I actually really dig the Series X look even though the black Series S is quite the looker, and the silent operation is really not talked enough about. These are really well designed systems, and even though Sony was able to squeeze a decent amount of power out of their hardware for the price, at the end of the day their product is huge, noisy and not as refined as what MS designed.
Switch 2 is similar to Switch 1, but bigger and better looking. I think MS has their design language with Series S and X, with the S being very similar to Xbox One S and One X. I think they should keep going in that direction.
LEDs are fine, but they gotta have the option to turn them off or change the color from the OS.
