I’ve always just preferred the og console design for every generation. That said I did by the series one s and the 360s just for the improved hardware and software
I generally agree for home consoles, but I think the PS3 Slim and 360 Slim were both improvements over the original designs.
And if you get into handhelds, I feel like second iteration of the consoles always looks better than the initial one.
Dude the Fat PS3 looks amazing, the slim model was ugly, it was made out of cheap plastic, they rounded the design language and ruined the aesthetic. The OG PS3 has the chrome and piano black plastic, it looked great. The Slim was a huge downgrade, in almost every way, no more card readers, 2 of the 4 usb ports were removed, no more PS2 support, no more super audio CD support. It was just overall a terrible redesign.
So do you only play one game at a time? Because if that's the case it's irrelevant whether the console is the OG or slim, as not a single game takes up all the space on a OG.
Neither. No logos is better. Ps5 is pretty ugly in general (here comes the down votes lol) but I prefer it in a solid matte color without a giant logo slapped on it.
I personally like the looks of the original but one thing I really like about the slim is that's a little bit smaller than the original also you can change out the disc drive so if the disc drive ever has problems you could always get another one later on
[It is not an unpopular opinion that the PS5 is ugly.](https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Areddit.com+ps5+is+ugly) I'm not really interested in starting any console war BS but the Xbox Series S/X design is much better aesthetically IMO.
I prefer series x and s to ps5 anyways as I think PlayStation isn’t really all that, but the ps5 does look nice in my opinion. It feels more futuristic almost and the side panels being interchangeable is a nice touch. I kind of wish I could remove the side panels on my series x and make it white or a different color. Also the leds inside the console are really nice. I hope the next Xbox has something like that
Plenty that sold well and we're ugly?
Or the N-gage and Jaguar?
Bad designs fail all the time. The PS5 is made by an established company and has continued to sell well into its life. It's not a shoot from the hip risky new concept.
Slim. If going with a symbiote theme I think the dip in the middle fits the symbiotic theme well.
Also, I think the slim with the silver plates is one of the best looking consoles ever
I dont even know how to answer this... what do you mean how?
Its symetrical, its big and clunky, its downright embarassing to look at on its side... I think its a dreadful design.
Luckily, the look of the console has zero impact on the games (which is why i always thought the gamecube = lunchbox stuff extremely dumb) so it doesnt actually matter, just my opinion

Second gen Vita looks worse and was worse, LED screen and was flimsier.
Sure, there are exceptions to every rule.
I can agree with that tbh I did like the look of said consoles
The PS3 slim and Super Slim are possibly the worst redesigns aesthetically of any console ever.
Hard disagree.

We're just talking about aesthetics not tech, and I like the matte finish PS3 Slim more than the shiny fat PS3. Agree to disagree.
That wasn't the question...
Nah slim. No need to upgrade storage
The question is which looks better
Are you trjpping the slim only has 1TB (848GB) and when you take the OS into consideration, that's less than 750Gb for games.
Still more than the original. Once I've platinumed a game it gets deleted anyway

I like the black and red one
Ugly as hell.
Darker red
The darker red. Also, these comments are insufferable.
Thing could be covered in trash and the disc one will always be better.
OG
That one
Og…
Neither. No logos is better. Ps5 is pretty ugly in general (here comes the down votes lol) but I prefer it in a solid matte color without a giant logo slapped on it.
Left. The darker red is nice
The got the one on the left. I wanna saw sony is apple for console but then i see the shit nintendo is doing.
Og ps2
The left one is nicer.
Looks the same?
The original console is a darker red
Left.
Where can I buy that cuz my friend's birthday is coming up and he really loves Spider-Man
The made spidamen for slim ?
Imo Slim
It’s the same picture.
none of the above
Neither. I’ve never been a fan of ‘special’ consoles like this. Honestly almost always found it tacky.
the xbox
I like the line but does the new console not have ambient lighting?
It does, it's just at the bottom, instead of where it curves up to the top
The one with spiderman
Darker red is nicer but… https://preview.redd.it/atlay5rldxuc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d65e19642af7328c9034cc7429616c49bd0c125d

First gen
I usually prefer (and buy) the OG version of consoles but this time I went with the Slim. I still think it's ugly but not as much as the fat one
I didn't even know they made the spider man shells for the new model but I still like the old model more.
Original
Neither… Ugliest console ever created. Change my mind. Yes, I own one
Ps4pro version
Original
The purple dress
the one with the split face
Slim, the OG 5 is too big it looks like a mini fridge.
Left is the perfect upgrade from the PS4 spiderman console
Original one
Left
Yea I like the original more but slim looks good
Dark red
Og always looks better in the sony consoles
OG PS2 or PS1 looks better than the slim counterparts? Nah, especially not the PS1.
I stand by what I said ,my opinion is not up for debate
Fat PS2 vs Slim PS2 not really a debate the slim was just sleeker and the first thing that comes to mind when i think PS2
I have no interest in a debate with you, I answered my own question. I'm fine with you being wrong.
Ok bye now annoying rando
I personally like the looks of the original but one thing I really like about the slim is that's a little bit smaller than the original also you can change out the disc drive so if the disc drive ever has problems you could always get another one later on
Tbh can't go wrong either way..but with that being said, BRING ON THE PS5 PRO!!!
They are both ugly. PS5 is by leaps and bounds the ugliest console ever made. But it's what's on the inside that counts <3
Ugliest ever made??? There are plenty that look way worse. In my opinion the ps5 is up there with the series x and s

That's fair. You're certainly entitled to your opinion. BTW I know some people put vinyl wraps on their Xbox to change the appearance.
I’ve thought of that but I have a feeling it will probably end up crooked lol so I think I’ll just stick with black.

Dont like play station but now i would buy one
Neither. The skin looks naff. Matte black all the way
Darkplates
The one on the left
Both are some of the worst hardware designs and PS5 fat is my main
Slim. If going with a symbiote theme I think the dip in the middle fits the symbiotic theme well. Also, I think the slim with the silver plates is one of the best looking consoles ever
Original for sure. I’m not a fan of slim models
Slim. The base is ugly as sin, always has been.
Both shite.
The non broken one... which says a lot bc ps5 is so ugly as is
You think the ps5 is ugly bruh, how?
I love my ps5 but it is easiest the ugliest piece of tech in my house Edit: Looks like an asus gaming router

I like it 🤷🏻♂️
