While it sounds weird to say that (and the original Xbox was a rushed mish-mash of design), Microsoft has actually proven very good at being consistent with a design ethic.
For instance, the Xbox 360 (the original ones, at least) all followed the same curved look that was reciprocated in it's GUI, even to the point of controllers and gift cards. This consistency is also found with the achievement system and the fact that your gamertag can work across everything.
While the PS4 seems to be getting much more popularity with gamers in general, (with me included) does anyone else think the consistency of the Xbox brand is at least something that is admirable and shows how much work it takes to make video game consoles?

1 RespuestaIt looks like a VCR. I will say no more.

11 RespuestasNope I preferred 360 design over ps3 but the xbox one design is.. Dull.

3 RespuestasI wish that both consoles didn't look like my DVD player. Why can't they be shaped like a triangle, or a sphere?
-
1 RespuestaNot really. They've changed their UI like 4 times in the 360's life span and they are going for another soon. I'd hardly call that consistent. Not that inconsistency is bad but for the case you are making; not really. Also small design of gift cards and such are in no way indicative of the quality or work that goes behind making a console.

10 RespuestasThe PS4 is one of the ugliest consoles I've ever seen.

4 RespuestasFor me, Size > Design By that logic, PS4. It's an engineering marvel. It's got no power brick and is on par with the slim PS3's size. X1 literally looks like my 2002 VCR.

2 RespuestasFor the sake of bitching everywhere on the internet, I just hope PS4 ditches the -blam!-ed up convex shape.
-
1 RespuestaHonestly, I don't give a flying -blam!- what the consoles look like... Just what try can do.

6 Respuestas#gaming also, not consistent at all. they have not released any yet, and they went through hundreds of prototypes. hell, they're even going to overclock them to a faster default speed now... since they haven't made any actual production units yet... so games made in 2014 will be better than day one games.

I love the way the PS4 looks. The Xbox One looks kind of good too. It always has Kinect photo bombing its pictures though.

Yes of corse, I don't think PS2 back in the day would have been able to play halo, it was a prime console , then 360 was far greater.. CBf explaining, but your right !
