Yeah True About That, But Hey Look XBOX Sounds So Poor And Rubbish For A Console Name (Thats My Opinion) But Hey Look, People Are Still Liking It!.! (The Name I Mean)

X Box is such a generic name. Whenever somebody makes somethin and they dont know what to call it, they just add an "X" to the front of the word and thats what they call it. X Box is such a lame name.

Oh friggin well. The name really doesn't play too huge of a role on how a system does. I thought 'Saturn' and 'Dreamcast' were cool names. Fat lotta good that did sega. Then there is Nintendo who brainstormed up the incredible name "Nintendo Entertainment System". Zero work put into that name, yet the system was wildly successful.

Very good point...

Name really doesn't matter to me

since when the hell does it matter what a system is called? it's not even the system that matter's for christ sake's. It's all about the game's if a system has crap game's nobody will buy the system and it's game's. oh well that's just my 2 cent's.

You are right, name doesn't matter how system does.... but we are just saying its a bad name for a console in my opinion atleast.

I even thought Playstation2 wasn't that great. But Playstation was a great one, and it did soooo well in the market they had to release a sequel to the system and now its getting another one. Oh well......I dont mind. I love the Playstation Name....... and 1, 2, 3 doesn't really bother me much.

I don't think SONY could release a successor to PS2 without calling it some form of PlayStation. PlayStation is now pretty much a brand name, just like GameBoy. I think it would be a mistake for them to consider naming it anything else.

I also wouldn't be suprised if MS try to maintain the XBox brand. It would also make sense for Nintendo, if they stay in the hardware business, to maintain the GameCube brand - especially given how well it sits with GameBoy.

It really wouldn't bother me if I was buying 'The Cell' or 'PlayStation 3' - but from a consumer perspective, I think it's better to keep the PlayStation name.

i agree!!!! if i was sony i would keep it as playstation 3/ps3

MakgSnake · Dec 15th, 2002, 06:52 PM

I think Sony will name its next console Playstation3 for sure. We all know that, but I think they will be promote "The Cell" technology to some extent at the same time. Like on the Ps3 box and on games there would be "The Cell" written somewhere here and there.

But then again....its just a guess.

Well I do have plans on going to California in April, so I might as well go a little late in May to check it out. Nothing is for sure right now. But I think to check Kojima's conference and all, you need high level passes, which I doubt I'll get. There is a public open day as well... 18+ only allowed, I am cool with that!

As for Metal Gear Online....... I am pretty damn sure Kojima will pass some serious comments on the online project. I hope he does.

Ok back on topic..... So yeah, Ps3 sounds good as a name for a console. I just hope they make it if Not more, as sexy as the PS2!!!

Beretta55 · Dec 15th, 2002, 07:22 PM

mmmmmmmm.....ps3....sexy console....ps3 i can dig it!

but my comment's on MGS online is that maybe it's like a battle royal type game. first person mode or third person. like assalut the base the terriost's set up a base and a elite few have to take the base over. or just full out war two team's of foxhound agent's then bad guy's fight to the death the last person standing win's....but that's just my view.
