I misread another thread as, well, the title of this thread, and it made me wonder which console is actually the best looking.

So forget about its game library, its specifications, its brand and only look at the aesthetics.

I for one like the GameCube design.
I'm a sucker for simplicity, and its rectangular shape with an handlebar is just great in my opinion. Not to mention it's purple color and disc tray at the top made it more memorable for me. I just love it. I even like the controller. It had analog triggers and button surrounding the most used button, which is the A-button. It's a really good designed controller. Only the C-stick was annoying.

Which console or handheld do you consider the best looking device?

Xbox one x and ps2 slim were quite nice looking consoles.

Series x looks nice too (standing only, doesn't look to great on side)

 

[TwiztidElf]

PS4. SNES (JP/EU). PC Engine.

 

[SpokkX]

I like the look of the Gamecube and the Xbox Series X

 

[prinz_valium]

Series S for me.
Love bi color, clean edges and straight lines.
It's so simple.

I'm just not if that might get old or not

[Same ol G]

Super Nintendo (EU version) and PSOne.

 

[laynelane]

The PS2 for me. I like its design and small size.

 

[Hunnybun]

One X, original PS4, and that PS3 super slim model.

They're the only ones that hold up well today imo.

 

[TintoConCasera]

The Gamecube and the GBA Micro. The Switch is fine too.

 

[Banjo64]

There’s a lot of stunners.

DS Lite
New 3DS (regular size)
PS Vita 2000 (Japanese colours; Lime Green)

PS3 Slim (not super slim)
PS4 and PS4 Slim were hot

Game Cube, Wii and Switch

360 S, One X, Series S & X

All great designs in my opinion.

If Vader was a console? Can’t beat the Mega Drive

 

[Soodanim]

Sony have had a fairly good good:bad ratio with their consoles, not too many bad ones overall

PS1: good
PSone: even better, nice rounded design
PS2: great, rotating logo is good detail
PS2 (slim): impressively tiny
PS3 (fat): not a big fan of gloss but the touch buttons were nice
PS3 (slim): much better looking then fatty
PS3 (super slim): looks like it’s made from scraps
PS4s: they’re all very similar, not bad
PS5: has a great personality

What do people think of the Wii Mini? The forgotten last ditch effort that no one asked for:

Spoiler

Say what you will about the Wii U, but I love its design. Very compact and sleek.

I prefer the Mega Drive 2

 

[German Hops]

The Super Famicom,

And I've always had a liking for the WunderMega,

 

[NikuNashi]

SNES will always be my favorite, it was a magical time, I lusted after that thing, spent months looking at pictures and imagined what it would be like to own it. I still remember sliding off the plastic packaging and seeing, touching and smelling it for the first time. A seminal moment in my life.

 

[Diddy X]

 

[Valedix]

always liked the ps3 slim

 

[GreatnessRD]

OG PS2 is still top tier. PS3 slim is right there, too.

 

[Grimchest]

PS3 and PS5 (in different colors) for me.

 

[acm2000]

 

[makaveli60]

PS5, I like the futuristic design with the white-black combo and its relative huge size suggest being a powerhouse. DualSense also looks awesome. And the small ps symbols are a nice touch on both.

 

[Beer Baelly]

One X/S
PS4

 

[Miles708]

It's indisputably the Dreamcast you degenerates.

 

[ZywyPL]

Xbox one x and ps2 slim were quite nice looking consoles.

Came here to post those two as well, along with PSX/PSOne. The beauty lies within their simplicity and right proportions. But the winner goes to X1X, it's much more streamlined then the older consoles.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Team Series S.

 

[SubZer0]

The one and only PS3 Fat Lady

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

The one and only:

So small, so rounded, so portable. Best revision ever, too.

 

[DonJuanSchlong]

 

[Spukc]

PS TRIPLE

 

[Orta]

 

[Arcadialane]

Xbox One X

 

[Monokrom]

Sega Master System still holds up. Lightyear ahead of NES.

 

[vodka-bull]

Gameboy Micro was state of the art design.

 

[FoundryMusic]

 

[TheGodfather07]

One X, original PS4, and that PS3 super slim model.

They're the only ones that hold up well today imo.

XBOX ONE OG

 

[Ceadeus]

My vote as well!

The minimalistic looks of the Wii and the WiiU is great.

 

[IKSTUGA]

I really like the Series X design. If we're going back in time, GBA SP and DS Lite looked pretty slick as well.

 

[Zimmy68]

Xbox One X is almost perfection. My second would go to the PS2 Slim.

 

[killatopak]

Purple Transparent Gameboy Color.

 

[German Hops]

Sega Master System still holds up. Lightyear ahead of NES.

Too bad the actual games were shit.

 

[skit_data]

I like the more subtle Series X and the PS4 designs, but there are more iconic ones of which the PS5 is probably the most iconic to date.

 

[Type_Raver]

The Ultra 64 is the best. Ok so it only made it to the prototype and we got the similar looking albeit rename and colours added to the controller buttons.

So the N64 it is. Loved the curves and the design of the console, and elegant as well!

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Series X is legit my choice, its just classy and goes with any entertainment center setup. Probably followed by the ps3 slim.

 

[Physiognomonics]

PS4 MGS5 LE:

 

[p_xavier]

Still a timeless design.

 

[8BiTw0LF]

 

[Tschumi]

3) ps4 pro
2) ps2 slim

1) PSP oh man mac-daddy

the yellow elevates it beyond thunderdome

 

[MrSec84]

I know people love to hate on it, but the PS5 is my choice, I love it standing vertically next too my TV.
I also love my launch PS3 and 360 Elite, but TBH I've at least liked the designs of each of the systems I have added to my collection of systems over the years.

 

[belmarduk]

Famicom for sure.
