I know that is what the playstation 5 dev kit looked like, and there was a joke at the time about the shape of the exhaust vents being great for keeping a slice of pizza warm. And then kfc made a joke about a bucket of chicken warming console, or at least I hope it was a joke, honestly not really sure.

Judge for yourself, I guess.

But anyway, this is plausible. Unfortunately. But could also just be photoshop, honestly the spatula is probably the most suspicious part. It's almost too much effort for the joke. But even that really could go either way ultimately. At the very least, even if the pizza and spatula are photoshopped, the dev kit could still have been sold anyway.

Edit: the shadows also don't look consistent to me, the controller has a pretty detailed shadow, but the spatula and console don't. It's possible there is another light source filling in their shadows that is blocked from filling in the controllers shadows, but it does lower the likelyhood of being a legit photo to my mind. But not to 0, still possible, just unlikely.

Edit 2: well... there is another angle that significantly strengthens the possibility of it not being photoshopped.

Maybe someone was trying to circumvent automated systems that would let Sony know a dev kit was for sale? Or maybe just a joke.
