Will PS3 be the last numbered console?

[Mr Cool]

Anyone think they would actualy name the next Playstation PS4 or something new? I personally think it has gotta be something new PS4 just sounds kinda dumb.

[Scott]

I think it'll be Playstation 4.

And I really hope the next Xbox isn't Xbox 720. I cringe every time I see that..

Oh and how about Nintendo DiiC (The "ii" people are surrounded by Downloadable Content) ok no clue on that one but I still haven't grown to like the name "Wii".

[Mr Cool]

I still haven\'t grown to like the name \"Wii\".

Neither have I. I think they should have stuck with Nintendo Revolution.

[Scott]

Neither have I. I think they should have stuck with Nintendo Revolution.

Absolutely. Maybe they will revive that name for their next console.

[Mr Cool]

Absolutely. Maybe they will revive that name for their next console.

Revolution sounds too difficult for mothers and their 5 year olds.

[Scott]

Why do all the consoles this gen have the "e sound" in their titles anyway.

Xbox Three Sixtee
PSThree
Nintendo Wee

It\'s all part of the conspiracy by the Illuminatee

[rukisuto]

I just end up calling my Xbox 360 an xbox, just like the last gen console.
Never really refer to it by it's full name or even the 360.

You really think the next one is going to be called the 720?
That's just stupid.

[jakncoke]

There defiantly will be numbered consoles in the future, I don't Sony will name the next playstation.... PS4, because I read somewhere 4 is a bad luck number in the Japanese Culture.

[LiNuX]

yea, im with jak, i heard that too - just like 13 is bad luck in the US, 4 is bad luck in Japan - maybe they'll come up with a different name or screw culture and call it 4 anyway

[jakncoke]

I read a made up rumor and they made up PlayStation Galaxy and that got me thinking, that wouldn't be too bad of a name of the next console. Microsoft defiantly shouldn't name their console Xbox 720 or Xbox 3. I really hope Nintendo thinks of another name as well and drops the Wii name.

[Trunks]

I always gave sony props for sticking with their original name. I guess the Xbox kind of did, it's not numbered though. Unless I misted 359 consoles.

[EpsilonX]

I think Microsoft should rename their console altogether like Nintendo always does. Xbox is kind of a stupid word.

I think the 360 was a reference to "revolution", but I'm not totally certain of that.
Maybe they should go back to what Sega and Nintendo used to do. Super Nintendo Wii, Sony Mega Playstation, that sorta stuff.

[Shixx]

lol, yeah they should go back to the 80's.
Ultimate Playstation or UltimateStation
XtremeBox or XtremeMachine
Nintendo will probably think of the worst way to spell All, like Nintendo Ale.
or go with what the Wii was supposed to be, Nintendo Revolution.

[MacQuarie]

I'd drink Nintendo Ale.

I heard the reason that microsoft didn't name it the xbox 2 was because sony was already at 3. Also I think they might make a ps3.

[Samus-Fan]

What about the Xbox System?

Dude, no one has used the simplest names. I would buy a Xbox System

[rukisuto]

XtremeBox or XtremeMachine

I would definitely buy the XtremeBox, lol.
That's BA.

[otis]

They should call the next wii the "mint". lil' bastard prints money.

[KittyCat72]

The thing about Nintendo is that they usually try to have different names everytime. There's no way they'll end up with a Wii 2 or anything... it just doesn't fit.

Nintendo 64 -> Gamecube -> Wii

I think Nintendo is the most likely to have a different name.

[jakncoke]

ya but Super Wii does :/, just like before NES> SNES

[KittyCat72]

I was referring to the recent consoles. If they suddenly decided to go back to old ways a make a Super Wii, well, that would be weird. Not to mention that Super Wii sounds silly anyways.

[omgodzilla10]

I don't know anything about the next Playstation, but I found out when the next xbox will be released and what it's name will be.

http://www.techradar.com/news/computing-components/upgrades/after-xbox-360-microsofts-next-console-160821

It'll be named "Xbox 2011" Because of the year it comes out.

[jakncoke]

I really really doubt this

[Samus-Fan]

It'll be named "Xbox 2011" Because of the year it comes out.

That doesn't even sound good, nor roll off the tongue.
Xbox Two-Thousand and Eleven.

[Knibbler]

That doesn't even sound good, nor roll off the tongue.
Xbox Two-Thousand and Eleven.

That's not how it would be pronounced.

It would be pronounced
Xbox Twenty Eleven.

[Flab-Ender]

I doubt it will be 720, because the reason micro soft did 360 was to have a higher number than Sony, and to represent 360 gaming, with 3D effects and such. At least thats what I've heard and think. And knibbler has a point

[jakncoke]

I think 360= 360 degrees as 1 full rotation as in 360= the full gaming experience

[EpsilonX]

I always thought xbox 360 because 360 is just tryin to sound cool but it's really not. :-P (yes, i'm console racist)

xbox is just a stupid name altogether i think they should come out with somethin cooler.

361. haha

now that i think about it, theres not many consoles that have cool names. magnavox odyssey sounds sweet

I like the name. It sounds cool and it's easy to pronounce lol. Though I don't know many consoles that are.And didn't the Odyssey sell terribly?

[jakncoke]

Let's run through history of consoles and discuss what is terrible and okay.

Generation 1:
Magnavox Odyssey
Magnavox Odyssey 100
Magnavox Odyssey 200
Coleco Telstar

Coleco Telstar isn't so bad, Magnavox Odyssey is kind lame though

Generation 2:
Fairchild Channel F (retarded)
Atari 2600 (meh)
Mattel Intellivision (pretty neat)
Atari 5200 (retarded)
Vectrex(okayish)
ColecoVision (okay)

Generation 3

NES/Famicon (Famicon is fail, NES is simple and to the point, I like)
Sega Master System (lame)
Atari 7800 (so unoriginal)


Generation 4

Sega Genesis (cool)
Add-ons names (fail)
TurboGrafx-16 ( not that bad nor good)
Neo Geo (meh)
SNES ( bleh)


5th generation

3DO(retarded)
Apple Pippen ( retarded)
Atari Jaguar ( pretty cool finally, too bad it took so much fail to finally get a good name)
Nintendo 64 (bleh)
Playstation ( cool)
Sega Saturn (meh)
Amiga CD32 (....)

Generation 6

Sega Dreamcast ( cool)
PS2 ( took a good name and ran with it, but should have came up with something new imo)
Nintendo Gamecube (first good name since NES for Ninty)
Xbox (just lame)

7th Generation

Wii (pretty witty, Revolution was much better imo)
PS3 ( hopefully next gen they break away)
Xbox 360 (rehashed, but if what I think it mean is really what they meant it's pretty good marketing actually)

don't care about handhelds that's why I left them out

[DeadDreams]

How about all the companies get together and make a sweet ass mega console called the:

Ninboxstation :) or Xplaytendo...
