| I don’t expect anyone to be totally unbiased, since we’re probably more inclined to like everything about the consoles we enjoyed playing. But as objectively as you can, which console do you think looks the best, and which one the worst? Personally, I’d say the GameCube for best-looking. From its shape to its size, it’s easily the cutest console out there (the PSOne slim comes in second place).  As for the ugliest? Definitely the Pikachu N64. I want to like it, but I just can’t. The lack of symmetry and the color scheme are killing me.  |
| For ugliest I'd say the N64 in general even without the hideous extras on the Pikachu edition. I never liked the bumps and curves. The PS5 is probably second. It looks like a Renzo Piano abomination. Controversial opinion but I think the Xbox Series X looks great. It looks like a long evil Gamecube and I like how the Gamecube looks. Speaking of Gamecube, the Gamecube looks awesome, it's probably the best looking console ever. And speaking of Xbox, I also like how the 360 (specifically the white one with the silver disk tray) and the One X look. A bit of a strange choice for me as I never an Xbox myself and only played them at friends' houses but I love how these ones look. |

| Best: PS2 Worst: GBA |

| Edit: Changed my mind Best looking: Philips CD-i 450 model.  Admittedly probably not many have seen one up close, but it's really beautiful, I love my one. Worst looking: Any other CD-i model lol  |

| I think most of the Nintendo consoles look really good. The Wii, Wii U, DS, 3DS and Switch all look fantastic to me. Not really found of the others, but I must admit the NES and SNES became symbols of the gaming world and the pop culture in general, so they definitely grew on me. The PS3 and PS4 look good too. I also love the PSP and PS Vita. The PSP in particular looks like a bigger MP3, I just love its 2yk aesthethic and all. I definitely don't like most of the consoles from the late 90s and early 2000s tho, despite loving that era. The N64, GameCube, PS1, GBA and specifically the Xbox all looks like plastic toys to me. Like, they were clearly designed to appeal to little kids, but even as a kid I never did like them. So... I'd just go with the PSP for the best and the og Xbox for the worst. |
| Location: Turin, Italy Hobby: Music, karate, manga Favourite food: Hey, why are still interested in my stuff? |
| I love the design of the original PSP, it's just so clean and crisp. You were the coolest kid in class if you pulled up with one of these to school. Don't know about worse, but I've always found all Xbox console designs in general really mid tbh. |

Worse looking: Xbox one: it is like an ugly VHS. Best looking:  I keep looking back at it and the control is amazing and the fucking concept neat as fuck: "It is a cube... it plays games". And even it it were a terrible decision, the mini-CD/DVD (I think it was actually an special format, dk the name) were cool too. Dang it, even the boxes! They were cool and really sturdy:  |
 |
That I've owned, probably the best would be the Sega Dreamcast. It presses so many buttons for me. Yes, I even like the unusual controller grips. And the worst, shocker, is one I doubt anybody would defend. The Mattel Hyperscan. I got one of these for free from a neighbor before they moved out, and yes, the load times are as ugly as the console itself.   If you even consider defending this abomination, PLEASE seek help. |

My pick for ugliest console ever has to go to the R-Zone. The system you literally wear on your face. We thought we looked so cool in the 90s wearing this, nowadays though? Yikes! |

Theo1899 said: The PS5 is probably second. It looks like a Renzo Piano abomination. I say it's first. The PS5 looks like a fuckin' reverse oreo cookie that someone sat on. |
| I think all video game consoles look pretty ugly. There are no pretty consoles. |
| I have approximately 1 terabyte of anime on my computer. |
| I am gonna be 100% honest, I can't play consoles that are older than Xbox 360/PS3. Nothing against them, but it's just a product of its time to me. |
| If I had to choose between One Piece and a girlfriend...I think I'll go with One Piece |
