Every company seems to be hit and miss.

Big fan of the PSOne, and PSTwo, but the original devices looked horrible. The reverse is true for the PS3. PSP was hella-ugly at first, but got better as time went on (with the exclusion of the Go). Vita looks pretty damned cool.

Most of Nintendo's stuff looks like Tonka toys. Not really a fan of their design style. The Wii wasn't too bad, though.

 The original Xbox was hideous, and the 360 was bland. 360 S is really nice, though. The Xbox Controller S (the smaller controller for the Xbox) was perhaps the best controller ever made... the 360's is pretty similar, but I dislike the bumper buttons, much preferred the black and white buttons on the Xbox.

EDIT: I should point out that I think consoles, in general, have got better looking over time. I put this down to ever-improving technologies and better understanding of design than anything else. So, I don't blame Sega/Atari/Old Nintendo/whatever for looking ugly, it's the best they could do at the time.

Probably PSOne. And no matter how much I love them, PS2 and PS3 are fugly, especially the original PS2.

3th: NES (by default)
4th: Sega Genesis
5th: Nintendo 64
6th: No winner, they were all pretty ugly. If you force me to pick, I guess I would go with the PS2.
7th: Wii

I actually think the NES, and the original PS1 look good nowadays in a kind of retro way. I don't understand why people can think the PSone looks good though. I mean it's not hideous like the N64, but it pretty much doesn't have anything interesting going for it... In a similar way if you took away the stand and the blue light and the made it matte grey... the Wii would be in the same bracket.



Original PS3,XBox 360 slim and the Original PS1.

GameBoy Micro = the sexiest gaming system ever.

Really like that one, but I have to say I prefer the MW3 one for it's looks, and this one for it's clean color (It just looks so much more powerful than it is):



this gen. Wii is sexier!



Switch!!!

360 slim has to be the most aesthetically pleasing model. The box is so good looking I can firmly assume that a portion of trades and purchases towards it were solely because of how good looking it was. Now one would say I am crazy for saying this, but I have worked retail and certain people can like what a product does, but if it doesn't have the alluring look they wont buy it. It has to match the living room or be pleasurable to look at in other words.
