The reason it's large and v-shaped is to make them more easily stackable for devs who are running multiple stress tests.

Typically, dev kits look nothing like their equivalent launch products. The photo tallies with images from a Sony patent. So, what does the picture tell us? Not much. Some have suggested the DualShock controller in the image is the new DualShock 5, based on information gleaned from an official Sony patent. Others have tried to make out the text on the front of the consoles, but the image is too blurry to provide anything definitive. For context, PS4 and PS4 Pro dev kits are behind the PS5 dev kits in the photo. Where did the image come from? Here's @Alcoholikaust: Developer. The devkits have been out there a while this particular developer just didn't give a fuck apparently.- The Drunk Cat™ (@Alcoholikaust) November 30, 2019 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
