Which System has the better name?

it's simple which system sounds better saying, and has the greater name

Playstation or Xbox Or Nintendo

For me it's Playstation the name is just natural and it just sounds amazing.

not sure from those three they're all kinda the same for me, i like saying sega saturn.

EX-Bawks ...because it rhymes with Boss (like a Bawse, no?)

Playstation.

The name is awesome.

This is where we separate the fanboys from the men...vashkey

And that pretty much sums up this entire thread. You just gained my respect good sir.

I like em all. Although the one thing I like about Playstaion is that they number their systems (1,2,3) unlike Nintendo or Microsoft. I mean we went from the Wii to the Wii-u. Would've been better to just call it Wii 2. Same goes for Microsoft, the 360 is a nice name but what are they gonna call it successor, 720?

Playstation sais it ALL.

Well, you hardly ever say PlayStation 3, you just abbreviate it to PS3. You generally leave the Xbox out of the 360, and the Nintendo out of Wii.

Between PS3, 360 and Wii... I choose Wii, cause it is only 1 syllible!

Out of Xbox, Playstation and Nintendo, I'll take Playstation.

I'll vote for Playstation.

Wow I wonder what system will win here on Cowspot?

playstation which is make more sense as game console

play sation is come from worksation (old name for PC) replace work with play there

All three current generation consoles have lame names.

Wii? Seriously?
Playstation 3 just screams "we have no originality in naming".
Xbox 360 says "bigger numbers mean better stuff".

Nintendo isn't really a system...it's a name of a company. :P

Eh I don't care for any of them.

Don't really care actually. I've got no beef or love with any of the system names, although the name "Wii" was used for stupid jokes for a few years which always pissed me off when I was talking about it.

PlayStation is probably the best name, but the "3" at the end of it makes it lose its appeal.Eponique

Playstation, because it says what it is. Xbox could be anything and Nintendo just sounds like a brand that could make anything.

PC. Damn sexy.

Dreamcast seams like the most original.

Playstation, it's NOT even up for debate.

Playstation.

The name is awesome.

PAL360

Sony PlayStation 3?

A Station where you Play?

---

Microsoft Xbox 360?

A Box named X?

---

Nintendo Wii?

As opposed to he, she, you, or I?

---

Only the Nintendo DS (Dual Screens) has a relatively normal console name this gen.

---

Sega always had epic names for their consoles (Nomad, Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast, Game Gear, SG-1000)

Mega Drive, closely followed by Master System.

All of them sound horrendously bad, including the playstation.

Though i gotta give it to SEGA, almost every one of their system names are pretty bad ass.

Nintendo.

I don't know what it is.It just sounds fun.Plus,Ninty sounds good.

Honestly, I think the name "Playstation" is beyond lame. It might as well be "toy box" or "super fun happy console". In terms of description, GameCube fits best. Dreamcast sounds better.

"You have now arrived at Play Station on 3rd Street. The next train for Grand Central will be departing in approximately 15 minutes."

"Hey guys, this is my box. I named it X. It is my X-Box and it is MINE. I can make it do 360s...watch!"

"...Anyone want to play with my Wii?

I own PS3 but I have to say while PS is cool but Xbox sound better.

Edit: Damnit, GS forum double post bug :roll:

I like playstation the best. Whenever I read the word "Xbox" I think of it like xBOx and the x's are lame decorations for the word BO the same way teenagers think its cool to decorate their gamertags in xX's because they htink it makes them look hardcore

Gamecube

never liked the name playstation..

so you play so its called play and the console is a station? play station? um ok whatever.

sega? too short and wierd

nintendo is a household name.. xbox sounds pretty cool..any of those 2 i choose.

Sega had the best console names easily.

Xbox and Dreamcastare great names

This really is like trying to decide which turd is best.

I'd only say Xbox 360, if I could say simply 360. Xbox sounds a little dry. It has little imagination especially when you realise it simply means Direct X-Box or Direct X set top box. The only reason Xbox is some what cool is because MS heavily marketed it.

The Wii/Wii U, just sounds silly. No two ways about it, no marketing in the world can make that sound cool. They could paint wii on a 747 and it still wouldn't look cool, people would just call it the flying wee. I wonder how many people thought it was a joke the first time they saw it. They gaming media laughed at the name.

Playstation sounded cool a while ago, but Playstation 3 just sound stale now. Sorry, they've just been riding the name out for a good long time, I understand it's a brand but wow.

Last gen i'd say Dreamcast, but I gather this is about the current gen. I remember this episode of CSI where one guy in the lab suddenly says, "have you got that Dreamcast yet, I hear it has real nice graphics". I just lol'd, that was some random product placement, but I kinda liked it in a weired way.
