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! :-)

Yeah, but if you look at the specifications it's not actually a Cube.
I think it should be called the GameCuboid.
If they can't get the Cube bit right, how the hell will they get the Game bit right?*

*If you think you've seen that somewhere before, you have. I think FM or Meka posted it a couple of weeks ago. It's a damn good point though!

The GameCube isnt even a cube!
Do you think I would be succesful in suing them for breach of Trade Descriptions Act?

Maybe they should of called it S128.......maybe not then! :D
S128 is short for Sony 128 bit.

Actually PS2 is just the abbrieviated term for the Playstation 2, the name has only changed by the number on the end!
Playstation not original come on!!!
Playstation was the first then they decided to take the 2 letters P and S and make PS2! How original is that?!! and the third they will probably take P3!! Thats even more original!! Then they get sued by Pentium 3 and thats the end of Sony!! good hey?

How about the name 'Games Console' that would be sooooo effective! lol
So if the Playstation was called "Junkomatic" would you still buy it?
If you did I'd reckon you'd be put off by the name.
Names do matter, not to the gameplay but to the sales.
