Forums - Sony - So the name Playstation OMNI ..who else like it?

PS4 is the best choice for the brand.
i do like Omni though but what I'm thinking is
USA + Europe = PS4
Japan = PSOmni

4 is only bad luck in japan so why put the whole ps brand in danger globally when they could just call it a different thing in japan. everything would still be the same.

The only good name is PS4.
These retards from Sony wanted to call PS2 Playstation 2000.
I hope that they will change their minds one more time and call a new playstation a PS4.

LOL i can actually imagin back in the 90's that would have seemed a really cool idea. although it just reminds me now of Pokemon 2000 



Not me. Sounds stupid. I would bet they continue the current trend and just end up calling it PS4. MASSIVE ad campaign to "rebuild" whatever damage was cause during the past few years. Although, PS3 sales have pretty much repaired that damage already lol.

I don't think we should expect a "Vita" name change.



Not a bad name, actually. Certainly much better than Vita or Orbis anyway, for example.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

haha yeah I should have guessed. Oh and I don't know if you got the answer to your earlier question about why number 4 is bad..it's a japanese thing where in Japan the wording for number 4 is similar to the word death so basically number 13 in the west kind of scenario

Yeah, I got it. I still kind of feel like that's a weak reason. If it affects Japan that much then they could just change the name for the Japanese Market.

It's a really strong superstition for some Japanese, to the point where the number 4 is removed from elevators and whatnot.



I absolutely hate the name Orbis so anything else sounds good by comparison.

Omni fits Sony's ego pretty well, I can see them going with a slogan like "Playstation Omni: the omnipotent gaming console"



Signature goes here!

i prefer omni to 4 to orbis.



They should name it PS6.



4 ≈ One

Hmm, so exactly like the number 13 in The West. (Which I could care less about.)

I could see them changing the name just for the Japanese Market if it turns out they go with PS4.
