i love the original xbox but the xbox one x is just so impactful. Especially if you crank the sound.

I'm pretty partial to the GBA one. Gen 6 really knocked it out of the park with these.

Definitely PS1, but I also like the GameCube and Xbox ones. Though in the last decade I've come to like and appreciate the simpler / more minimal startups of the newer consoles.

Here's an overview (without Sega or more obscure consoles, sadly):

PS5 and XS missing since the video was made before their release, while NES, SNES and N64 technically didn't have one. I wonder why no OG Gameboy though...

Personally, I like the OG Xbox and Gamecube, though the unused Xbox logo animation (aka Unused Brand ID) is very cool, too.
