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.

This is for worst not best. Dreamcast is the best name ever. Seriously.

 

Also Xbox was named after Direct X. X is not pretentious. Look up the word pretentious. X was used in everything in the late 90s to early 2000s. It was XTREEEEEEEEEEME. That's also how Extreme was spelled then. They were trying to be cool/edgy.
