Now, we do not know if the black variant will be available for the public. It might even be just a discarded prototype. But people have expressed mixed reactions to it. On one hand, the PlayStation controllers and consoles have always been black, which makes PS5 the first time Sony has gone white. But we all agree that it looks elegant in a very sci-fi way. To be honest, the black variant with white buttons does not look like a product ready for the retail market.

We think the white console and controllers look way better than the black ones. But then, Sony might end up surprising us with a black colored console that looks really sick.
