An image of the PlayStation 5 development kit and DualShock 5 controller have appeared online via Twitter. The image features two PS5 dev kits with the DualShock 5 controller sitting on top of one of them.
View the image below:
The leaked PS5 dev kit looks the same as the one that was also leaked recently.
The dev kit for the PS5 features the same V shape that was seen in the leaked render. V in Roman Numerals stand for the number five, so the shape could be a nod to the name of the console.
The top left of the front panel features the text "Prototype 1 Not For Sale." There also appears to be six USB ports, as well as an opening where a disc can be inserted.
The PlayStation 5 will launch in Holiday 2020.

If it ain't broke...
Do we know for sure that's a DS5?
The final console design will not look like that for sure, you can look at the PS3 dev kit it was nothing like the final product. As for DS5, the design will be pretty similar to DS4 with some subtle difference and with many more features
And yet 99% of dev's haven't even seen a Scarlett dev kit by all reports....
If they didn't say it is a DS5 people would think it is a DS4. And we already seem the devkit before =p
Was hoping for a new look to those PS face buttons. Meh.
To confuse anyone playing backwards compatible games?
Never had a paint of a button wearing off, and I use the controller daily for about 2h on the last 6 years.
It really looks like a Dual Shock 4. If this should be the final design for the new controller, it's absolutely conservative. That trackpad doesn't really make sense since it hasn't been used a lot.
They need the trackpad for the full compatibility with PS4 games, there have been plenty of games that used it.
