A GAMER has re-imagined the PlayStation 5 with a sleek all-black finish – and some people think it looks BETTER than Sony’s original design.
Posting his effort to social media, artist Daniel Méndez crafted his version of the upcoming console after watching Sony’s official unveiling last week.
The Japanese firm revealed the PS5’s bold black-and-white design and a handful of its launch games during a livestreamed event on June 11.
“Personally I do not like white devices,” Daniel wrote on Twitter following the show.
“Today when I saw the presentation of the new PS5 I said, ‘if there was a black version I would buy it’.
“I gave myself 5 minutes to edit the render and here it is.”
Daniel’s design removes all the console’s white elements to produce a glorious, all-black console.
It got Twitter excited, with some users calling on Sony to implement the colour scheme when the PS5 hits shelves later this year.
“This is better,” one person wrote.
“Why do they think I want their machine to draw visual attention in my living room? That’s what fancy coffee tables and fake plants are for, Sony, HECK OFF!”
Another said: “I really wish they [Sony] could make a matte black one.”
However, not everyone agrees that a minimalist design with a single colour is necessary.
Sony has used an all-back colouring for its consoles since the PS2 was released 20 years ago, so perhaps it’s time for a change.
One Twitter user said: “You guys are tripping i’d rather have this ps5 design than some boring, indistinct big black box for the millionth time”.
