You must be an LLM with no concept of aesthetics since most people agree the PS5 is an ugly monstrosity. Unless you are living in a dorm, it looks out of place in most adult living rooms. Meanwhile the Xbox is a simple, modern black box, literally the exact opposite of how you’re trying to paint their hardware and trust me, I’m no Microsoft fan. Give me a break.

Maybe stop and think if you’d react the same way to someone critiquing the product market fit of a workplace chat product. If not, then ask yourself why is a preference for a video game console a core part of your identity to the point where you feel under attack when someone doesn’t like what you like.
Also I never once mentioned PlayStation - this is HN, not an IGN comment section. We talk about technology from the POV of the people who make it, not “gamers” or whatever.
All I’m saying is if you feel that way about a black box then I’m curious what you’d say about the PlayStation since that is clearly more fitting to your original comment. My identity isn’t under attack either, couldn’t care less what you stick under your tv or what you think of what’s under mine.
You look at your console while playing? I don't. I also don't have it in display in my living room, it's nicely tuckes away from eyes.
Don't mind me asking, judgind by your posts so far in this thread but.. do you have sex with your Xbox?
You sound like typical r/XboxSeriesX poster

PS5 is really the only one of the two with any kind of a design identity to it. The Xbox Series is just a box.

At least the name is accurate.
> You must be an LLM
That's a new kind of insult LOL. In my case, the slimmer side of PS5 barely fits my setup in a small room. Maybe my case is uncommon, but Xbox Series X won't fit my setup.
“People I disagree with are LLMs” is a terrible stance and awful way to continue a discussion. People can have different opinions to you.
Having said that I do personally agree that physically the Xbox looks better. The software experience of the Xboxes I’ve used, however, really do remind me I’m using a Microsoft device.
