Forums - Gaming Discussion - Why are all three consoles this generation so ugly?

tbf the PS3 looks by far the best out of the 3 ------ "slick black"



Around the Network

PS3---has a unique but bulky design, I like it but its a huge console comparing it to the Xbox 360 and the Wii.

X360---I like its shape the best out of the three because it looks like its sucking in air and its more eye catching and white. It basically stands out.

Wii---I like its design, really its color more importantly the design is more confusing it, doesn't look like anything. I see the white color is what got me. I just think Nintendo just kept the prototype what they shown at the E3 and just left everything like it is.

Out of the three I would choose the Wii being the ugliest and the 360 being the best looking.



I think the PS3 is one of the most beautiful electronic designs ive ever seen...Very slick looking...It matches a lot of beautiful Sony products, their TV's, PSP, Laptops, Desktops, etc... I have quiet a lot of Sony products, and they all match each other, people compliment them all the time

The Wii looks real modern, I absolutly love the simplicity of it, never did like previous Nintendo designs, but they sure got it right with the Wii :)

But the 360, I have to agree, is extremely ugly... What really ruins it for me is that hideous big round circle in the middle, it just makes no sense... I'm not sure what they were thinking in designing that thing, the Xbox1 had a tough design, i liked it a lot. It was mean looking >:)



I actually don't think any of consoles look ugly. The Wii looks neat and futuristic, the 360 looks well made and slick, and the PS3 looks smooth and luxurious. If anything this thread should have been made last generation.

The Gamecube looked like a giant cube lunchbox toy, the Xbox was just chunky, gimmicky and rough, and the launch PS2 (not the slimline, that one looks good) looked like it was rushed.



They look okay to me. At least there is no purple lunch box this gen. Wii is going for a simplistic look which is meant to just blend in with your set up without domintating and it achieves that perfectly. PS3 is meant to look bold and I think it achieves that.

Are you going to marry your console?
I care about functionality and games, not about the look.



IMO Last gen the consoles were all bricks absolutely not aesthetically pleasing however this gen they look quite good.



End of '08 predictions (made by theprof00): PS3: 20m, 360: 23.5m, wii: 42m

Now Playin':  PS3|Resistance 2, LBP, Uncharted and Fifa 09, PSP| Ratchet and Clank: Size matters, 360| Gears of war 2 and Fallout 3.

PS3 looks awesome
I like the appearance of the 360
Wii is nothing special, but far away from horrible



maybe cause your so ugly, that the three companies saw you and thought, those kind of bad looks could sell.



IMO

Ps3 is the only console that looks NEX-GEN....it looks like something out of the future with its Curvy, Shiny faceplate & touch sensitive buttons on it n streamlined body.

The 360 just looks like a Dell CPU unite

the Wii looks ok....nothing to rave on about
