I hope the final name ends up being "Stream"... then the first thing I'll do is buy two of them and cross them just to see what happens. 

The last console was the Wii and the new one Stream. What are they smoking at Nintendo HQ?

Stream is just rumored.  If it is Stream, then you will get "Streamcast" jokes thrown at it, because people insist on comparing Nintendo's console to the Dreamcast, particularly of the Cafe console gets its own screen.  I figured, might as well get it out of the way now, when it may not happen, then face the onslaught later of the name (thus the thread).

The Dreamcast died because Sony FUD'd it, and bet right about DVD.  They tried to repeat this with the PS3, and Blu-Ray, and it didn't work.
