I thought the PS5 design looked familiar, and apparently Zotac think so, tooSpot the difference

Spot the difference

We already know there are loads ofPlayStation 5 games coming to PC, but now it seems the entire look of Sony’s new space age console box is also borrowing a fair bit from existing PC case designs. Specifically,Zotac’s MEK1mini PC, as theirItalian Facebook pagerecently asked fans to “spot the difference” between the two machines, and yep, I’m definitely having a hard time telling those two things apart right now.

However, while Sony may be keeping quiet about the exact size of the PS5, that hasn’t stopped the internet from trying to make some educated guesses since its big reveal last Thursday based on the size of the official render’s Blu-Ray drive - and the results of their findings suggest there may be more to that innocuous Facebook post than you might think.

Could Zotac’s MEK1 mini PC be a glimpse of what’s to come with the PS5?

In short, it would appear that console gamers are finally discovering what it feels like to own a PC, so maybe Zotac’s jokey MEK1 comparison isn’t actually that far off the real thing. All will be revealed once Sony cough up those all important dimension figures. On the plus side, if consoles are indeed bulking up to the size of miniature gaming PCs, then maybe we’ll finally start seeing some TV cabinets that are big enough to hold a proper PC going forward, because man alive what I wouldn’t give to be able to tuck my living room PC under the TV instead of plonking it on the floor next door. A girl can dream, can’t she?
