In my opinion, the Wii and PSP have some of the best looking console designs. The Wii is very sleek and high tech looking while having a nice small form factor. The blue LED light mixes well with the white of the Wii unit itself. Everything about it just seems incredibly well crafted, which is interesting seeing as Nintendo's previous consoles have all looked a bit childish in my opinion. The PSP is also incredibly sleek looking. It's a very simple rip-off of the basic GBA design, but it doesn't look nearly as cheap. Extra points goes to the PSP Go for perfecting the high tech design look (though, overall, it's worse due to a lack of disk drive).
My votes for the worst looking consoles go to the original Nintendo DS model, the Nintendo 2DS and the PS5 disk edition. I don't really understand how Nintendo could make the original Nintendo DS model that ugly. It looks like they saw the PS1 and thought "how could we make that look go with a portable device". The gray and weirdly slanted top just don't work for me. The lite model they released afterward looks like the "true" version, whereas the original model looks like a prototype. The Nintendo 2DS is just incredibly childish in design. I know that's the intention, but it throws me off every time. The PS5 disk edition is just huge, ugly, and looks like it has a tumor. I really don't like the design at all. It reminds me of something people in the 90's or early 2000's thought looked "futuristic".
