

 

[Dorfdad]

Wonder how long it will take for ps5 pro plates they white just looks cheap and distracting in my entertainment system.

The slim plates look nearly the right size to me but who knows how they attach on the pro

I think you can use slim plates that are already out, no?
