Not sure how it will age looks-wise, but I think the Switch OLED looks pretty nice by the side of a big telly.
The PS5 gets the runner up prize for at least attempting to do something different, if only it was a bit more compact.

[Neon Ignition]

I almost voted for the LOU Pro but in the end the Tardis Xbox is just too effective a merging.

I suspect the Series S will do well but to be honest, though it's nicer in hand than in picture, it's a bland choice

[CMcK]

I want that TARDIS Xbox.

[Hirst]

Some miserable bits of design here, I've gone with the Series X original just on the basis that it could be put to the side and people would think it was a subwoofer.

I really quite like the OLED switch, but the bit I like least is the centre of the JoyCon grip.

That Dr Who one is an impressive piece of design but not something I would want myself. Controller totally ruins it, too.

[Dogg Thang]

I like all the white systems. As odd as it is, I think my favourite might be the PS5. It's kind of futuristic. Or retro futuristic in a way. Sleek and white and clean and the controller matches it so well.

[Cassius_Smoke]

The ps5 definitely stands out.

I went for TLoU console. Subtle and clean.
The Tardis is cool, but I wouldn't want to own it.

Here we ****ing go. Come over to the dark side Dogg, we like the PS5 and its ginormous, weirdly organic design here.

I haven't had a PS since the PS3. Maybe some day...

[Colin]

I feel like I'd just be picking the best of an average bunch here, not choosing because I genuinely loved the design.

[Neon Ignition]

I have to admit, the Dr Who controller is abysmal there

The OLED Switch... I dunno... the Switch is a hard one because the joycons are interchangeable so in this instance they're doing all the work whilst the system unit itself is as unremarkable as it could possibly be. It's one of the issues of the Switch in general. there's almost an absence of design which is why something like the PS5 catches the eye more.

[Atticus]

Switch Pikachu ... purely for the Joycon colours
