It must be terrible, coming up with something a bit different from the boring...
I mean, it must be the reason Sega almost went bust:
Master System
MegaDrive (and MegaDrive II)
Saturn
Dreamcast
And it's no suprise Nintendo aren't no.1 for console sales:
Nintendo Entertainment System
Super Nintendo Entertainment System
Nintendo 64
GameCube
Revolution
Playstation 3 is named Playstation 3 because it is the third Playstation. That's as far as Sony Computer Entertainment's originality goes.
Microsoft named their second generation console '360' because they do have originality, and are trying to put the message across that the system is all about putting you in the centre...atleast an attempt at originality.
It does seem slightly more original too, but I didn't think Microsoft would care all that much about that.
And if you do a "360" you end up where you started from. I thought they would want a name that says they are going in a new direction.
a) 360 is the launch price
b) 360 is its weight in kilos
c) 360 sounds better than 2
d) They ditched Xenon because they didn't want to be associated with something that was colorless, tasteless, monatomic and chemically inert
> a) 360 is the launch price
Thats a rip off!
The other day just out of interset i looked at the xbox games in Choice, I think, and they were selling Splinter Cell for £28!! And Rainbow Six 3 for 49.99!! An utter rip off!!
They will probably be about £100..!!!
Do people buy stuff out of there?!!!
360 is like WOWOWOOW 360?
Maybe
