Consoles in this day an age have to look the part as well as play the part.I mean is it fashionable to be a gamer now...It is going that way.So it is only right that us gamers play on some funky games consoles.
I mean some just look skanky.If you can cast your mind back to the Jaguar days,that was Ugly,with a capital U.The controller made me throw up.It was rough.Looked like Dot Cotton when she wakes out of her bed...It was just nasty.
But some consoles hold a sexy look.Look at the Megadrive 2.That has class that was umatched for its generation,sure you had the snes but it never had the evil look the megadrive holds.
It may have been slated for its "freezer" look but you got to admit,if you spend an hour with this baby in your presence you strangely seem to like its look,and off course im aking about the ps2.At first glance it is ugly but it is quite stunning once you get to look at it closer,with its blue and purple symbol,and its fierce balck exterior,you can tell from the look that this baby is packing some serious heat.
The N64 looked cool as well with its rounded edges and that gentle slope.Not to mention the huge symbol on the fron,which remains the best videogames symbol ever.
But as for the future,the X Box looks rathe col,going the same way as the ps2,with its black colour scheme.And that green is some what absorbing.The Gamecube is another neat looking console.Though it has been dissed with phrases such as "Lunchbox",you have to admit,The felling that you may own a console with a handle is quite cool,not to mention usefull.............lol.
Style is very important and I think this is one factor which the gamers have over looked but thankfully not the console designers

I would love to own all of the consoles, but sadly, I just can't afford, and I expect there are a lot of people out there who can't either.
But, you are right, in order to play all the best games, you will need to own all of the consoles.

Yeah the PS2 is really amazing to look at.
I use it flat because it's so much easier to use but when it's vertical with the V-stand it's one console design to remember.

I'm basing my opinion on how I think the actual console looks and on the movies of 5 games I've downloaded for the graphics. So HA!

Most beautiful console? I didn't read the post but I'll give two answers.
1) Best looking : GameCube
2) Best looking graphics: GameCube
