Those are the colors that are associated with them the last few years.

Nintendo's logo was almost always Red, so they had first dibs.

Sony probably chose blue to differentiate from Nintendo, especially considering they were connected at one point before the OG PS.

Microsoft.. Idk, cause Money is green?

They do it to balance out the usage of the different colors in your device screens. This way the lights have equal RGB usage.

Microsoft used green heavily with the original Xbox and that carried over to an extent with the 360.

The Nintendo logo is red, but honestly they've never settled on a color for branding. N64 was multicolor. Gamecube was of course purple. Wii was white. It wasn't until Switch where they went hard.

Playstation started gearing towards blue in the PS2 era. The lettering was blue and the accenting was blue, but again, not until PS4 did they did they heavily represent the background as blue.

XBox was green from the get-go. From moment one. They picked green and they stuck with it.

I honestly think once MS had their colors set, Sony picked up on it this last generation to take blue, and Nintendo then completed the trifecta by making the Switch logo big red.

xbox was always green. it was the brand they chose from the start, and they're the newest.

nintendo's logo was always red but they didn't really adopt it into the branding scheme until the 3ds, from what i can remember.

sony isn't necessarily always blue though.

Yeah, it wasn't until the PS4 that Sony really leaned into blue. Before that I always associated them with black. And only really with the PlayStation brand.

Microsoft is the only company I really associate with a color (green), and theyve leaned pretty heavily into that.

I dont really associate Sony with any color.

Nintendo has the red Nintendo logo, but I honestly dont really associate them with red. Absolutely with the Switch, theyve leaned heavily into that. But prior to that, most of their systems are all over the place with what they use to represent themselves.

Nintendo is red because their customers feel mad about their purchase.

Sony is blue because their customers feel sad about their purchase.

Microsoft is green because their customers feel sick about their purchase.
