Forums - Gaming - Why the PlayStation brand name is the strongest brand name in video games

Demotruk on 24 March 2009

Sony became a brand when they switched their name from Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo, in fact even before they did they were calling their products "Sony TR-55" etc.

Nintendo is also a brand, although one they're not using as heavily any more, that's why the Wii is the first Nintendo console who's official name does not contain "Nintendo". The DS's official name is "Nintendo DS" whereas the Wii is just "Wii".

see here is your problem---you are trying to use false info as the base for your argument


nintendo is a brand, go on say it...BRAND

once you understand that simple concept perhaps your arguments might make more sense and you can stop putting up bad posts

ALSO

no one from your side has been able to disprove this one yet

"i repeat myself---nin trying sailing the uncharted blue ocean was and still is the biggest risk of the big three"

perhaps you could try that since you will never be able to win the "brand" point

He said ''They are re-deisgns of the same machine

 

So he missed the word. He should say ''upgraded'' not ''re-deisgns.''

He thinks that the words "company" and "brand" are mutually exclusive. Which of course, they are not.

OH THIS REALLY IS EPIC.

 

Nintendo Company Ltd

 

(任天堂株式会社 Nintendō Kabushiki gaisha?) is a global company

 

Nintendo developed into a video game company

 

Besides video games, Nintendo is also the majority owner of the Seattle Mariners, a Major League Baseball team in Seattle, Washington

 

has produced several home and portable video game consoles since 1977. Home consoles include the Color TV Game (1977), Nintendo Entertainment System/Famicom (NES, 1983), Super Nintendo Entertainment System/Super Famicom (SNES, 1990), Nintendo 64 (N64, 1996), Nintendo GameCube (GCN, 2001) and Wii (2006).

11 Nintendo products compared to 4 PlayStation products? More than fair.

 

Some strong-ass brand isnt it?

at 2 up--agreed

Some companies are the brand where as some brands cant be companies

here....let me type slowly

t h e  p r o d u c t    i s    t h e    m a c h i n e ....  t h e    b r a n d     i s  N i n t e n d o .......

there did that help...i know its a hard concept to get..it does not happen often in business where the company and the brand are the same thing...and i know it gets confusing when the brand spawns a new clicky brand name like thing with the wii

 

but for the most part you seem like a smart (all be it stubborn guy) so follow along and come to terms with the fact that a company that has been in business for more then 20 years has been able to market and slogan their way into NAME BRAND reconigtion level.

 

i think now you have jsut dug your hole so deep you cant see the light..but here---*hand exit card* use this and you can just admit you were wrong and me and others (come on guys) will let you walk away with out rubbing it in your face
