I have recently read in a couple of magazines that The Big 'N' are planning to release their next console in 2005 along with the next Gameboy. This is great news for all Nintendo fans. I believe that each new console should be given a new name (not just have a number stuck on the end of it.eg. PS2). I think the name of a console is very important as it will go down in the history of consoles. Sony and Microsoft are also planning to release their next consoles around 2005 with the names "PS3" and "Xbox2" (how original), I think the name "Gamecube" is great but the name "Gamecube2" for the next big console, im not so sure. Anyway, thats my opinion, what do you think? Got any suggestions for new names?

You are a wise person and I totally agree with you! Yeh, Nintendo is a very respected games company and what ever they descide to call their next console I know I will get a good qaulity console. Afterall, Nintendo practically built up the gaming industry to what it is today. I think the name should be a name that can be shortened .eg. "N64" - which kind of just rolls off your tounge, if you know what i mean. "GC" just doesn't do it for me!

Oh now come on, The Gameboy updates all are backwards compatable so they are all 'Gameboys'.

Hey, I just added Pheonix for the fun of it, Nintendo didn't actually use this name for the first basis name of the GC.
But it is a great name anyway.

I think they should stick with Dolphin, or Pheonix. They're great names.
The New Name or, what it should be:
The Nintendo NintoS
The Nintendo NintoS
SEGA Pringle Eating Championship ver. 3
Whaddagame!

You think Pringle's tubes actually play games?
Has anyone ever tried?

It'd look nice if it actually had a Pringles tube design on it.
Or not.

Yep, I agree.

The thing is, developers stick with the same names because they sell consoles. The Playstation name is a huge selling point for Sony, and now a household name.
However, I do agree with Tyrant. Personally, although I love the console, I just don't like the name GameCube. For the next generation, Nintendo need to wake up and work out a unit-pushing name and a sleek design that won't attract annoying, laddish insults. The name 'Nintendo' though is held in high regard, and whatever they do, they should be sure to whack their name in front of it all.
