It's horrible. It should have been Nintendo Next or Nintendo Nexus imo (that would fit the short name NX which sounds badass imo).

The actual name is NS in short. You are German and vivster said that you will like it because of that fact, so you will like it.

Hehe, didn't realize this... lol ^^
NS is going to be everywhere again in Germany!

Doesn't really bother me, most people on YouTube are starting to use NS though.

Let's be honest, it's a brilliant name.

It's short, to the point and phonetically works in all languages. Brilliant naming.

I like it. There's a great marketing slogan you can make with this to hardcore gamers

MAKE THE SWITCH

I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

I'm not sure it rolls off the tongue. Being such a common word, it requires you to say Nintendo first. Previously I could just say 3ds or wii, etc. Granted others you have to say out fully too to be understood such as xboxone. PS4 is only one you can shorten.

However, we could say "NS". That is likely what I'll do.
