for me the series x is the ugliest console in decades. the button placement, the connections placement, the weird dimensions, the colors. it looks like it has no taste, no finesse, truly a microsoft product. for this reason it stays out of sight. and then you boot it up and realise that the same lack of taste is evident in the os as well.
the ps5 on the other hand is just too big and heavy, otherwise it looks interesting, might not be at the same level of design finesse as the ps4. but to me it looks a bit more like a next gen console, more polished than the series x and this definitely holds true when you boot it up. and practicality wise i can open up the ps5 to clean, which is a major advantage. unfortunately it’s definitely a showcase device, and lots of folk don’t have the space for these kinds of devices. they do have space for boxy devices thou.
ha! I just remembered a anecdote of a friend, many years ago, telling me that he suspected that his internet was not working properly because perhaps the ethernet cable to his computer was to tight in a part of the installation. I remember I teased him by saying: Ah, sure, in fact, if you press well enough the cable the kilobytes are gonna start accumulating and the cable will might eventually explode! (like a hose)
Well, there's insufficient data to extrapolate numbers, isn't there? We have the owner of a repair shop reporting that he sees this issue frequently. It has to be common enough for him to see it, but nobody whose PlayStation works fine is coming to the repair shop.
