In a fairer reality, we would have already known what the PS5 would look like had last week's announcement gone as planned. Since Sony has yet to commit to a new date, we are left to the imagination of Internet artists to predict what the next generation PlayStation will look like when it is finally placed under our televisions.

And this latest design by PS5Only seems, on the surface, to be a likely candidate. It clearly shares some of the DNA of the devkit, which is a good start, but improves on it by looking more like a device that could appear in the Sony lifestyle picture.

If you prefer the colored version, another Twitter user, @jabka_ziizey, has your back. So is this what the PS5 will look like when it is taken out of the box later this year?

Don't bet against it. Using the development kit as a base is a good start, but filling the V-shaped gap in the back seems unlikely, given that it is designed for airflow. Also, assuming that Sony has improved the cooling performance and the missing part is no longer needed, it is unlikely that Sony would leave a reference to it, given the strength of the backlash on the Internet at the time.

Besides, there's a reason we've never seen a console with a disc tray in the middle before: it's a complete waste of space and seems like a strange move for a console that is already said to be twice as thick as the PS4 Pro.

So while this design may not be a million miles away from the final product, it's safe to say it's not quite there yet. Still, it's probably more accurate than another leak that's been circulating around:

As Reddit points out, this is a Photoshopped photo, and not a very good one. happythearthur's little research has revealed that this is a completely unrelated It turns out to be a photo of an event... Unless the people who were there saw the high-resolution motorcycle footage in between discussions about upcoming Sony hardware.

We'll have to wait for the rescheduling of the postponed "Future of Gaming" event. The original trailer has been updated with a description stating that Sony will "contact you soon with a new date." Given that rival Microsoft has an Xbox Series X event coming up in July, it would be surprising if "soon" did not mean "very soon indeed."
