I'd have to go with the wood grain Atari 2600, I'm a sucker for 70's designed electronics.

The MSX design space was such an exciting place.
For anyone curious about the above, it's like this:

Imagine Nintendo said "instead of manufacturing the Switch 2, we released the specs and invited everyone else to build their own. You're welcome to buy the Xbox Switch 2, the Sony PlaySwitch 2, the Philips Switch 2-i, the Sega Switch 2 & Knuckles, or the TRSwitch80 2. They're all guaranteed to be compatible with our software lineup." and then like, that actually happened.

Sounds similar to the 3DO's situation!
