Is that really the takeaway? Surely it's that anything designed in 2020 that requires perching on a stand in both orientations is shit design.
The PS4 was solid design, if thermally a bit shit, but the PS5 is a joke.Also, the Series X fits in my AV cabinet in both orientations...
I know this is starting to sound like I'm on an anti PS5 mission but surely people can't think the PS5 looks good??

The ps5 design has honestly grown on me. I also like the idea of there being a bit of extra space inside to make it easier if I end up needing to take it apart at some point. Although someone's just compared it to the PS3 which was hideous so I guess we'll see when it arrives. But really all I want in a new console design is a rotating logo like the PS2 but they're keeping me waiting.
I thought you couldn't turn the Series X sideways?
I'm not sure why the stand is needed when it's upright. I have a feeling they needed to include it for when on its side and they decided to make it fit vertically too so it doesn't get binned immediately

Things to note are that yes the S is tiny but the Series X won't fit anywhere, whereas the taller but slimmer PS5 can go sideways and fits in the standard 7'' opening in an A/V cabinet. Also that TV is a weird size, like 36 inches or something.
