PlayStation 3 Vs. Nintendo Wii: The Game Cases

that’s reminiscent of the style and flair of an Apple product, the other resembles a shiny matte black George Foreman gril. But how do the game cases compare for each competing console?

The PlayStation 3 game casing made its debut via online gaming publication IGN yesterday, and truth be told, didn’t initially impress. Coming across as a hybrid, encompassing design flair from both the PSP and the PlayStation 2 the game casing looked, well, rather cheap. It has an obvious plastic feel to it — not really the showpiece you want for a console costing in excess of four hundred pounds.

Now to the other extreme we have the Nintendo Wii game casing, something that’s sure to turn the heads of the more image concious consumer out there. Taking design cues from Steve Jobs himself, the Wii game casing looks as though it was a direct fusion of Nintendo’s unabashed love for Apple and it’s overall love for simplicity. Therefore Nintendo has created what many will see as a break through for game case design.
