The best looking system by far to me is the Atari 2600 Heavy Sixer. It's like a piece of furniture!

Outside of that though, is the Super Famicom. Even now, it gives off a feeling of the future. It's sleek, attractive and at the least the one I have doesn't seem to yellow as much as the US model. Go Super Famicom.

Super Famicom and the Model 2 Saturn.

I also like the design of the AV Famicom!

colecovision?  Eh, the only cool looking thing is how you can fit controllers inside it.

Original red and white Famicom.

I hate the design of most consoles after the mid-80s when, starting with the NES and continuing right up to the current generation, they started going with the "make it look as much like a VCR or CD player as possible" motif.  

To me, the difference between the Famicom design and the NES design represents fundamentally different philosophies on what a console is.  

The Famicom screams out:  "Hey, look at me.  I am not just another piece of audio/visual equipment.  I'm the FAMICOM!  Look!  Red and white!  Doesn't that look fun?  I'm unique and screw everything, y'all better look at me.  I'm a game console, damnit."

The NES, on the other hand, says:  "Don't look.  Nothing to see here, folks.  Just another piece of audio/visual equipment on the shelf under your TV.  Move along, move along.  I am NOT a console, I am just another entertainment device like any other.  See here?  Yeah, gray and black.  Just like your cable box and computer modem.  Now stop looking at me."

You can imagine at parties hosted by mutual friends the Famicom would be sitting on the sofa drinking beer with the Colecovision and having a good old time, telling off color jokes and making a scene.  The NES on the other hand would be much more subdued, mingling with the CD players and VCRs, drinking a wine cooler and wearing a dinner jacket.  Putting on airs and all.

At one moment late  in the evening, the Famicom and NES would briefly make eye contact.  It would be awkward. They belong to different worlds, yet they both know that on the inside, they are one and the same.
