Uglyiest Console in Your Eyes

[Dan]

What console do you just puke at when you see it walking down the street?

For me it has to be the NES, that thing just looks ICKY! Seriously I cannot be in the same room as that thing it makes me sick. I think the main problem with it for me is the colour, I seriously don't think there's anyworse colour you could use for anything. I've seen some modded NES consoles that actually look better.I also hate it's boxey design, I mean the gamecube is a box too but it looks a lot smarter and presentable.

I'd say runners up with be the phillips CD-I and erm I guess the virtual boy.

Aww man, I thought the North American NES looks sexy as hell. Nintendo was trying to disguise the fact that it was a console as most Americans had lost faith in the console market due to the video game market crash not too long before, so they gave it the look of a VCR instead. Apparently it wasn't uncommon at that time to refer to NES carts as "tapes". I just find it really interesting and I appreciate the way it looks as a result. The unorthodox design of the console did lead to a lot of cartridge pin bending but that's another issue.

Now, the redesigned NES? You know, this guy?

This is ugly to me. It looks like a child's toy. I actually dislike a lot of redesigned consoles. I hate my slim PS2. Sure, it takes up a lot less space but it just does not look as good to me.

Not technically a legit console but more off a knock off that i saw online...

Lol I don't even know what to say :/

The leaked PS4 images. It looks like someone mashed a PS3 and a 360 together.

Does the Wii U game pad count, mainly because it is the ugliest piece of console hardware that I can think of.

I think the original Gameboy looks pretty bulky and ugly. I also think the original DS design looks pretty ugly. Good thing they released the DS lite.

The Wii U. The console in general is very unappealing to me, and its poor design is one of several reasons why I refuse to purchase it.

PS1 The playstation controllers are all terrible but the PS1 specifically because it is grey, terrible shape to.

All consoles look alright to me, but if I somewhat dislike how one looks, it probably is the Gamecube; no need for that handle.

all consoles are beautiful inside and out
you shouldn't be hurtful
they have feelings you know

Most of them up until the Gamecube. Don't like the way the ps3 either, looks like a George Foreman grill.

The NTSC (North America) SNES, looks ugly:

The PAL (Europe) one looks much better in my opinion.

:O but it's so nice and shiny!
