Sony got it right by just sticking to a conventional numbering scheme. It did get a little crazy, what with them calling the slim Playstation 1, the Playstation One, and then releasing a product called the PSX later on, which was just a DVR that could also play Playstation 1 games, however everyone had already been calling the normal Playstation the PSX.

Then you get into their portables, with the first being the Playstation Portable, which is great. It tells you precisely what it is, you know what to expect. But then they released the successor to it, which they called the Playstation Vita. Which means absolutely nothing. The word Vita itself means "a biography or rsum.", so no help there whatsoever. Then they released the Playstation TV, which you would assume based on the name it was a television. At the very least, possibly a television cable subscription, but no, that was called Playstation Now. Instead, the Playstation TV is just a Vita sans portability.
