Forums - Gaming Discussion - Rename a console from past gens

If you could rename a console from the past, what name would you give it?

Think about those onsoles from previous gens, what they offered software-wise or feature-wise, what they lacked, what they innovated, the possible drama around them, or whatever you remember from those consoles the most or you think made them distinctive and rename the console(s) with one of those things in mind.

Lame example:

Wii = Nintendo CasuCom

Shoot!



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

Around the Network

PlayStation Portale = EmuStation Portable (it had its own great games. this is purely sarcastic)



I like this idea :)

Nintendo Wii - WAG-L
Playstation 3 - Second Mort-Gage
Xbox 360 - BroForce
PSP - ROMcom
DS - Style Us

That's all I have for now




Super NES- NES 2
Nintendo 64 - NES 3
Game Cube - NES 4
Wii - NES 5
Wii U - NES 6
Xbox 360 - Xbox 2
Xbox One - Xbox 3 (duh!)
Gameboy Color - Gameboy 2
Gameboy Advanced - Gameboy 3
DS - Gameboy 4
We should currently be playing Gameboy 5.

Sony is doing everything perfect when it comes to naming.

Yea, but I think the shipped sailed on Wii brand.  Even if they named it 2 it probably wouldn't have sold that many more units.  Most those Wii consumers are gone to f2p smartphone games.  Only the true Nintendo fans are left on Wii U.  They have to convince console gamers to buy their next system.
