I wished we can live like the 90's again when designs didn't matter as much. I remember thinking how ugly the Super NES was as a kid and that's probably the best console Nintendo has ever made. I would use a Game Boy, Game Gear, and Sony Walkman and not care what it looked like. Nintendo is guilty with some of the ugliest industrial designs ever. And those ugly designs like the toaster-style NES are some of the best gaming machines ever! Me wants that miniature one of it!
Ah, nostalgia!

I didn't think the PS2 phat design was all that either. Looks better vertically but ugly horizontally. The slim PS2 looked better. But I really don't care but to play games which is why when people said the PS4 slim is ugly, I scoffed. So we now buy if it is a pretty box? My favorite library acame from the PS1 era. But since PS1 games can be played with PS2, I would rather be stuck with PS2. I was a Dreamcast fan in the early 2000's, but PS2 surpassed it lasting 11 years at retail. Nintendo GameCube was a lunchbox design but was highly underrated.
Now physical appearance is being differentiated and judged by the backside of phones! What a concept! The backside where we rarely look at. Jet black and matte black look nearly identical to the iPhone 6 series in space gray. We now live in an era where we are OCD and superficial at a side we will rarely look at. Reminds me of the gaming graphics whores who love great graphics but the games have such boring gameplay. Enjoy your iPhone for what it is and not for what it looks like.
The new side of marketing design...

I wonder if you feel the same way about cars.
