Seriously, the names of consoles this gen are just so, eh

Wii U: I didn't know what "Wii" stood for in the first place, this is just that, but with a U at the end. I guess it means that the console is about YOU?

Xbox One: Probably one the worst choice of words for a console, did they genuinely want to confuse  people and make them think this the first Xbox?

PS4: Nothing new here, just the fourth playstation, go on with your day.

Which gen had the best names in your opinion? I think it was 5th

Nintendo 64: It was in your face like "We are 64 bit and the others are 32 bit, GET N OR GET OUT!"

Playstation:  They said it was a station for playing and that is exactly what it was

Sega Saturn: Coooool, it's named after a PLANET. Don't really know what the console had to do with planets, but hey it sounds cool right?


Xbox One probably refered to MS wanting ONE box to control you entertainment, hence the HDMI input to control your cable box and all the video crap they were promoting at launch.
