I really think the Wii looks sweet in black, if I ever get a Wii it will be the black one. Nintendo always made ass-ugly systems, but the Wii looks really slick and even better in black. I've always thought that this played at least a small part in the Wii's success.

Who didn't like playing games a beautiful purple cube? Nintendo's consoles are always good looking at least. The Wii is definitely the best looking.

I think the GameCube is one of the ugliest systems ever made, specially in purple (looked like a fisher price reject). IMO their best looking system before the Wii was the original NES, for its' time it looked pretty cool and very different from all the other systems. The n64 was ok, but the bright logo and weird shape didn't help. GameBoy SP wasn't bad and the GameBoy Micro was awesome. With the Wii and DS Lite Nintendo finally realised that the appearance of the system matters too. But IMO most of their stuff just looked really cheap and toy-like.
