Hmm.. toughie.. Sega CDX for me. For it's time, it was beyond cool to afford one and it looked quite high tech.

There was something about that old manual RF switch (on top of the Atari, in the middle) that was just awesome. I loved the moment I slid it from TV to Computer in order to play my 2600. That said, I didn't really like anything other than Defender, Superman, and Raiders of the Lost Ark (I HATED Pac Man).
Actually, Air/Sea Battle and Combat were fun too.
Favorite design is the basic Dreamcast, but I also love the black Cube. The NES SP is awesome too. Still, nothing (other than a few other early consoles) has wood paneling like the Atari 2600.

the four-color controller buttons are a rad touch.
great logo, too. mmm. the US SNES looks like such utter shit. lucky PAL bastards.
PAL people got the same design as the Japanese?! No fair! The people responsible for the north american SNES and Turbographix 16 designs should be shot!!!

I'll go with designs that are aesthetically pleasing, or compact.
PSone
70001 PS2
Gamecube
Dreamcast
Genesis was cool at the time too, I liked the Powerbase Convertor, or whatever it was called that plugged in to play Genny games.

one of the worst things is the underside, which you can't really see in pictures. it's ... wavy. frilly. it looks stupid.
though the plastic is a really nice color. purple-tinged grey.
the SFC carts look way better than the SNES carts as well.

I happen to think the DS' design is very tight and solid. 2 game slots. I'm carrying Mario 64 DS and Yoshi's Island and I'm having a blast with the concept. The way you take out and put in DS games, the strap, it all has a very minamilistic feel and there's a use for everything, no space wasted. I like looking at the back and all the ports and slots...
Other than that, I liked the Dreamcast and the cube.

Hands down the original PC Engine. Incredibly compact and sleek. Nothing NEC did after really matched the PC Engine, although most of their consoles are very attractive (about the only clunkers are the Shuttle and Supergrafx). I even like the design of the PC-FX, it's certainly unique for a console.
Other than the PC Engine, I also liked the design of the Super Famicom and the Saturn.

My favorite is the Neo Geo. It looked expensive, with a cool Neo Geo font. Second ofcouse is the Genesis 16bit model 1. The system and controlers were very stylish, and very very impressive upon first sight.
I am going to go with a PSP. Ergonomically it is nice, the screen is ridiculous, and the exterior of the system is of such high gloss that it shines.
Those who honestly prefer the DS design to the PSP have probably never seen a PSP in person. I like the DS, but the silver plastic just seems so cheap. I don't know if it is the matte finish, or the way the top half comes down over the bottom, but it just seems like a toy to me. Id kill for a brushed aluminum/steel/ti DS. Or a black DS. Anything but cheap silver matte plastic.
