In its "The Future of Gaming Show" streamed live on Saturday locally, Sony unveiled the hardware of the much-awaited PS5 that immediately pulls a 180 from the trademark horizontal, black (excluding the PlayStation 1) style of its predecessors.
The controller’s buttons have also transitioned from the signature colors (pink, blue, red, green) to a uniform black-and-white.
Sony will offer two console options during launch: a PlayStation 5 console with an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive and a PlayStation 5 Digital Edition without a disc drive.
