To me is has to be Playstation 4. That name brand recognition is still strong and still clear cut distinction as a new system. If you go a new naming convention then really need to make massive marketing push. Also, if you do not go "4" then I feel should drop Playstation as well, because a Playstation Omni could be confusing for people. I know that seems silly, but I know so many people that find "3DS" and WiiU" confusing as distinction from previous systems. |
I agree here, but it seems to me that Nintendo systems are mostly targeted towards a younger/ more casual audience who would naturally be less aware of gaming news, hence the confusion... Bu I see Sony consumers being more aware of the naming, and therefore less confused. Just a thought tho. :P

I simply feel Playstation 4 requires only marketing promoting it, not clarifying what it is. People get numerical increases. That's a 3, this is a 4. Whereas when you have names you have to explain "This is the Playstation Power, it is the new Sony home video game console and successor to the Playstation 3" or even worse "This is the Sony Ion, it is basically a new Playstation system". Removing those hurdles makes it much easier for millions (and not just casuals) to go "oh, I know what that is!" and move quickly to evaluating buying it.
