Best and Worst Platform Revisions

[Wman1996]

Best

• PSOne: Smaller and even had an SKU with a cool LCD screen attachment for car rides and other occasions.
• GBA SP: Clamshell design, lighting, rechargeable battery
• DS Lite: Slimmer and brighter screens
• PS3 Slim: A much slimmer console at a great price. 
• PSP 2000: Slimmer, brighter screen, and a much-needed doubling of RAM (from 32 MB to 64 MB). 
• Xbox 360 S: Slimmer and built-in Wi-Fi
• Xbox One S: Smaller and includes a 4K Blu-ray drive. 
• PS4 Slim: Very simple but it's cheaper, better-looking, quieter, and slimmer. 

Worst

• Wii Mini: Already got an issue with the Wii Family Edition for removing GameCube controllers, GameCube memory cards, and a stand? Say no more, there's something worse. The Wii Mini takes the Family Edition and removes the internet and 480p/component video output. The loss of features is not worth what you would have saved back in the day.
• PSP Go: This was too ahead of its time in Q4 2009 as far as digital distribution goes. While it did include 16 GB of storage, most core gamers would have to pay up to get more memory sticks. 
• PSP Street: No Wi-Fi, mono speaker, no microphone, etc.
• 2DS: A bizarre dual-screen slab. That's the bigger problem than losing 3D support. The button layout is also quite weird.
• Xbox One S All-Digital: A lazy SKU right here. The optical drive was ripped out and the slit closed, but there is now a void in the shell if you pop it open. Not to mention it retailed for $249.99 while still only having 1 TB of storage. it did come with Forza Horizon 3, Minecraft, and Sea of Thieves. But if Microsoft was going to charge $250 anyway, they might as well let you pick 1-3 games with a voucher. 

Any I didn't mention probably just didn't come to mind or are in a grey area. 

The slimmer PS5 might belong in the worst category because:

The digital is hiked to $449.99. Revisions should be the same price or cheaper, not more expensive. While the console SKUs include a tiny vertical stand, they don't include a vertical stand. You have to pay $29.99 for that. While I'm a function over form person, I'm still interested in form as well. The slimmer PS5s look really similar to the older PS5, but uglier. There's an extra divide in the plates now. I was really hoping for a more angular look that PlayStation is more known for. Maybe we'll get a PS5 Super Slim one day that looks more like a PS4.
