Sexiest Console Design
Sexiest Console Design again, because I didn't want to muck up my pretty title with hyper-links. So without further ado, though I assure you tireless research went into this decision, The WonderSwan Color!
What?! I hear you cry. Bet you didn't see THAT one coming. The WonderSwan (all one word) Color is a tidy little hand held released in Japan in 2000 to compete with the Gameboy, if anyone's heard of that obscure toy. Now lets run down the list. Sleek, minimalist design, years ahead of its time, unique line work unlike anything to date, balanced asymmetrical elements, and to top it all off, an innovative design element:
It can be used sideways. And, might I add, looks just as sleek and unique while doing it. It can be argued that there are better designed consoles, or that this is a handheld, not a console. However the WonderSwan gets extra points for innovation. It was the first to really innovate the control scheme. And is the only console to date to use original design elements with its curvy lines, layered shapes, and heavy asymmetry.
All this makes the WonderSwan Color Sexiest Console in Design
