I re-read my post and it sounds kinda angry. It definitely wasn't my attention. I know you weren't claiming it was angry - I just noticed it when reading it again.
Speaking of official names - NES and SNES fall under this discussion too.
The Atari naming doesn't bother me as much since Atari branded the VCS as the 2600 after the 5200 was released. Maybe VCS should be added to the console name though.
It would be like calling the 5200 - Advanced Video Entertainment System
I also think generation or chronological organization would be nice in the browsing section. Maybe you could browse by name, generation, or chronological. This might be a mess to program though.
Really no one else cares about this issue other than Exonerator?
It doesn't really bother me but if it were my database I'd use the official names of each system, so company name in there if that's the way it is supposed to be. I'm not sure about alphabetizing or going by year of release. When I look at the list I'm more distracted by the fact that the left column doesn't line up at least closely to the bottom of the right column That right side sure is a lot longer.
By the way, if you were to go by official names it might make sense to rename the Atari 2600 since that wasn't its first name. It's certainly the most widely used name but if it was switched the original name (Atari Video Computer System or Atari VCS) and alphabetized then it would be at the very bottom of the Atari system list.
