This has been probably done before, so sorry in advance.

Dringo done a post about controllers and how they can improve, then I had an idea about consoles improving.

Yes, specs will improve with every new console that comes out, but what else will change with the console?

Design: Over the years we have had many, many different looking consoles. The best would been, IMO, the N64. It wasn’t great, just the best of the rest. The Playstation2 doesn’t look like a model or anything, far from it. People have made fun of the design and saying things like “It looks like a book end”. I think that it has been the most imaginative though. The sliding out of the tray is a good idea for a gaming console. Apart from that nothing else is too original.

So, what else could improve future consoles?

The flip lid was great, my mates could never be bothered to buy two cds for the link up matchs, so they flipped the lid and stuck a nail into the sensor that tells the computor whether the lids shut or not, then they swapped the cd over until the game was loaded, it took a bit longer than normal but saved some money.
