Why is the shuttle not winning?
This seems wrong. Are you all blind.
It's a shame they never made a briefcase unit for the shuttle that looked like a little spaceport.

No way that TurboExpress/GT isn't on the top.... or even on the list
You should also add SuperGrafx TurboGrafx16 PAL TurboGrafx Vistar .......and there are a ton of clones that could be voted as well.
Not that it's part of your voting criteria, but I think the colors of CGII/SCD2 were coordinated better than the original PCE/CD2 briefcase. The TG/CD2 in the US was coordinated really well for what they were attempting. They were going for a bulky look because of the whole "bigger is better" concept. The white pce is the best of those you list, IMO But the GT/TE is sexiest of them all and the only hu based system that was sexy enough for both markets.... The Duo and LA don't count for hu-only. ;P

I love the original white, and that's how I voted. But the Shuttle is pretty awesome. I always felt that that's the form factor they should've gone with in the US. Would've made the CD add-on tricky, but fuck it. It was cool.

I always liked the color scheme of the Core Grafx II. It reminds me of the Turbografx.

I never really cared for the Shuttle TBH. Maybe if they had colored it more like an actual space shuttle it'd look cooler in my eyes.

Always liked the Core Grafx II, it's the same nice design as the original but in better colors.

Always liked the Core Grafx II, it's the same nice design as the original but in better colors. It's actually a different shell physically and a different hardware revision internally. I think that it is objectively the best looking, but can't bring myself to vote for one over another.

Always thought they were just the same shell with different colors and printing but now that you got me to go back and have a closer look I can see the differences between all 3. I think I still prefer the Core Grafx II though.

I still haven't voted because the GT isn't included..... too bad that the best isn't on the list.
And I wonder how many of those who voted the shuttle actually have one... The shuttle is quite underwhelming when you see it. A stripped down version of the PC Engine that wasn't built for much expansion or compatibility with the rest of the line. It also doesn't feel as well constructed as the PC Engine/Core version.
As for compact, again the GT wins. A self contained console so far ahead of it's time. IMO, the only minor flaws were it's power consumption, the issues with the contacts on the AC adaptor, and the rather short com-link cable. A few years back, I hooked up my DuoRX using the TV Tuner and played most of the way through Drac X using the Turbo Express as my monitor.
In no way is it fair to judge the screen to a modern screen - because in 1989, it was about the best screen available on any retail device weighing less than 20 pounds.
