Through the years we have all seen the new generation of video games come out, what interested me the most was the see the designs of Sony’s play station console and how it has differ through out the years. Sony first introduced their console as the play station with designs you can see above it was the very first few systems to use cd’s. We can see that the design reflect a sense of bulkiness, it was rather big. The shape was symmetrical, the color scheme they decided to go with was dark grey in which follows the Playstation theme. Following that model the console gets a massive face-lift. Changing its name to the PSOne to make way the playstation 2. This console was a lot more sleek and smaller. It was very portable and lightweight the color schemed also changed to make it look more elegant. We can see the form of this model to be very balanced and compact. Then came the Playstaton 2, Sony’s new take on a new generation of games. This console design was not balanced or symmetrical, but it did give the owner the option of whether to lay it down or stand it up. The color scheme was also changed to make it look more modern into a slick black color, themed with the lighting of blue. This console had a very mean concept to it, which will only be brought along later on by the Playstation 3. Lastly the Playstation 3 has minor adjustments from the ps2 console design. Instead of being just a boxy form it’s changed to a wave like form giving it a sleeker look.
