I really don't like the current design of the PlayStation 5 and I hope that the new one will be redesigned to be smaller and less… ugly. What I'm also hoping is that it will be permanently cheaper, like the £75 discount that's going on in the summer sales. I'd say I'm taking a risk by not buying the current model right now but to be honest I haven't got the money at the moment and was banking on getting it near Christmas (possibly during Black Friday). So I hope that I can finally pick up a next gen console that's both better looking and cheaper than what came out at launch. Drang Only option I don't think the Switch 2 is going to be at Gamescom. Maybe Nintendo will be meeting developers about it, maybe even showing it off to them, but I don't expect we'll see any sign of it in public and it sure isn't going to be something people can see and play there. I think, I mean I know it's Nintendo but in this instance I feel pretty confident about predicting I'm right. For me the only timeline that makes sense is announcing it next summer and releasing it at Christmas. If they announce it this summer or autumn they ruin sales of the original this year. If they announce it early next year, they upset everyone that got a Switc){kind=link}
