Oh man, yes. :P Will fix that.

The WiiU is sexy, and I've always found the PS3 phat to be one ugly console. The old 360 never did it for me, too big, but I like the 360 S :)

One of my favorite console designs was the PS2 regular. So life-like.

But yeah, the WiiU is so sexy, and its controller is absolutely a clone of nothing, Nintendo owns all the other consoles and their controllers, historically speaking.

EDIT: By the way, great video in the OP. :)

EDIT2: Oh, and I almost forgot, I always preferred the 360 controller to the PS3 controller, so that's always been a reason for me to prefer the 360. But, I like the PS3's exclusives so the PS3 gets my win but in terms of multiplats I play them on 360, it's better, so kudos to Nintendo for taking the shell shape of the 360 controller, it's the best. :)

You tell it how it is happy!

And the cube was so beautiful too, I regret listening to the haters in the past, they ruined it for me. I loved the cube, it was a great piece of HW design. Great controller too.

oh... I liked your previous post better ;)

You are right, the X-Box was verbally announced at gdc 2000...and it looked like this:

Now if you ask me, that doesn't really look like the finished product, but I am not an expert when it comes to Microsoft consoles. That controller is a sidewinder gamepad pro btw.

This

is from CES 2001 and the first time the actual console and controller design was revealed (http://www.gamesfirst.com/articles/releases/xbox_unveiled_at_ces_2000.htm funny typo in the link actually, news says january 6th, 2001 though).

"LAS VEGAS — Jan. 6, 2001 — Today at 2001 International CES, Microsoft Corp. Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates revealed to the world the highly anticipated Xbox™ video game console during his keynote address. As the finale of his keynote, Gates showed off the Xbox console and game controller and demonstrated two exclusive Xbox games that highlight the future-generation console’s rich and realistic graphics capabilities."

Now this

is from Nintendo Space World 2000 where the gamecube was revealed in full. Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FEeECj8DqA

It's around 8 minutes in. See also for date proof:  http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/4858

Busted? Busted.

Wow, it's tiny! That's something for sony to look at, if they try to make a PS3 slim slim slim!! I like the size of it, and the pro controller looks nice too, but has clearly borrowed parts of the xbox controllers design (not that it is a bad thing though)

Nice find. Can you find a video from that nintendo conference with gc controller?

Both Microsoft and Sony controllers plagiarize the SNES controller. If anyone is copying, it's nintendo's competition.

No. A PS4 would be too powerful to fit all its components in such a small, ugly form factor.
