Since, I've already given a serious reply:

Why are they called the Mario Brothers when one of them has the first name Mario? There is nothing super about that.
Why is it called Dragon Quest, when you play a human? Shouldn't it be called human quest?
Why is he called Pac-Man when he isn't going away anywhere?
How can they call it Metal Gear and not have any Metallica?

And lastly,

Why is it called the XBox 1, when it is the third console? It's like they can't even count at Microsoft. Zero, 360, 1,... Hey man, that's just not how numbers work!

I believe the Mario brothers last name is actually Mario as well.

It's Mario Mario

and Luigi Mario

Yeah, but does he have any character? Feels more like an empty husk that could be replaced with anyone else to me.

Samus is the same way but a character none the less. Link is a character now. He has a history, he has a story, he has a name.

Samus is a good example. All of her games are called Metroid, they are not called Samus.
