I always forget about game boy micro. Stellar.

 

[MrPressStart]

The hell is that thing?

I like the WiiU standing, with the pad next to it like in The promo shots The Xbone is also pleasing on the eye in a wierd kind of way.

I had that console. Region free and is played DVD's. Also... It's chrome!!!!!

 

[Jobbs]

Sega Neptune is up there.

there was also this japanese launch saturn which is gorgeous...

 

[dancrane212]

Just unpacked this after being set aside for the move, it seems like it gets smaller every time I look at it.

Even though I wasn't super big into the PS2 I think this may take the cake for me in terms of aesthetics.

 

[BasicUAE]

I don't know if this was mentioned but I remember being absolutely ecstatic when this image came out.

Impractical as hell but SLICK.

But it really goes to the Wii's first design...or should I say the Revolution?

 

[Jobbs]

surprised to see a lot of people like the wii hardware. I've always hated it. it looks uneven. this weird sunken angle. I want to straighten it out, like a picture frame that's crooked. It grates on me.

 

[IronicSonic]

Sega Saturn Black and Xbox 360 S (matte).

The new consoles are good looking too

What appeals to me personally is the clean/minimalist approach.

 

[Jobbs]

Just as a quick little anecdote, a few months ago I pulled out all my active consoles to kind of clean everything up, figure out the spaghetti and get a bit more organized.

So I had pulled everything out, and I had my wii u, my PS4, my XB1, and my PS3 all on my bed, and I got to sorta just looked at the hardware, the consoles themselves, and really compare them.

- The Wii U really is sexy. It looks like a compact little sportscar next to the others, which are comparatively mammoth.

- Despite being a Sony guy this gen and really liking Sony and PS4 a lot, I do not like the PS4 console asthetic. I don't like that skewed angle. I prefer straight lines.

- Despite having my opinion of MS taken down a few pegs since XB1 and somewhat regretting buying the console, I actually LIKE the box. It's a big, simple square, and it looks pretty cool.

 

[NextGen]

Any Mention of these yet??

 

[Koojay]

PSP Go

 

[Vilix]

The Sega Wondermega (specifically Sega, not the Victor model) is, in my eyes, the best looking console of all time. It's such a sleek looking unit with two green LEDs accentuating the disc tray when the unit powered up. I'd love to own one some day, but units in really nice condition run anywhere from £600-1000.

Oh my Lord. Did the JVC Wondermega have serious overheating issues? I ask because I remember a clerk burning his hand on one and the store had to unplug it.

 

[K.Jack]

The Slim PS2 impresses me the most.

That white PS4 is really, really nice looking though.

That's gorgeous.
They should of used this sleek approachable aesthetic design as a base for the Saturn.

 

[Shig]

I like my white 360 S a lot.

 

[Rezae]

Cube is the worst. Sorry. I think the design hurt its appeal.

My vote is the Sega Saturn. Slim PS2 is pretty good too.

 

[GamingIsDead]

This and the slim ps2.

 

[eighty(one)]

Nothing beats how beautiful the

Spoiler

my beloved

FE 3DS is. The pure brilliance of the cobalt blue, is truly stunning!

You're taste is pretty much the exact opposite of mine.

 

[Toxi]

Probably the Gameboy SP. I was going to say PSP, but it looks too much like a phone.

For home consoles... PS1 still looks great. OG Xbox has that cheese factor with the giant green X.

I still like the 3DS even though its design has caused so much confusion.

That teal 3DS is one of the ugliest consoles I've ever owned because the paint chips like crazy.

 

[Angry Fork]

Don't like the Wii as a console but always thought it looked real nice, same with Gamecube.

PS2/PS3 were my favorite consoles but thought they both looked hideous.

 

[MariosGirlfriend33]

 

[joedan]

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

We found a winner.
I own one
Stopped reading discs though.
Wish I could get it fixed

 

[GoofsterStud]

I liked the Sega Saturn prototype model a lot. Nice and simple.

 

[MomoPufflet]

I'm going to go with the redesigned "VCR" 360 or the Wii U.

Anything with bulbous organic curves or colors other than black just looks odd in most modern entertainment centers. A lot of consoles look nice in photo shoots but big colorful chunks of plastic have always looked silly to me in actual practice.

 

[TopGun]

Wii U, Slim PS2, Gameboy Advance SP, PS Vita, and Gamecube are all very visually appealing to the eye in my opinion.

 

[vatstep]

Indigo GameCube is my personal favorite, but I think the PS4 is the "best" design ever.

No way!? People have different opinions.

Here's an unpopular one. I really like the look of the Xbox One.

It's beautiful isn't it?

 

[Borman]

 

[SHL23]

op nailed it

 

[IN&OUT]

Slim PS2.

Easy.

 

[Toxi]

Oh wow.

This is sex.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

PSP Go

Yep, I only picked up one recently and I really like the design. So much better than my original PSP.

 

[Dorimukyasuto]

Quoted for size:

 

[TUSR]

gameboy micro and the wii are fantastic

 

[ElDuderino]

I am partial to the red wii.

 

[SocksForWoks]

 

[kittens]

Maybe this is weird, but the controllers remind me of this lil guy:

 

[Omni]

Side note: I was very pleasantly surprised with the Xbone. I remember reading that it was ugly as hell. But in all honesty I think it looks pretty damn good IRL. Same goes for the PS4

Anyways I've always considered the 360 slim to be one of the better looking consoles released. That thing has angles in all the right places

 

[milkham]

ITT: No real consensus and a pic of every console ever produced.

there hasn't been an original american SNES yet, i guess thats one consensus.

 

[AmyS]

The original PS2 was already posted of course, and this doesn't count since it's a dev-kit but I like the look of the PlayStation 2 TOOL

 

[ReBurn]

No way!? People have different opinions.

Here's an unpopular one. I really like the look of the Xbox One.

Same here. I like consoles that look like they belong in a home entertainment rig. When they're green or purple or weirdly shaped I hide them.

 

[AmyS]

Also, the pre-production Saturn prototype was awesome:

I had what I assume was the US version of that. The X'Eye. Didn't look anything like that though. It also wouldn't play EA games right for some damn reason

 

[MadNinjaZero]

Phantom could have been a contender.

 

[Zoda]

PS4 looks great, futuristic almost. It's almost like the PS4 slim that we weren't supposed to have yet.

 

[JohnGrimm]

Would totally buy one.

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

So nice. I always wished I had a black Wii. White looks so.... cheap

I heard that black wiis are bigger, too.
