With the Christmas period cooling down, and more people having purchased next generation consoles (whether it is a ps4 or an Xbox One) talk has already began about the next generation redesigns.

Every popular games console over the last decade has come with a redesign. Even the original PlayStation came with a cuter, smaller and curvier design. And even before that the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) again came with a smaller redesign.

Redesigns do not tend to include major internal developments; however the Playstation 2 had firmware updates, a smaller body and tweaked internals along with a much smaller design. Redesigns are likely to be already underway and it will be interesting to see which next gen console has benefited more from a redesign out of the Playstation 4 (PS4) or the Xbox One.
