Really? I don't think any of the consoles look ugly. The only issue with any of them is with the WiiU, and that is a worry. It's just too small, and heat I believe will be an issue a year+ passes of your console use. But even with this, don't think they can do any worse than Microsoft did with their first revision of their respectable (somewhat) X360.. So from the "HD" consoles to date, I think Sony is the only one that made a good build.
I question so much from their hardware. I don't get Nintendo with not offering many GB's of space. I get that they are trying to put it in peoples minds that the console is cheap by not offering an HDD. But it's a bad layout. Most people do NOT buying secondary hard-drives. And then Microsoft thought it was a good idea to rip people off and offer their own hard-drives that cost 4x more than a normal one. I love PC's, and with the PS3, it's the only one that feels somewhat open. With the next XBox, they better move from using their unique HDD's. But I doubt that highly, as Nintendo didn't learn anything from their last generation. They just did more of the same. Yes, they came to the HD world but far to late. Next year the WiiU's power will be looked as a laughfest more than likely with the release of the PS4/720. Seems like Nintendo always needs a gimmick. Now they want us to be comfotable with playing games with a tablet. Such wasted resources to run this.
People prolly saying fanboy. But gosh, I love good hardware and I am just left scratching my head with these companies decisions. Only mistake Sony did with their hardware might be the Blu-Ray player for the HD gen. That's only because it's so expensive around the time they launched the PS3, and with that the DVD still holds most games just fine. But with this gen, a Blu-Ray I feel is needed. The increase in data size will be large. You might say without the PS3 going with the Blu-Ray, maybe it wouldn't be around today if they didn't push it out. I see Sony's BR choice as a pro and con. It's far to hard to read that situation. It's just with Microsoft and Ninitendo, their hardware issues are common sense things. Well, common sense to me...
