If Dieter Rams Designed an Xbox: Microsoft's Minimalist Xbox Series S
The Braun-y design comes out in November
Microsoft has announced they're releasing a small, slick Xbox variant called the Series S. Designed to be used only for downloadable games, the console itself is tiny, as it no longer requires the hardware necessary to accommodate physical media. And the physical design, as you can see, owes a great debt to Dieter Rams' classic work for Braun:

Like comparing American pizza to Italian pizza, one might be inspired by the other, but they lost the plot while doing so.
Dieter Rams called: https://64.media.tumblr.com/af57e54a8647e34ad8950ee450af157a/tumblr_nut28gff7p1rpgpe2o2_r1_1280.jpg
Nice injection molding demonstration, with the even perforation and 90-degree walls. Game consoles live in a weird space these days - do people want them to blend in or stand out? Especially a console like this where you don't even need to see it. Unfortunately I think Mr Rams might say "why do you need more things, you already make other consoles." BUT DIETER PRICE POINTS
Are you kidding me really, with that near pointless blank circle, mushed into the facade. Now f-ing way!
