Dreamcast, as much as I loved it during its short little life, was about the most pretentious sounding name for a console that I think has ever been.

Vita, could have been the only name that gives Dreamcast a run for the money on pretentiousness.

Xbox, was also on the pretentious side, what does that X mean? Xtreme Box? Please.

Xbox 360, not willing to put an Xbox 2 against a PlayStation 3, Microsoft decided to go with a MUCH bigger number with a 3 in it. Xtreme Box three hundred and sixty!

Xbox One, they out pretentioused themselves with this one. The community has since began referring to it colloquially as the XBone.

Wii U was a weird one too. The Wii was weird enough, but it became a household name in the months before the launch of the console. Wii U always sounded strange, like an old tugboat horn.

GameCube sounds like a child's toy, and it didn't help that it also looked like one.

the Xbox gets its name from its developmental stages. it was originally going to be called  the "DirectX Box" since it would be a gaming console running DirectX, but it was later shortened to just "Xbox"
