I was thinking about this lately, but I always loved the look of the PS2. I I think the black and blue color scheme works really well. And I like the two levels like the top and the bottom part of it.

Second to this, I think the Dreamcast looks really great. The angles on it make the console look so compact. The orange light on the console is placed really well too.

What do you like?

the 2600 and the coleco telstar are the first that come to mind. it's a shame wood grain fell out of fashion right as game consoles fell into fashion! i also love the the grey variant of the Saturn. Panasonic got two hits in a row with the 3DO and their GameCube-compatible DVD player thing.

honorable mention goes to the Daewoo CPG-120 which I only just learned about today. it's a consolized MSX2 that looks like a cross between the Enterprise and a Roomba. i can't decide if it looks magnificent or awful and it's arguably not a console to begin with but hey

edit: oh, and sharp's twin famicom! in general companies that made other kinds of electronic appliances had a way of bringing a certain class to console design without eliminating the fun

If we can pick home computers that lean into cartridges, the Atari 800XL is a real winner. Nice two-tone finish, classy silver buttons with a plexi trim oiece covering the power light.

I prefer the TI-99/4a, but I like your pick too.
