Wii will rock you.

So........ what do you think nowadays?

Nintendo was right. It would grow on us eventually. But when it was first revealed Wii was about as stupid as when XBox was first revealed...

I still remember hearing the name "Play Station" for the first time. I couldnt imagine a stupider name.

That was never stupid. Think about it. A high end computer system designed for CGI is called a workstation.

So what do you call a game console with (at the time) a powerful graphics chip? The Playstation. ^_^

[FM-77]

I think Playstation is an excellent name for a system. Much better than previous names for video consoles: Super Nintendo. Mega Drive. Turbo Grafx. Ultra 64 (I'm glad they renamed it)... those are truly the worst names ever. Even worse than Wii!

They should've named it Über-Station instead...

Agreed, Genesis is MUCH better...

PlayStation was never a good name. Everyone was calling it GayStation in those days, if i remember. All the guys at the local Game Gallery were laughing about it the first time I ever heard of the system. It sounds normal NOW, sure, because everyone is used to it.

Well maybe you just hang around the wrong people. Everyone I knew  and talked to at the time of launch thought it was cool.

[grahf]

Or maybe YOU hang out with the wrong people. See how opions work?

No, but I do see how opinions work.

It's still stupid

Wii is a great name , I think people are a lot more used to the name now. I'm surprised more people aren't making fun of the name XBOX 360, I still don't get what that means.

This is true.
