Would you still have bough the PlayStation 2 if it was called the Drum Machine 2? Actually, I would have, sounds good, but when console manufacturers think of their console's name, how important is it?
Very is not the suitable word.
Paramount - better. The name of a console will and has decided the fate of the machine, the PlayStation, although comical and variation able, is actually a very intelligent name. PlayStation 2 - again, fantastic name...
Dreamcast - great name.
Game Cube - GCN has grown on me tho'.
X Box.
Discuss, I cannot write anymore - ouch fingers, on fire, must get water.

Especially if you tried to import, and asked for the exporter to send you some games with your NGC, and then asked for an adaptor, and whether or not he could chip it.

GAMECUBE Nintendo. It's the way they want it written
Maybe it's because NGC is the common name for a Japanese product very similar to K Y Jelly.
But what's in a name?
Why it's of vital importance.
The name must be right.
As must the shape and size of the console.
And it needs to have a handle, and be available in a number of colours.
And all of the leadshave to plug in neatly, round the back.
And the games have to be in suitable boxes or cases.
No one cares much for the games though.

The name shouldn't make a difference, as long as it's not something stupid like:
This-Machine-Is-Better- Than-All-The-Other-Ones-Out- There-Honest-Guv.
Then it doesn't make much difference.
This-Machine-Is-Better- Than-All-The-Other-Ones-Out- There-Honest-Guv.
Then it doesn't make much difference.
