Or you could grow up an accept that the world does not revolve around you, and that there is no reason why the Japanese oriented industry should cater to whining Americans like yourself. Infact, Nintendo and Sony should give their products Japanese names that us Westerners find difficult to pronounce - just to spite you for your selfishness

| misterd said: You think Nintendo based a worldwide brand name based on what a few American immigrant can or can't say? Wii worked because the name implies togetherness (and urine), and because the two "i"'s look like abstract representations of people. The name simply summarized their philosophy for the console. Now, I'll admit PlayStation is a very early 90s name, and XBox very late 90s attempt to sound cool. Both could probably use a new name, but they've simply sunk too much into the branding. They can't just drop their old names the way Nintendo can. Nintendo is "brand", so they can change the console names all they want. Sony and Microsoft's names are too tied up in other properties to be used for console branding. That is, when asked "did you get the new Nintendo?" everyone knows what it means. But asking"did you get the new Sony?" it could mean a tv, receiver, computer, console, etc. |

Well J man, there's a school of thought that might agree with you.
during the HD disk format wars, Some magazines etc. predicted that Blu-Ray would catch on quicker due to it being easier to say and remember than HD-DVD, so you might have a point there!

N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!
I bet with a friend that Blu-Ray was going to win the HD-format war, our arguments were technical but also we both had "name" reasons, mine was that Blu-Ray sounds way cooler and people like to say it, his was that HD-DVD sounds closer and more familiar to the popular DVD... I guess i was closer to reality XD
Wii for me sounds silly (and a name for obvious penis jokes), i was afraid that would reflect on the console, but in E3 when i saw the potential, i admitted that i was wrong, but i still like "Revolution" better, i guess the name didn't stay because it was way too hardcore for the targeting audience...
I still like "Playstation" better, "Xbox" doesn't attract me (although "360" was a nice touch)...
