PlayStation just surprised fans by revealing the PS5 and while many fans are stoked about the futuristic console design, many others are not!

Sony’s Future of Gaming live event showed fans some exclusive games coming to PS5 – including sequels to fan favourite games along with new accessories… but the design was not well received by some.

Many people have already been comparing the design for the latest PlayStation to the rival console Xbox since the release of the DualSense controller and now the new PS5 design is being roasted on Twitter!

From looking like an internet router to a standing fan, netizens took it to Twitter to create PS5 memes on the console design.

Some even compared it to the Eye of Sauron from The Lord of the Rings, popped collars and characters to anime, cartoon and games.

I gotta say, modeling the PS5 after Sauron's Tower is an odd design choice for the console. Let's see if it pays off for them. pic.twitter.com/NcGYJHKGU3
