Proprietary Eponyms (I had to look that up). In much of the UK, Playstation is still somewhat the common name for a gaming console and Nintendo is for a handheld, regardless of what it actually is.

I dont think the Nintendo one is true.  Playstation and xbox get used equally now.  Even seen xbox used in news stories and soaps as the proprietary eponym.

Maybe I notice it less as I don't hang around kids as much as I used to but Nintendo one is a definite because at one point there was only Nintendo. I hear playstation used all the time still however Xbox is more common. Eitherway, all terms are easier than 'games console'. Hoover is easier than 'vancuum cleaner'. Coke is easier than saying 'Coca cola' or Pepsi. And on topic, 'Google it' is easier than 'search for it on the internet'.
