The problem is, it gets confusing when you add letters to add letters or numbers to it

Nintendo Switch [NS]

Making it NS1 isn't good since unlike the the PS and Xbox, they are easily distinguishable.. PS1 = 1st console, since every console after it is PS2, PS3, PS4 etc. and with the Xbox, it's actually called the 1 so X1 makes sense too. NS1 isn't Nintendo's first console, and who knows if they make another console named the Switch as well? We don't call the GameCube GC1 etc. because there is only one GameCube even the SNES isn't the NES2

NSX just makes it confusing. People who didn't know that the codename was the NX wouldn't get it, Nintendo Switch X? We don't use the codename to name any of the other consoles, so why the Switch? But suit yourself for calling it the NST or NSW or the ABC if you want.. :/

I dislike saying Switch to refer to Nintendo's system, I like NS.

..its like a fusion name of the NX+DS.

Switch = SWT



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

NSX is also a sports car which could lead to some confusion.

I don't like NS, it's synonymous with the National Socialists or Nazi Party



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

I can respect wanting to maintain format consistency. It keeps things cleaner, editing simpler, and just provides a better presentation.

I personally think NSW is pretty on point. Nintendo Switch

For everyone trying to break formatting consistency, you are not the type of anarchy we need.

So that people get it confused with the band Inxs and that sexy Acura Roadster.
