Curves are passe. Sleek straight lines are the new style, and I like it. Curves make it hard to fit things in places anyway. Straight lines and rectangular shapes make it a lot easier to stack and otherwise place things in your entertainment center. You just can't stack the N64, because the shape is just plain awkward (well, also it's top loading). So long as it doesn't have pointy bits that could slash your hand, that's all I need.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
