Wii/WiiU are the obvious answers, very clean designs.
I liked 360S too, i just wish it didn't have a tray.
I think i like the X1 too, the one downside is that it is too big.
From portables i think GameBoy Micro, 3DS XL and both Vitas are the best.

Very few mentions of the king, makes me sad:

There is something about it that makes me hype. I dunno what it is. Blue box as a bonus. What damn beauty.

I really like the clean, muted low profile design.
Its sleek and angular lines remind of an F-117 stealth bomber.

This post is KILLING ME because the F-117 was known as the wobbly goblin. LMFAO.

As it prioritized stealth over aerodynamics, it earned the nickname "Wobblin' Goblin" due to its alleged instability at low speeds.

Sega Saturn. Everytime I look at mine in person I giggle a little bit in excitement.

Runner's up:

White PS3/PS4
PS2 Slim
GBA Micro
Black (Sports) Dreamcast
 
Nothing compares to the WonderMega. It's a Genesis/Sega CD console, and the cartridges go into that horizontal line on the left of the console.

Haha, yeah forgot about that nickname.
It's a shame that there are issues surrounding PS4's build quality as I really do think it is Sony's best looking PlayStation console. Sony took the best elements of the PS2 slim and reworked it into something futuristic and distinctive.

People saying GameCube (awesome console), but what?!

I think the PS4 and redesigned Xbox 360 look pretty darn sexy.

I think the GC is a nice looking box despite not being "sexy" or "sleek". It's just a neat little cube that plays games, and I'd rank it as one of the best looking consoles for sure.

Aside from that, I'd probably say Dreamcast, 1st PS3 slim and PS4. I also like the North American SNES a fair bit. It gets called ugly a lot but I like it.

Black Gamecube
DSi, 3DS
PS2
EDIT: And the VitaTV. Forgot that existed for a second.

From the current generation I like the PS4 design the least.

Original 360 S with chrome accents.

The only reason I still have my Xbox 360S is because it looks so damn good with all my Tech.
Piano Black Xbox 360S
Piano Black/Matte Xbox One
Piano Black 32" Panasonic.
Black Corsair Speakers.
Black simple PC case.
Kinect V2 on top of TV.
I feel like im in some sort of Chrome, Piano Black and Matte space ship from an early 2000s B TV series.

Real talk, im frikken loving having all black everything.

On Topic.

DreamCast.

Love how the Gamecube looks, it's so unique. Also love the DSi, hate how the 3DS models are such a big downgrade from it.

Still not sure if this is the most appealing or least appealing...

It looks like one of those lab equipment which are use for freezeing or heating up things. Or virus storage.
 
Without a doubt it's the Wii.

If we're talking gamey looking consoles that still look good/ok... that's a though one. I'd proably go for the N64.
 
I like the NeoGeo CD design even if it is a black hulking box like the OG Xbox.

Also the Sega saturn model one is pretty sexy, love the finish on the front and how you can see discs rotating with saturns in general.
