Design battle on next generation game console

Microsoft XBOX 360 - release on late 2005

First sight: Cool~ But it seems like a computer?
Details: Do we need a power button so big?
Controller: Seems too big?
Logo: It doesn't suit for a game console I think...
Comment: It's better to use a slot-in CD-Rom, and clean up the button except power button in the front
Summary: It's a Media Center PC with gaming function

Sony PLAYSTATION3 - release on spring 2006

First sight: Wait, isn't it the same as my DVD player??
Details: Too much smooth surface, just like an air filter....It's completely not a game console should look like...
Controller: It's .... ugly
Logo: PLAYSTATION3? SPIDER-MAN! Bad logotype
Comment: Really disappointed on the design, they tried hard on the design but I think they had failed
Summary: It's a powerful DVD Player with gaming function

Nintendo REVOLUTION - release on 2006

Details: Simple design, a cool stand to shape out the simple design console
Controller: not yet appeared
Logo: not yet appeared
