The shape of things to come

So this is how they will look, the new Xbox (a.k.a. Xbox One) and the new PlayStation.

Don't they look a bit similar? It this a new design trend? To split the device in two differently designed pieces? It's interesting that both new consoles are sporting this design. Personally I'm not very fond of it. I prefer a more homogenic design.

Comparing the two, I'd say the PS4 design wins.

Then again, the new Xbox One is a thing of pure beauty compared to the original Xbox. That thing was just hideous!
