Now I'm sure most readers of this have heard the rumours that the next Nintendo console will be called StarCube or maybe GameCube, and I'm sure most people will admit, including strong Nintendo supporters (Which I am) that it's a tad, well, crap. Some may say its not the name but what the machine can do which counts, and its true, very true but the name still counts.
A good name can often sell the machine, its important as a selling point for the company. Dolphin I think is a great name for a machine, it gives the impression of sleekness, grace and just plain coolness. (To steal a line from Edge & Christian all you WWF fans)
Dreamcast is a good name, Playstation is a good name but StarCube? I don't think so!
Nintendo should either stick with the name Dolphin or choose something else, even if they put it upto public vote via their website or something along those lines, they really should change that name for their next console,
I'd love to hear what other people think of my comments and what they think of the name StarCube,
Thank You,

Would a rose by any other name not smell as sweet?
