May 21 2010What If: Gaming Consoles Were Buildings?

Then they'd look like this ya little dum dum! Hit the jump for PS3 and NES buildings, all of which are from artist/photographer Joseph Ford's collection, If I Were President . And while the nation is definitely in need of some console-shaped buildings, I can't help but feel a presidency could be put to better use. I'm talking about childhood obesity (I have no clue).
Hit it for the others.

@7 only a true homoszechuan would base his gaming system preference on console design.

@7!really I beleiveit makes a building because it beautifully sculpted... And what console isn't bulky? From my experience, "bulky" consoles have always been the best. Oh your scrawny arm can't move it? Ok now u make sense

The Wii would have made a viable building as well, probably even the 360. The NES seems to be an exceptionally poor choice here.

24. Bob Dylan's Armpit - May 21, 2010 7:00 PM
@22, the Wii building would be the Leaning Tower of Pisa of modern architecture.

These buildings are sweet, and the first one looks like the screen could be solar panels that can close and protect the glass roof, pretty awesome.

I wish the ps3 building was connected to a big ass TV , with a big ass controller.
Anyone wanna help me press the X button for a combo move?
