My Yoshi 3DS, it's so cute!



Signature goes here!

Feel free to check out my stream on twitch 

Something that caught my eye because of this thread.

Launch - one matte, one gloss, chrome accents on both.

Slim - gloss and matte flip brands and PS drops chrome accent.

Launch - gloss and matte mix with sectional designs for both

Slim - white matte with black accents on both and PS drops sectional design.

Both brands consoles were opposite or copying/influencing each other as last gen went on in some ways, and this gen ended up much more similar in terms of luster, colors, and some design cues.

I came here to post this as well.

Second place would be the OG PS4. Although all models look good and sleek, the original looks best.

An honorable mention to the silver GameCube. Really loved that one.

OG PS3 Fat. It's only design flaw is how heavy it is. Big is beautiful. It looks like a luxury item because it is a luxury item!

Looked like a George Foreman Grill to me.

SNES, 4/10 - a bit worse than the NES. it looks way too mechanical and more like a cassette player than a game console

Keep in mind that there were a couple of variants to the Super Nintendo depending on Region.


I have to say, I prefer the consoles we got here (PAL SNES). They just look less "old" and boxy than the NTSC SNES.

Personally, I have a real soft spot for the PAL/JP SNES, its a really nice balance of looking cool but not overstated, simple yet not boring, approachable yet still like a quality piece of hardware.

 

The SNES Slim/Jr is also a contender, it's just so darn cute

 

Last but certainly not least, I absolutely love the look of the original fat PS3. With its sleek, curved shell, shiny black finish and chrome trim, it really look like a product from the future.

I really liked the look of the Dreamcast. Probably my fav.

You even needed two jobs to be able to buy it! :p

OT: My favorites are the PS2 slim (especially the silver version) and the PS3 Fat.

PS4 Slim has black colour as default though. I think white version is pretty rare. Which is a shame as it looks really better in white. I wish I could find it in white.
