Microsoft has released a new video defending the look of its upcoming console, the Xbox One.
While it has garnered comparisons to VCRs, Microsoft says the idea was to bring the squares/tiles of its modern-style interface to the hardware.
The company tried "dozens" of designs but ultimately settled on the two-tone, matte and glossy black box.
Microsoft's design team was led by Carl Ledbetter, the man in charge of the slim Xbox 360. Additionally, the company chose the "blackest black creatable" for the controller and Kinect sensor.
