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?

maybe SR could make some out of cardboard and sell them from their site. Like the PC monitor covers.
The gamecube has a choice of different colours that will be good. If only we could swoop the colours around now and again. Like a nokia face off really.

a slide in CD/DVD player would be cool, like a car stereo. It's pretty hard to design a console that could appeal to about 6billion people and quite a few different countries, it needs to have a lasting impression otherwise it will look dated after a couple of months. A lot of thought is put into it, but it's usually the most cost effective design that wins. I still like the N64 cartridge, but since a DVD is much bigger than a CD and the N64 were about half the size of a CD, i'm happy for the change.

What about the PS logo that swivels according to the orientation of the console.

For a console it is...

The slide out tray just makes it seem even more unoriginal! It's just like a CD/DVD player! Nothing original there!
