Is it just me that really likes how the original Xbox one looks?

No, you'll mistake it for a router or a fan.
Edit: Left this out - I did like the looks of the Xbox vcr. I actually preferred it to my Xbox 1X and PS4 slim.

That bounty flavor, not a fan of it either.Horrible looking console. I did like it more in white mind and went and bought the white model all those years ago and still have it.

Visible colors are my favorite, they look sci-fi like the ps1.It is better than the sh8t black model, like how the Crystal Xbox looked better than the black OG model
I do also like the Halo 360 Sliver colour too

It was mocked at the time for sure, especially when compared to the superior ps4 design.
But i would HAPPILY take that design over the heavily over-simplified xbox series s/x or playskool-looking ass ps5

The xbox 360 S is still the goat imo. Kept the general uniqueness of the xbox and 360 but with that semi-sharp sleakness of a modern design

You like what you like. I thought it was cool back in the day, like a big piece of audio visual equipment. The redesign was better for sure.

Nah, it's a lovely looking, chunky bugger. Just a black slab. I love the original Duke controller too.

Series X looks stupid but Gamecube is hall of fame?

It's already been said but the one x is by far the best designed xbox such a small densely packed powerful device for its time, they could've changed the cpu and launched a whole new generation with that since it was such a leap

Its a masterclass in design compared to the PS5.

It was too big and on top of that, with that horrible external power supply brick, with the ONE s they did it much better.

Yup. While it was cubed shaped, there was gray on black, and don’t forget the mother fucking handle.

Yeah I like the 80s vibes. I also think the XSX looks really smart.
SNES and PS2 slim are the best though.

The handle was a good idea for a square brick console but I never looked at it.
When I had Series X I really didn't mind the form factor. It came off like a tiny tower PC and blended in as practically invisible amongst all the other black squares in my living room. It was near a Gamecube and theater speaker and it all seemed stylistically cohesive. Better than I can say for LOOK AT ME I'M NUMBER ONE Playstation 5.
Of course the GOAT is Sega Genesis 1

I liked the design better than the PS4, let alone the PS5. Series X is good, but not as good.

As long as it isn't covered with RGB shit I don't care what a console looks like. Some PCs look like they were dragged through a pride parade.

Yeah I mean I guess people can say what they want about the Xbox One, but there is no denying how much I enjoyed playing Forza Motorsport 5-7 and Forza Horizon 2-4 on it. Heck I still play Forza 6, 7, and the Horizons from time to time on my One X, they're just pretty timeless and appealing games. It was especially nice to have those games during that era considering how long it took Sony to release GT7, we went pretty much the entire generation with GT Sport as the only option.

If we look at Forza Motorsport 5 or 7, I would say they're right.
Forza Horizon 2-4 are good games, though. But that's just three titles.

Really gotta disagree with you there, Forza Motorsport 5 was a fantastic title looking back considering it was a launch title. How long did it take Sony to release GT7 that gen? I mean come on, there was nothing else really competing with it. As for Forza 7 I never liked it as much as 6 but looking back it was a lot better than the new Forza Motorsport and still among the best racing games.
Overrated while being somewhat of a failure as well, which says a lot about it. I did actually enjoy that one though, for the most part. It definitely had it's flaws but it's pros as well. A real shame that killed the developer, because I always loved the Motorstorm games which is what they should have made. If it got a 60fps patch I could consider it a much better game today, but playing a racing game at 30fps is pretty rough.

It wasn't bad but kind of boring, the original and the 350 have more character, especially the 360's absolute peak mid 2000s design.

Back when I used to build PCs, I really wanted this original Xbox as a buyable custom case. That's how great it looked to me.That one's ugly.
THIS is the best looking xbox ever made:

I also like them big and black.
It's large size and huge fan vents were a result of the RROD issue of the Xbox 360. Microsoft didn't not want a repeat of that fiasco and make cooling and thermal temperature the main point of the Xbox One design. Thankfully they nailed it with the One X design instead, I believe thag one was designed by the Surface hardware team instead.
