The first official pictures of Wii and PlayStation 3 box-art
have hit the web, and opinion seems to be divided.
In a move that breaks from the tradition, the Wii box-art (above
left) features no Nintendo logo anywhere on the front. Usually,
games featured on Nintendo systems have Licensed by Nintendo
emblazoned somewhere upon their front cover. Its also interesting
to note that the Wii isnt being referred to as the Nintendo Wii
again, a change from the norm.
The Wii cover certainly seems to hint at a sense of sophistication
and minimalism, which (on the whole) has gone down quite well with
spectators. The same cannot be said of the PS3 box-art, which has
been slightly more controversial.
While it has long been known that the consoles Spiderman logo
was fairly unpopular, the game casing appears to be even less
popular. Though still unconfirmed, its expected PS3 discs will come
in blue boxes displaying the Blu-ray format, as pictured. The PS3
is going for that not-especially-sophisticated or minimalist look
then.
