The new batch of consoles for 2006
So now we get to have a look at all three new consoles.
The new Xbox looks nice. The (wireless) controllers look nice too. (I notice that the black and white buttons have vanished).
But the new PlayStation? It looks kinda… ugly. Huge and ugly. It’s like it’s this rounds Xbox. Very strange.
And the controllers? Ok, so when they launched the PS2 they were accused of not being very adventurous only adding analogue pressure sensitivity to old dual shock controllers. But these are just weird.
I see that Nintendo have also semi-announced their new console today too. Revolution is it’s codename. It looks more like the current PlayStation 2 than the GameCube. Is this an admission of mistakes made on their part?
While it’s still very early days with regards to anyone actually being able to buy any of these three machines, based on the last week my moneys on the XBox. (With it’s three dual-core processors).
