Great names for consoles

[Traxus]

In light of the new Google console sounding pretty uninspired, I've drunk some coffee and come up with a list of the best console names. In time, perhaps historians will look back on this thread with wonder in much the same way we view that ancient spark of imagination that caused our ancestors to develop an understanding of the movements of the heavens and the origins of the universe.

Great Names for Consoles:

• Abyss
• Phallux
• Unit
• Bong (also the console's startup noise)
• Speedfre4k (implies 4k streaming)
• Ego
• Bone Machine
• Omen
• DAMN.
• Quab
• Ribeye (delicious)
• Ladybird
• Blade
• Grave (pronounced like the tempo marking)
• Game Sack
• Cycle
• Brick (ie. building great things together)
• Drank
• Bidet (ie. streaming)
• Ding Dong (again, the startup noise)
• Requiem

Do codenames count? If so, I'm going with Scorpio (Xbox One X) or Dolphin (GameCube).

 

[Lant_War]

[Oudone79]

[ghibli99]

What was in that "coffee"?

 

[Sleve McDichael]

GameSphere

 

[collige]

I want someone to release a console called "Brick" just so I can see ERA and Reddit threads about people bricking their Bricks.

Are "Blood" and "DNA" going to be launch titles for the "DAMN."?

 

[Unknownlight]

Ego is such a bad name for a product and yet it's the one name in that list I actually really like.

 

[XVerdena]

Arcadia

 

[Laser Man]

Fanboywarhorse (short: the FBW)

Shlootbox (best versions of Fortnite only on Shlootbox)

no numbers? so disappointed

 

[Goldenroad]

Super Nintendo was a great name. They should have just stuck with that naming convention.

Super Nintendo
Ultra Nintendo
Mega Nintendo
Supermega Nintendo
SuperUltraMega Nintendo

 

[EchoSmoker]

Megachonker

 

[Revolsin]

Switch is actually the best name.

Not overly gamey, not overly casual, easy to say, easy to fit into sentences, and perfectly defines its own core concept in one word.

Honestly, they couldn't have done better.

Sounds like a Loot Crate rip off tbh

 

[SoundCheck]

I seriously hope you don't work in marketing because all these names are a offense to life itself.

Speaking of which, I always thought Nintendo should have stuck with NX before revealing the official name. But the Switch kept growing on me after the reveal: iconic, clever and easy to distinguish.

Shit, great market research there, Johnny. That's why you get paid the big bucks. Can we sue them? Someone get the lawyers in here. I need alternatives, people.

I still think Sony did it the best. PlayStation is an aptronym and the numbering system removes any ambiguity over which systems are the predecessors and successors.

 

[CRIMSON-XIII]

i agree that PlayStation is the best name. It is easy and is the place

 

[JusDoIt]

SJW Agenda

 

[stan423321]

[Darkkahn]

btw Google Abyss comes fully equipped with hidden monitoring devices so as you gaze long into the Abyss, the Abyss also gazes into you.

[TheRealTalker]

Playstation I feel is still the best game console name followed by GameCube and then Game Gear

it is very hard for a new competitor or even those like Nintendo that change the name all the time to come up with more better names

then there are those that aren't even trying like Stadia

 

[inner-G]

OP, I'm holding out for a purple Drank

The best console name for real is probably Super Nintendo.

 

[Dust]

I really liked Jaguar as a name. PlayStation is fine too.

 

[Listai]

Tergle Berg and Horble Gorp.

 

[Amibguous Cad]

You've heard of the Sega Genesis, but you'll be blown away by the Sega Deuteronomy!

 

[Gunpei]

Phallux

What is this? A combination of a dick (phallus) and a big toe (hallux)?
