Not even memeing

>>7368021
looks like a space station

>>7368602
I always felt like it looked like a 90s pc crushed into a tiny console

>>7368021
you know it's true

>>7368021
the Sharp Twin Famicom is definitely towards the top of the list

>>7369120
I have one, it's probably the most aesthetic console along with the PSX.

>>7368021

>>7368602
It looks like it's on life support, a abomination similar to the Sega CD32X

>>7368594
much nicer looking than other 80's systems

>>7369140
unironically the most fun object ever crafted

>>7369140
looks like a toilet seat

>>7369164
ya a toto electronically warmed toilet seat

>>7369130
>>7369140
true the PS1 has an interesting aesthetic to it where it's practical but not to the point where it becomes ugly, essentially shedding most of the remaining Toy veneer that most of the major home consoles had been wearing since the Famicom/NES

>>7369226
idk why all sony's other consoles are so ugly. Only PSP and PS1 were pretty.

>>7369269
Fat PS2 is fine for a repurposed unused Atari computer case design, and both the Slim PS1 and Slim PS2 are also respectable reductions of their more chunky original kin, though I do agree that the PS3 is pretty ugly, and the PS4 is okay in a unremarkable way, PS5 is too new to definitively establish opinions on but it's certainly unique

>>7369313
the plastic bevel lines on the side are unattractive imo, especially where the slots and ports are competing with it. not a fan...

>>7369140

Yeah it's the best, a design classic

>>7369140
Yup. This was the peak. Nothing will ever top this. PS2 was an admirable followup but that's it.

>>7369226
I miss the toy look of old Nintendo though. Look at it. PURE soul.

>>7368021
Late 80s-early 90s as fuck. I love it.

>>7369313
Didn't Sony straight out buy the Falcon design from Atari in the 90s?

>>7369313
ps5 is literally the xbox 360 but with cockroach wings

>>7369269
I think their handhelds look great, as do their slim designs but the first models always look like ass to me, even the ps1

>>7369164

GOAT

>>7368021
is wii retro

>>7368594
The Power Base has the best 80s-future aesthetics. Its better than Mega Drive, and obviously than NES-toy.

>>7369584
psp looks next gen compared to vita

>>7368021
Yours and pic related are the ONLY consoles that truly have great aesthetics. I mean how the fuck can you beat wood paneling?!

>>7369141
It's a clean setup, a power cord, and a video cord. Nowhere near the the same level as the Sega CD-32X octopus.

I always liked the panasonic gamecube. most probably think its a messy layout though

>>7369612
Yup, retro just means your childhood.

>>7369985
Looks fucking amazing, especially that controller. Always wondered what its special GB Player looked like, nice.

>>7369164
>PS1 looks like a toilet seat
Am I a joke to you?

Unironically this.

>>7370017
Jag looks nothing like a toilet because it isn't white.

Gorgeous.

>>7368021
I'd put the WonderMega in the top tier for looks.

>>7368594
the reflective plastics, the tasteful green LED, the flowchart instructions.

perfection.

>>7370051
>rubber chicklet keys

>>7369650
not really

>>7369602
best clamshell design

>>7369602
man it's weird that old, "powerful game consoels" feel so small these days.

why are consoles so fking big now

>>7369996
i really wish it was the official gamecube model. Would have made the gamecube look like a more serious and grown up system

>>7370419
It's even better with light on.

Original JP Saturn, Famicom, and JP Mega Drive are peak console design

>>7371270

>>7370051
10/10 in Bongland

>>7371874
Why does it use a ripoff of the TI-1250 keyboard

We where robbed.

>>7372617
its an interesting design and maybe even "good design" but there is no fun in it at all.

>>7370485
The Q has a big flaw though. It uses a full size DVD tray and there's no real protection for the smaller Gamecube discs. And it's built in such a way that if something jostles the system the disc can get lodged inside the machine and require disassembling the thing to get it out.

>>7370482
Heat dissipation. The Dreamcast is the first system with an actual fan as far as I know and it was loud as shit. These things have been built to battle heat ever since because when they fuck up that part it's catastrophic (Xbox 360).

>>7370419
You have to go with the right version, dude.

>>7373803
if you have to make shit bigger than the original xbox to cool it off maybe just throw in the towl and admit that console generations need not be 5 years anymore

>>7373808
disliking the blue button

>>7373808
looks like an IIDX controller

>>7373841
I think that's actually what's slowly happening. Microsoft isn't even really delineating between their machines anymore. They're just releasing games for "Xbox" and selling different hardware configurations for that purpose. "Xbox One X" "Xbox Series X" and "Xbox Series S" all seem to function like PC builds with somewhat different specs.

I could sit here all fucking day and post 70s consoles. They were so fucking beautiful and futuristic.

This shit looks so fucking cool.

>>7372617
Were*

>>7372617
We were robbed twice

>>7368602
Or something you'd find on one in a movie.

>>7371874
Definitely the winner and I don't care what anyone says.
It's a shame these fucking things are basically extinct now.

>>7373826
I like it. I wish consoles had more PC-like designs. I also like it when a console is set up vertically rather than horizontally, and that's why I like the much thicker Playstation 2 over it's slimmer brother.

>>7373826
Looks great on the outside, but whoever designed that case made sure it's hell for the customer to disassemble it again.
