NS is fine. DS wasn't too short.

As much as you want three letters. It won't happen. It will be abbreviated NS by most people.

I want it to be three letter so I can keep the formatting neat in the Amazon thread. How other people abbreviate is up to them.

Well I'm just going to throw a 4 letter out there for you.... NiNS

NiN like Nin Inch Nails but Nintendo also starts with Nin and then S for Switch.

I think NIS = National Institue of Saftey but I'm pretty sure NiNS doesn't stand for anything.

But why would you do that? I'm asking for three letters in order to keep my formatting neat.

I'm sorry I'm a difficult person. Needs to be close to something like NES.

I see no problem with 4 letter abbreviations considering we had the SNES.  I get your point though cause I used to abbreviated GameCube....  GCN...  While now I just go with GC.

How about NS1?

This is the main reason I want three letters, although it also helps with the main list too:

PS4: 4 in the top 100 / 1 in the top 50 / 0 in the top 20 / 0 in the top 10
XB1: 1 in the top 100 / 0 in the top 50 / 0 in the top 20 / 0 in the top 10
NS1:
0 in the top 100 / 0 in the top 50 / 0 in the top 20 / 0 in the top 10

hmm, what about NSX?

That way you`re keeping the NX alive as well. Plus people often refer to the PS1 as PSX rather than just PS so why not apply the same to Nintendo?

 

Are people happy with this solution? I'll use this if you are.

I also recently reduced PSVR to PVR which I think makes sense.

Eeeh... germany disagrees.

 

NSX on the other hand is ok.. But I will call it "The Switch".

It's just for the Amazon thread, not a general term I'm expecting everyone to use. It's just for neatness:

PS4: 4 in the top 100 / 1 in the top 50 / 0 in the top 20 / 0 in the top 10
XB1: 1 in the top 100 / 0 in the top 50 / 0 in the top 20 / 0 in the top 10
NSX:
0 in the top 100 / 0 in the top 50 / 0 in the top 20 / 0 in the top 10
