# Conceptual Console Designs This PlayStation Redesign Concept Pays Tribute to Previous Consoles By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-06-05 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-redesign-concept References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2017/06/02/how-to-re-design-the-playstation/) This [PlayStation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-portable) redesign concept draws inspiration from the consoles of the past and merges them with an inherently form factor aesthetic to create something that is ultra-modern. The conceptual console features a circular portion that draws inspiration from the [first-generation console](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-30th-anniversary), while the rest of the body is squared off like the more recent releases from [Sony](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-6-console-concept). The PlayStation redesign concept is the design work of Minkyu Kim and makes it more of a piece of technology you'd be proud to have displayed in your home rather than tucked away in a media cabinet. The console has been designed in several color options including black, white, gray and red, which makes it suitable for anyone with specific style and color preferences. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Retro-inspired Console Designs:** Opportunity for businesses to create gaming consoles that pay homage to past designs while incorporating modern aesthetics. - **Aesthetic Home Electronics:** Market potential in designing consumer electronics that are visually appealing and can serve as decorative pieces in the home. - **Customizable Gaming Consoles:** Potential for companies to offer gaming consoles in various color options to cater to consumers' personal style preferences. ### Where This Applies - **Gaming Console Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to develop and produce gaming consoles that combine nostalgic design elements with modern features. - **Consumer Electronics:** Opportunity for businesses to design and manufacture consumer electronics that prioritize aesthetics and integrate seamlessly into home decor. - **Customization Services:** Market potential for companies to offer customization options for gaming consoles, allowing consumers to personalize their devices and express their individuality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Industrial Next-Gen Console Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-6-console-concept.md) - [Angular Next-Gen Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-6-concept.md) - [Minimalist Next-Gen Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-playstation-6-concept.md) - [Next-Gen Handheld Gamer Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-portable.md) - [Folding All-in-One Entertainment Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-capsule.md) - [Heritage-Inspired Game Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-30th-anniversary-collection.md) - [Powerful Portable Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-5-handheld-gaming-console.md) - [Retro-Inspired Handheld Game Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sup-game-box-400.md) - [Handheld Gaming Console Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playfusion.md)
