PlayStation 3 Vs Nintendo Wii: The Game Cases
Published by sickr 1 year, 11 months ago in News.Whilst one console sports a design that’s reminiscent of the style and flair of an Apple product, the other resembles a shiny matt black George Foreman grill, but how do the game cases compare for each competing console?
Well the PlayStation 3 game casing made its début 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 with an obvious plastic feel to it - not really the show-piece 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 creating what many will see as a break through for game-case design.

The ps3 cases look horrible.
And doesnt the writing ‘Playstation 3′ have font the same as Spider-Man
oh dear.
Have to say all the wii cases look sexual though
I don’t think the PS3 cases look too bad to be honest. I do still prefer the Wii cases. They seem bolder and more stylish.
U guys R stupid the wii case sucks tis just another DVD case exept white.. i mean come on Sony are taking the first bold steps into unknow case country, and i’m sure that nintendo will catch on at some point
Were not stupid, we just don’t like the case of the ps3 because it looks very much over the top. Nomatter how much I love both my playstation 3 and Wii (ofcourse wii is the best). I must say the ps3 has as much appeal as a ten bob hooker. It’s too *toasterish* with chrome effects and the curves just make it all the more feminin. Highly contrasted with the Wiis plain, sharp visuals. I certainly don’t wish to have a seethrough toaster with led effects sittin on my desk.
