PS2 was iconic and, as @Sumo said, the logo you could turn was a class touch. OG Xbox was a joke in comparison.
PS3 was shit - Xbox 360 won that gen.
OG Xbox One was horrible but the One X and One S were better than the PS4.I definitely agree that a console should be minimalist and unobtrusive in design. Just don't understand where PS5 is aiming at? Maybe the West Coast Customs / pimp my ride sort of customer?

Xbox 360 won that gen.
Actual sales numbers were neck and neck, but the 360 was definitely more popular in the USA and that's where a lot of the worlds media comes from so it had an outsized cultural impact. I think that generation did define what still seems true today that Microsoft are the masters of software and Sony the hardware.

This to me is what a console should look like, box shaped with just enough detail to identify it. Can't see the PS2 being bested in that regard.
