\"\" <\/p>\n

When the PlayStation 5<\/a> was first revealed last year, the console design was polarizing. On one end of the spectrum, PlayStation fans were excited about the new futuristic, sleek look. In contrast, other consumers were not as impressed, namely in regards to the white faceplates. Once the next-gen console launched, third-party companies began producing different colored faceplates, with black<\/a> being one of the most popular options on the market. Sony, for the most part, legally brought an end to those competitors. And now, the entertainment conglomerate has been granted its own patent for official PS5 faceplates.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

According to GameSpot<\/a><\/em>, the patent is listed as a \u201cCover for Electronic Device\u201d and comes paired with a few mock-up sketches of the PlayStation 5. The text within the patent claim mentions a \u201cSkin cover for PS5 console\u201d and \u201cthe ornamental design for a cover for an electronic device.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, this doesn\u2019t immediately equate to a future where Sony-labeled faceplates might be sold at your local electronic establishments. For all we know, nothing will come of this. But it\u2019s nice to imagine a new look for the PlayStation 5. Only time will tell what this patent means for the console\u2019s aesthetic.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Do you think this is simply Sony cornering the market without the intention of actually releasing faceplates? Or are we going to see this patent put to use? Throw down your theories in the comments below!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
