These hardware projects emphasize the product look (and by implication the feel) way too much. The Edge here looks super slick, cool to the touch, and pleasantly heavy, with perfectly smooth edges. The same was true of Ouya and its controller on kickstarter. But making perfect hardware is hard, and in fact the finished product would never be so delightful. It'd be more realistic to offer lower-fidelity mockups instead of those beautifully rendered images. But I guess "realistic" doesn't sell.
