The man who designed the look of the PS4
From its sleek angles to minimalist footprint, the original PS4 was largely championed for its design while the Xbox One drew comparisons to the VCRs of yesterday.
Further revisions to Sony’s next-gen console took a bit of a different approach – the Slim sliding into the background and Pro opting for a stacked approach – but its design ethos largely remained intact.

And if you’ve primarily been playing on the PS4, the selection has been pixel perfect paradise so long as you appreciate single player games.
