In my opinion, to sell a new and improved games console it has to make you want to play, its presentation has to attract you. For instance do they really think the "GAME CUBE" will sell if it looks like a toaster( yes i dont care
if it is a power machine it wont get to sit in my room).
The PS2 is the highest quality machine on the market but still it looks dull and the control pads are still the same as the origanal. Same with the Dreamcast controller it looks uncomfortable which makes playing playing the games look painful.
These little differences make game consoles better. Look at the N64 looks attractive, easy to play but the console itself is dying out. So they can make a machine as fast and powerfull as possible but will be harder to sell to the younger generation if it is not attractive. Even in the future as the new "X-BOX" the early pictures show a dull black box with some of America's nuclear waste shoved into it.
So would you like to see more attractive consoles or do you not mind just how could it is?

I really don't mind what it looks like, within reason. I mean, if it looked like Thora Hird then I probably wouldn't consider it, but if it looked like her and played Metal Gear Solid at full speed without any problems then I'd buy it.
Looks don't really matter, unless you REALLY need your console to match your home's decoration scheme, in which case you shouldn't really get a console, because you'd be so busy cleaning your house you'd never really have time to play it.
