Indeed it is.

Legit?

WolfCypher · 05-21-2011, 02:14 PM

Looks boring.

Spider-ManHero12 · 05-21-2011, 02:17 PM

Is that it? Looks...different/missleading. The outside could be boring, but theinside could be great. Who knows?

Soapy · 05-21-2011, 02:21 PM

If this design that we've been seeing is actually real, it's probably just a devkit.

Benstamania · 05-21-2011, 02:23 PM

I don't ever really look at consoles and think "this looks exciting" lol.

The Squirrel · 05-21-2011, 02:26 PM

As long as it plays games in HD, I don't really care how simple it looks.

Benstamania · 05-21-2011, 02:30 PM

^Yup.

WolfCypher · 05-21-2011, 02:40 PM

That disc slot looks too small to fit Wii titles.

Spidey-Bat · 05-21-2011, 02:51 PM

Yeah, that makes me think it's BS.

I really couldn't care less about a console's design. The last console that looked nice was the Dreamcast, IMO. Everything since that has been big, bulky, or odd. The only exception is the Wii. It's a nice, simple, compact design but not something I think is great looking. Besides, when you play a game, you're looking at the TV, not the console.

I just want something that doesn't weigh a ton, isn't oddly shaped that it can't fit in near other equipment like satellite/cable boxes or DVD players, and has no flaws that make it difficult to access certain features (like the Slim and the USB ports).

terry78 · 05-21-2011, 04:29 PM

How is it supposed to look exactly?

Benstamania · 05-21-2011, 04:31 PM

I've heard rumors that it supposedly looks like a "suped up SNES" which.... that thing looks nothing like.

I really hope it does look like something mixed between the NES/SNES.

LuisTX85 · 05-21-2011, 10:03 PM

I don't care about the design either,It's the console's power/function&games that interests me,A different color wouldn't be bad though like Black/Silver/Metallic Blue&Green&Red would be great!!!

Soapy · 05-21-2011, 11:13 PM

I'm not going to pretend that the design of a console "doesn't matter" to me, because it does. I like things that look nice, shoot me. But it's definitely not the most important aspect.

WolfCypher · 05-22-2011, 04:04 AM

I won't say "the look doesn't matter as long as it has a gajillion features and Double HDs..." because if the system could cure cancer in addition to being the most power system ever while, literally, looked like a pile of s*&$ with controller ports and a disc drive, I don't want it.

I really hope Nintendo isn't going back to mini-disks. lol

The only design that was really jacked up was the first Xbox. It was like putting a giant rackmount server under your tv.

Benstamania · 05-22-2011, 10:23 AM

The original PS3 was pretty fat and clunky looking.

dusk20 · 05-22-2011, 05:32 PM

I wouldn't mind if it looked like the Wii. That way there, I can fit it beside all my other console.

John McGuirk · 05-23-2011, 10:36 PM

Is the code name still "Cafe"? I hope not

HaloCod27 · 05-24-2011, 07:36 PM

why does it matter what the code name is?

That would be so awesome. I doubt it would happen though. One can dream.

Looks like my Windows 7 disc case.

I've been playing a few games with the control pad recently and noticed unless you are actually sitting close to the monitor (pc), like, 1 foot as opposed to sitting 4-5 foot away on a couch, having a higher resolution doesn't actually make all much a difference. High level anti aliasing has a much bigger difference when a game is in motion as it smoothes out the edges like bump barnacles on the side of a ship.

Example below, 1680X1050 no AA. Much higher than 720p consoles use.
You can clearly see crinkles are there, regardless. Actually, in many cases having a lower resolution softens in the image, hiding the crinkly edges. I was playing Mini-Ninja's yesterday at 640X480 rather than the maximum resolution because it made the text bigger and easyer to read with practically no diffrence in visual quility from the distance I was playing. AA got rid of the crinkly edges.

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

Same res, AA. much smoother image.

All this "HD" crap is way, way inflated. Like "HD-TV's" it's a buzzword. Unless you are planning on sitting really close to the screen, or you have a huge, huge screen way beyond 32 inch, the diffrence is negligible at best.
