Raddest_Chad 12/13/19 11:25:46 PM #12:	TBH, Sony lucked out by just going the number route. It works, people like it, but it wouldn't work for others to follow suit. Nintendo's only major goofs were Wii and Wii U, which are compounded by the fact their audience was casuals and old people that probably couldn't understand there was a difference. Only the original Xbox has a reasonable name. 360 was dumb. One was dumb. This new one is dumb. <cite>Raddest_Chad posted [p:931558975] in Why is Mic...

helIy 12/14/19 10:20:38 PM #19:	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. --- hi <cite>helIy posted [p:931596588] in Why is Mic...

Wii U didn't sound interesting, or even that it was something new, and New 3DS had the opposite issue where it sounded like something totally new when it really wasn't. DSi was also a pretty stupid name, but it came out in the final months of that system's life, so nobody really cared. Gamecube sounded juvenile but at least it got the point across and was memorable. Wii had the same issue, the original name of Revolution was way better, but given that they wanted a name that was easy for anyone in any language to say, they nailed it. --- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiCtAUrZbUk -- Defeating the Running Man of Ocarina of Time in a race since 01/17/2009. -- <cite>faramir77 posted [p:931599903] in Why is Mic...
