maybe they have not shown the ps4 because the console is as ugly as the xbox1/3 and the japanese are too gentle to shock people first.

if this is the case it will just be the next betamax vs vhs war all over again and playing games from videotapes must be an interessting experience.

IYO, IMO the XB0 is the best looking console to date. Finally a game system that dosn't scream kids toy. Hope Sony goes the same direction, and PS4 looks like a high end A/V product.

You're in the minority, the general consensus: Its fugly. It doesn't have to look like a kids toy, but its still lazy designing, they didn't do much with it, and it practically looks like a VCR from the 80s. Then again, American companies aren't that great when it comes to designing electronics....... or cars. Dell being another example, designing some of the most awful laptop & desktop designs to grace the computer hardware industry.
