Physical console design? Atari 2600. The black slots and wood grain front with the sleek angular design is still peak console styling IMO.
User interface design? Xbox 360 Blades. Hands down. Easy to navigate, easy to understand, and good potential for minimal advertising abuse.
I appreciate how sleek the Mega Drive model 2 looks. Without any of the life support modules, of course.
mega CD is the best add on ever made, and the best looking too. I will happily be slightly inconvenienced on this hill.
Even though I had the model 2 growing up, I really like the model 1 Genesis/Megadrive. Had a kind of futuristic/sci-fi vibe to me.
Weirdly the 3DS XL for me, I think.
Super Famicom or ‘this is cool’ Saturn
The GameCube in a cool color (like Spice Orange). Not just because I like orange. It has great contrast with the grey and black parts of the console. And the whole thing is wrapped up in a tidy, aptly-named package!
Nintendo GameCube
Purple, had a handle for carrying and the gray perfectly offset the purple
The 3DO FZ-10 looks much cooler than one would think the console deserves based on its reputation
I always liked the translucent purple N64 and the controller that came with it. If they made a GameCube that way it would probably be my favourite.
SNES.
The NES was a box, and the SNES had lines.
but the American SNES was also a soulless box.
