| pokoko said: I think gaming console history actually proves that the overwhelming majority of people care about the console, not the name. Ask gamers about their favorite consoles of all-time and I bet you'll hear a lot of numbers mentioned, especially "PS2." On the other hand, some of the most creatively named consoles have been less popular. I very much doubt that the name plays much of a factor, if any, in people tossing out consoles, either. Perhaps the name of the console is really that important to you but I believe we have more than enough evidence to say that most people feel otherwise, especially with Playstation having such reliable success and beloved iterations. It's pretty clear to me that the perspective of the average customer isn't much troubled about numbered console versions. |
People dont base there purchase on a name, of course however popularity is besides the point.
Its just a nice little incentive to know there is more to a name than just a number. Like the meaning behind the number 360 or One or Xbox itself as well as other consoles like the Switch.
Ill buy anything if its good enough and suits my needs weather it has a number or meaning behind its name. I just add alittle more respect to a name that has meaning etc. My Samsung S6 is forgotten since i moved to an S8 and my S8 will be forgotten once i move to a S10 etc.
