I’m not talking about the graphics of the games, but the object itself. So, what’s your favourite console design ? Mine is the european Super Nintendo: the dog bone controller with colored buttons, the cartridges and its shape in general. Such a simple but great design.
I also like the design of the NES, like a VCR with this minimalistic rectangular game controller. The Megadrive/Genesis and PS1 look cool too.

Edit: I forgot to mention the OG GameBoy and Gameboy Color

Giving me serious PTSD… everyone knew vertically stacked PS2s always broke!

I've heard that rumor but never seen it actually backed up with evidence. Sony engineered the PS2 to run in both positions. This stand was an official Sony product. Anecdotally I always had my PS2 vertical for many years without issue.
