  • Support excellent quality. A timely nomination, considering the recent announcement of the PS4. dllu (t,c) 06:14, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support One could criticize the controller blocking part of the view of one of them, but the better composition this creates makes up for it, in my opinion, since it only blocks the least-interesting part. Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:30, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Very nice picture. -BNK(talk) 02:03, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment The angle and position of the controller makes the perspective seem rather wonky to me. Cowtowner (talk) 03:33, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Heh. YEah. That's one of the things you learn when you get into drawing: Reality can be shockingly fake-looking. =) Adam Cuerden (talk) 10:50, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • I suspect the effect is enhanced by the lack of shadows in the image. Personally, this would have been better shot with the controller sitting in front of the console. Cowtowner (talk) 18:49, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment As a product shot, wouldn't this image be more appropriately formatted as a PNG with background transparency (in place of the white)? czar · · 17:01, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
