Forums - Gaming Discussion - Favorite console design

Probably Wii. Simple and elegant.
Honorable mention PS3 fat for looking elegant and intimidating (I call it "the mothership")

PS4 just looks messy (like someone failed at stacking two ps2slims also extremely unpractical design when trying to plug in your cables without being able to see the back)
One looks like a brick (to boring)
WiiU to long and the "round edges" are bad design.


Only PSWii60 and later (because I cant decide for the retro ones)

Hahaha, it seems I am the only one that likes the xbox one design.

1- white xbox one (waaay better than the black one)
2- gamecube
mm dont really like playstation 4 design (even though I love it as a console)

Fat PS3. Sleek, shiny, classy.

PS4 would actually be one of the worst in my eyes, with that wonky slanted shape and dull colouring, it looks ugly as sin.

The fat PS3 was pretty good looking. Damn was that thing heavy though... It took the sacrifice of more than 3 Wii's to summon one.



I really like WiiU for both aesthetics and the deeper and less wide design! PS4 is good for this too but WiiU is the smartest of all! Like how did no one think of this before? Or did they and I just didn't know about it? That extra shelf space is never used and I'm always running out left to right! It just needs to be big enough for a disc to be inserted.

Jet Black GameCube and GBA SP. GB micro looks beautiful as well.

NES - retro chic
Gamecube, PS One, and Wii - just adorable
PS3 Fat - looks very nice standing up

The GBA SP and the DS Lite are my favorite looking handhelds



I'm personally a fan of the PS4's design.

My honorable mention would be the Wii U.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

I never really cared, but I did prefer loading discs on top like the PS1 and GameCube so those were nicely designed to me. Only issue ever had in terms of design is if they are bulky and hard to fit under the television on a shelf.





im in between fat PS3 and the black PS4
