Why don't they make transparent consoles anymore?

You'd just see a PCB board, cooler, and the smallest GPU shaped object in existence taped inside of it for your $1000+tip
>>
imagine having trans parents
>>
Saturn is criminally underrated.
>>
Is there even anything to see anymore? I imagine modern consoles' internals are covered in heatsinks and opaque brick GPUs.

Lost technology just like mirrors in video games
>>
like 60% of modern consoles is cooling.

The Derby Stallion Saturn was MSRP at launch and easy to get at the time.

>wow look at this cool plastic on my shelf that serves no purpose
Why??

>>744704671
its slightly more expensive and that doesnt maximize shareholder value so its gotta get cut.

>>744705537
Battlestation aesthetics are important.

>>744705383
I mean to be fair China puts out a lot of custom replacement shells, atleast for Nintendo stuff. I would assume they sell atleast a PS4 transparent shell like that
>>
>>744704671
What game is that?

>>744705359
What's the 25 for?
Xbox hasn't been out for 25 years... right?
It's still pretty new...
>>
>>744705680
I saw some shit that said what feels like 10 years ago and it was Tobey spider-man and then next to it what was actually 10 years ago and it was Tom Holland and I almost passed out and died right there.

>>744705383
Regardless, it stands that translucent consoles are still being made.

looks like x-men: children of the atom

The perfect game for a TRANSparent console.
X-MEN!
>>
>>744704671
nobody bought them. which is why, if you go in a used game store, 90% of the consoles will be in the 'standard' colour of grey/black. even the GameCube I see nearly as many silver ones (which was one of the optional colours rather than the standard one) as I do purple which was the primary colour it was offered in.
the only translucent consoles that sold well were the N64 and the GBC.

use case?

The clear Game Boy Pocket was popular, but you don't really see many Pockets in the wild period. It's not like clear consoles were that common anyway, most of them were special editions, like the Halo Xbox. Controllers were a different story, I see the clear Playstation one fairly often.
