They also had an opening jingle that sounded like stepping through a portal to an exotic dimension.

That's probably because Sega still had blue at the time.

The real reason why we couldn't keep both Sega and Playstation

That was more just the Soul Calibur II team deciding colors for them

Xbox and Nintendo stick to the scheme more aggressively than PlayStation most of the time

[–] scheep@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

someone should make a yellow console. Yellow is a good colour.

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe steam can take yellow since it is open

[–] scheep@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

A yellow steam deck and/or steam machine would be cool

[–] JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What about purple? purple goes great with black, grey & white.

[–] scheep@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

purple would be cool too. orange would also be interesting...

[–] shyguyblue@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I remember when the Nintendo color was orange. I may just be thinking of the light gun that came with it...

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

Purple was their colour for a while.

I think their colour was grey before that. But they had red, then purple accents. Foreshadowing!

You sure are lol

[–] Devadander@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yep. That’s how branding works.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 1 month ago

Also how industries get monopolized

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So with Xbox on its way out in this decade who is going to be green?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Maybe the steam deck can reclaim Steam's old green theme.
