i didnt like how the origonal PS2 looked. the front design is narly and the vents on the bottom are a bit natch imho. The N64 was also a bit of a dud on the looks front imho. The origonal GBA was also a bit naff (though the Sp is lovely).

The PS1 look kinda odd to me personally. I think it was cuz of how the disk drive worked. But honestly, nearly all the old consoles looked big and bulky.

PS1 looked great I think. It was all downhill from there though. PS2 was quite ugly and the PS3 is horrible looking.

Xbox or X360. really ugly consoles.xxThyLordxx

thats why the 360 got a design award in japan

XBox 360 awarded Good Design Award... in Japan!

This is surprising. I didn't know that the XBox 360 case was designed by a Japanese design lab.

The machine was designed by Hers Experimental design lab. in Japan, lead by Mr. Chiaki Murata and Astro Studio in the US, under the direction of Microsoft's Jonathan Hayes. From the start of the project to its final design, Microsoft constantly tested the design with users all over the world. With this technique, they have been able to create something that appeals not only to the Japanese consumer, but to people all across the globe. The simple, curved design contrasts starkly with the major processing power inside the machine, and gives a refined look that can be coordinated with any interior. Their words, not ours.

Xbox was too big and bulky but not the worst.

N64 was weird too IMO as was the gamecube,

Don't recall the other consoles, the unfamous ones but I'm sure they're probably ugly too.

Also PS3 I find weird looking IMO

IMHO, the top loader NES. It's in demand since it didn't have a spring mechanism like the original NES and thus it couldn't wear out, but god... It's like it fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. Plus the controllers sucked compared to the originals.

Now imagine a comparatively gigantic looking NES cartridge poking out of that door on the little hump.

I know im going to get flamed by teh sheep, but the SNES was UGLY.  Light grey and purple, gross.  And I dont know what you people are smoking, but the PS3 is the most beautiful electronics device ever conceived.

I never even KNEW there was an NES design like that :o Was it released when SNES was new? The controller design seems to be influenced by that. But I've never seen such a mismatching of continuity in case design. It's like 3 different products fused into one mishapen monster, ughh.

Yes, it was released after the SNES. I think a year or two later. By that time the NES was pretty much geriatric, so there wasn't much advertising outside maybe Nintendo Power.

Have any of you ever seen a PS3 in person? It's the best looking home video game console ever. Ever. It's got a beautiful gloss shine, a gorgeous color. It is well designed and attractive, with an internal disc drive. It's very nice looking. 360 also looks pretty good but with the external power brick and external disc drive along with the color and materials used detract from the entire package. Wii looks good. Simple design, internal disc drive. PS3 and Wii are more functional from an aesthetic perspective than the 360. 360 is like a big bad howling banshee.

Original Sega Genesis  Atari 2600  Sega Genesis Nomad (the dumb thing wasn't even symmetrical)  The original PS2 -- I'm a cow, but I won't kid myself-- this is one of the most un-sexy electronic devices I'd seen at the time  But, it would certianly get a good run for it's money from the old Xbox. Better thought-out look, but WAY too big and bulky.  But this wouldn't be complete without an appearance from... PIKACHU N64!  And what's worse, Nintendo broke all the kiddies' hearts by making the Pokeball be a power switch, and not a button. No pokeball pushing fun for little Jimmy. :(
