Yeah, the first Sony machine had an original name. The PlayStation. I think that Sony were too lazy to think up a different name for their second console so they just called it the PlayStation2. I think they should of been much original. Look at Nintendo. At present they have the N64, and their next 128-bit console will be called GameCube.

Sega released the Saturn, then the Dreamcast. Both original names.

What I ask you now is what do you think the future consoles will be called?

Sony: ?
Nintendo: ?
Microsoft: ?
Sega (If they do make another console): ?

For Sony’s next machine, please don’t say PlayStation3! :-)

Actually there is unconfirmed news that after Pokémon has been on the Gameboy Advance and gamecube, there wont be any more Pokémon games.

I got that news from www.bulbagarden.com

Junkomatic sounds good to me... as long as it disposes of my junk not creates more.
There's probably a cube in that Game Cube somewhere... Maybe they'll make the power button cubical. Of course you could just saw off part of the machine to make it cube shaped.
You know, they made the name Playstation, I suspect, when someone was standing at a TRAIN Station and thought I wish I could PLAY on my console in this station.
The X-Box is called that because every single one is a terminal linked to the giant soul resevoir owned by Billy Gates. They drain you soul out as you play and place it in a special box which then transfers it to the resevoir. Then Bill Gates uses the souls to be fuel for his bid to become a computer god. Henceforth shall he be worshipped and know as Bill the Lord of all things digital.

Sony: PSTwo (a scaled down, protable PS2 to make it seem snazzy when the PS3 is released)

Nintendo: PokeDome (continuing the everlasting Pokemon money machine, combined with another unusual design)

Microsoft: JazzWagon (after a competition held to choose the name is rigged by students)

Sega: PlayStation 4 (after successfully copyrighting the name before Sony do, in an attempt to live off the success of another console - a bit like the PS2 is doing now)
