I don’t really like any of them. I mean, I wouldn’t put any of them in open view in a room that’s not a dedicated gaming/hobby room. Some look better than others sure, but none I’d really call ‘pretty’. The material used for the shell is often ugly, especially in consoles pre-6th gen. Basically, every console that’s made of plastic and looks like it is not good looking, because the plastic look makes them look and sound cheap. 6th gen onwards the look and feel of the material gets better though and it’s less of a problem. Especially in handhelds. Handhelds get the better end of deal anyway as far as I’m concerned, they’re often better looking. I like the look of things better when they’re more neutral, more plain looking and aren’t trying to scream how cool and edgy they are.

I guess the DSlite and DSi are the ones that fit most into that category, I’d say those are the best looking consoles.
