there was no reason for Sony not to make the PS3 stackable except ego
then they went ahead and made the slim variants not stackable too
@plsburydoughboy I like how whoever made this picture was so salty about the PS2 being the vastly more successful console that they didn't manage to cut it out correctly
it's just two rectangles on top of one another, this is what peak console and DVD player performance looks like
@noiob IIRC it's from a gaming magazine
@noiob oh also this was way before that thing was decided, possibly before the PS2 even got released
@noiob i wonder if there are like... 3d printed standoffs to stack ps3's with other consoles
same thing about the OG Xbox, the Xbox 360 redesign, the Xbox Series X (technically still a box but very impractical for stacking)
exempt: Xbox One because it needs ventilation at the top, any cartridge-using top-loader because that's the best design for loading cartridges, the Switch because it's got a good reason and anyways it's relatively small, the GameCube because it's baby
