What's your favorite looking Playstation console?

PS1 Net Yaroze for me, slightly edging out original PS1. Its functions are clear and easy to operate, and it has an iconic design that is entirely consistent with its purpose. It doesn't look as toy-like as consoles that came before it, but it's still unmistakably a game console. I would be delighted if Sony adopted a PS1-inspired design for its PS5.

Original and mini PS2 are close behind.

PS4 isn't really sure what it wants to look like. The buttons on the console are so small they lose some utility. After owning both, I think PS4 Pro looks a bit better than OG PS4

PS3 looks the worst to me. It is inelegant and a bit wrong in all forms.
 
I'm not really a Sony gamer (as I've never owned a Sony console, only played them through my brother and my friends) but I'd consider the PS2 Slim a perfect little piece of hardware.
 
1. PS2
2. PS2 slim
3. PS4

Both the PS2 are great. The OG PS4 is really nice. The OG PS1 is okay. The PS3 is one of my favorite consoles of all time but visually I think there all pretty bad.
 
If we are including handhelds Vita 1000, though I hate holding the thing. Looks great though.

PS2 fat otherwise, PS1 slim a cute second.

All the PS3's looked like George Foremans to me and the spiderman font always turned me off.

First post is right :)
 
Toss up between PS1 and PS4. Maybe PS4 Slim.

I like when consoles go slim but I dont like rounded corners that much. I never really liked the PSOne. And I despise the PS3 Super Slim.
 
PS2 Slim looks great and it's tiny as hell. Original PS4 is pretty cool too.

After that it's PS2 > PS4Pro (though I haven't seen this in person) > PS4 Slim > PS1 > PS3 Slim > PS3 > PSOne
 
I actually really like the OG Ps4.
Sadly, the glossy part looks good for like a week. then it starts getting scratches just by looking at it.

I also like the light bar on it. Though I wish it was blue instead of white when the console is on
 
Honestly, gotta go with OG PS4. That's a razor I could use to shave my beard.

Follow up is PS2 slim, especially in silver. My oldest friend always had a Sony console since the original PS1, but I remember so often going to his house, playing games on a crappy TV in his room that his parents let him have (thought he was so cool) while we played everything from Cool Boarders to TimeSplitters to taking turns on Spyro and Crash, and him first showing me the Matrix trilogy after it came out on DVD.
 
I absolutely love their portable designs so the PSP 3000 and Vita Slim models for me. If I had to choose a home console then it's easily the last PSX model (the tiny one).
 
I think the OG PS2 is the most iconic looking system, but I prefer the PS2 slim of the PS2 variations & the PS4/PS4 PRO of the PS4 models available. For whatever reason, I don't like the rounded edges on the PS4 slim.
 
OG ps4 looks really nice, especially with the blue light on. Second would be the OG ps2.

One thing's for certain, the phat ps3 is hideously ugly.
 
PS2 and OG PS4 (Slim and Pro are ruined with those rounded corners) appeal the most to my current sensibilities. PSX gets a boost for the nostalgia factor, but not enough to top my list.
 
The original PlayStation design, a rectangle with a circle inside it, is quite iconic. Really. It's up there with the NES.
 
I'll always be drawn to the PS2. It's a bit odd at first glance (even back then), but it grew on me fast. It helps that the PS2 was an amazing console in general.
 
I like the original PS4, I think it's the most creative and has a certain future look to it. The PS4Pro has the beefy "I'll kick the other console's asses" look. Which I like. My favorite is the PS1, it was so simple yet innovative. I loved looking over in my room and seeing it.

Edit: I forgot PSVR if that counts, that would get a spot on the pedistol
 
The OG PS2 is my favorite. It's like someone took an 80's vision of the future and actually made it happen. There's nothing else like it.

1. PSX (Japanese DVR)
2. PS2 (Original Design)
3. PS4 (Original Design)
4. PSP (Original Design)
5. PS Vita TV

Edit: I forgot about the PSX. Thanks, aggienader.
 
I say the original PS2. Loved the design!

I also like a lot the PSVITA OLED.

PSP... mmm... so and so...

PSGO no thanks.

The worst is probably the PS3... big, ugly... the Slim was much much better!

PS4 is ok, is like similar to the PS2 in some way.

PS1 was just story, not bad overall but not so special either.

PSX is terrible. :D
 
I really like the design of the PS4. The PS2 slim was nice as well.

The fat PS3 was just horrible. Although I still have one of those sitting in my bedroom being used as a media machine. I don't think it'll ever die.
 
The OG PS3 is a fucking sexy beast and I will fight anybody who says otherwise.

The matte slim PS3, on the other hand, is the ugliest console I've ever owned.
