# Slim Gaming Systems Rumored Playstation 3 Design Photos Leaked By Andrew Robichaud | Published 2009-05-15 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleek-slim-systems-rumoured-playstation-3-design-photos-leaked References: [engadget](http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/14/wild-and-slim-ps3-redesign-caught-on-camera/) & [i4u](http://www.i4u.com/article24770.html) Anyone with the current [Playstation 3](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aps3e) system knows that it could be slimmer. ([Fire](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/z95a) up the rumor mill!) Photos of a rumored new design have been leaked across the internet. The grainy photos of the design show a much slimmer model of the PS3. So far, [Sony](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-6-concept) has stated, “We currently don’t have any plans for a redesigned PS3 at this time.” Maybe they don’t, but maybe that’s how every company deals with rumors. As a Playstation 3 fan myself, I would love a sleek and slim new design for the system. But all in all, rumors are rumors, and until the actual slim Playstation 3 is released, we will never know for sure. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Slim Gaming Systems:** The trend towards slimmer gaming systems presents an opportunity for companies to develop sleek and compact console designs. - **Rumored Designs:** The rise of leaked rumored designs showcases an opportunity for businesses to generate buzz and excitement around new product releases. - **Redesigned Gaming Consoles:** The demand for redesigned gaming consoles highlights an opportunity for companies to improve upon existing designs and enhance user experience. ### Where This Applies - **Gaming Hardware:** The gaming hardware industry can capitalize on the trend towards slim gaming systems by developing and manufacturing sleek and compact gaming consoles. - **Tech Rumor Websites:** Tech rumor websites can benefit from the trend of leaked rumored designs by providing exclusive coverage and generating high traffic from enthusiast readers. - **Product Design:** The product design industry can seize disruptive innovation opportunities in the field of gaming consoles by creating redesigned models that are more visually appealing and user-friendly. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Angular Next-Gen Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-6-concept.md) - [Slim Modular Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ps5-slim.md) - [Industrial Next-Gen Console Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-6-console-concept.md) - [Contoured Gaming Console Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-5-console-concept.md) - [Pro-Grade Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-playstation-5-pro-concept.md) - [Powerful Portable Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-5-handheld-gaming-console.md) - [Highly Portable Gaming Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lenovo-legion-slim.md) - [Retro-Style Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-5-30th-anniversary-limited-edition.md) - [Folding All-in-One Entertainment Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-capsule.md)
