It's the third month of the year, so you know what that means: March (insert non-trademarked term here)! As you might expect, our bracket season is completely devoid of sports, so instead we've got a two-part competition dedicated to deciding which home video game console design is the most aesthetically pleasing of all time! Along the way, we'll also consider some other age-old queries, such as: Which console could stunt double for the 2001: A Space Odyssey Monolith? Which one is most likely to give you an STD? Why are all our American electronics just uglier versions of their beautiful Japanese siblings? And in our dystopian cyberpunk future, can our plucky protagonist ever hope to defeat the rogue AI operating out of the original Xbox, armed only with a Master System and an incorrectly-held N64 controller?
