My favorite console name is the Neo Geo X. It sound's like a robot cyborg created by some good guy that ends up getting corrupted to be bad and becomes the main antagonist of a 80's sci fi film lol. It's so satisfying to say. It sounds so modern and clean. Sounds like something the Jetsons would have. :D. I also like the Nintendo GameCube :). Its simple and cute. And some obvious ones like the Turbografx and Atari Jaguar. Very aggressive sounding machines.
For worst i would go with Nintendo Dolphin. Although it was Pre production prototype unreleased name. I am really greatful that they didn't actually go with that. It made literally no sense and i remember cringing at the idea of it lol. It makes me cringe just reading it. :D
I also don't fancy all the consoles with a string of numbers that come after the companies name. They are typically unimaginative. Nintendo 64, Atari 2600, atari 5200, atari 7800 ect...
Which names are the most catchy or cool to you?
Which do you not like? :)
-
Older consoles has awesome names that made them sound futuristic: Arcadia 2001, and Astrocade are two of my favorites. I also like the Intellivision's name a lot.
Worst name has to go out to mah bois at Nintendo with the Wii, which was further out-badded by the Wii U.
-
The Fairchild Channel F has to be the worst.
WTF is that? If you didn't already know it was a console, you would have no clue. It sounds like HAM radio equipment.
-
GameCube will always have my heart. As for worst I guess Wii U by default, don't really dislike any console names that I can think of at the moment.

Sega Saturn sounds coolest to me. Even before I started gaming, I was fascinated by outer space. I really liked viewing photos of the other planets in our solar system, so having a console named after one is pretty damn cool. Also, I like alliteration.
The worst one is the Wii. Ugh.
-
Dreamcast and Playstation are my favorite =) Least favorite is probably Genesis because i'm so used to call it mega drive that I just find it weird lol
-
I'd say the Wii U is worst than the Wii by name. It's two bad things in one lol
For best...Neo-Geo is actually a pretty great name.
-
Dreamcast and Playstation are my favorite =) Least favorite is probably Genesis because i'm so used to call it mega drive that I just find weird lol
Yeah, Dreamcast is pretty cool.
-
Wii U is the worst because it made so many people think that it was just another add-on for the Wii.

Best name.... Sega Dreamcast always sounded cool to me.
Worst name... I can name a few. lol
- Gamate
- Mega Duck
- Dick Smith Wizzard
-
It is so difficult to pick up only one...All Sega consoles after the SG-1000 have great names:
Mark III/Master System
Mega Drive (Genesis not so much)
Dreamcast
Game Gear
Nomad
...but for now I will choose Saturn. It is AWESOME!
And, of course, the worst has to be the Wii U.
-
I'm not really a Sega fan but I do like their system names. Dreamcast is probably my favorite.
There's plenty of bad or questionable names. Mega Duck, FM Towns Marty
-
Worst has to be the Xbox One ... cause calling the 3rd console the One makes a whole lot of sense.
-

- Dick Smith Wizzard
Haha yes! I thought of the Mega Duck too! wasn't it known in South America as the "Cougar Boy"?
-
Worst would be the Fijitstu FM Towns Marty. Coolest, probably Sega Saturn, or the Magnavox Odyssey.

Yes it was. Both are terrible names. Lol
-
Of course that the best name for me it has to be the NES and the worst Wii U, what the hell were they thinking, they should fire the person who picked this name >:(
-
Wonderswan or Super PolyStation
-
best names for me were dreamcast,gamecube worst names were wii,wiiu
-

Speaking of South America, here in Brazil we had an NES ripoff called "Phantom System". I think that's a pretty cool name for a console =D As for the bad one, the PS1 ripoff "Polystation" =P
-
PlayStation or Super Nintendo for the best console name. Worst? Easy. Wii U.
-
Best - Gamecube. It's literally a cube that plays games. You can't get anymore straightforward than that
Worst - Xbox one. (Seriously, WHAT kind of name is that?!)
-
With the Wii and Wii U name. Nintendo, I think wanted to prevent modern consoles from heading into becoming, adult only machines back into the child's hands of tomorrow. The Wii U, sounds vary child friendly, just like most of the games released on it. I can see why not many people in this forum seem to like it. Because not a single one of us are children anymore. ::).
I have a feeling in my study of the modern video game market video games of the future will make Mario and most other NES games, where you kill things look and play too violent for children. But hey I grew up in this cruel world. I look at the violence of the video game past as none today. I still play wolfenstein 3D and mario and have fun with them. but even the thought of an innocent plumber getting eaten alive by a carnivorous plant gave me the creeps at a young age. and I've seen so much fake violence that I enjoy fake violence as long as I know it's just a video game. Yet I still know deep We are all twisted.
anyway, worst name would be Steambox. ya just what I want a game console with steam coming out it's ass. reminds me of those nicotine vapor packs some former tobacco smokers use to blow steam instead of smoke. Hey, it seems like a great console to own :) just bad name.
Best name? Magnavox Odyssey. but probably the most primitive and boring console in my opinion but how catchy and fantastic the name is.
-
Some interesting answers here! My first thought for best console name is Sega Dreamcast, but Sega Saturn is pretty cool too. I've always thought the Astrocade and Vectrex had cool names too.
Worst has to be the Xbox One ... cause calling the 3rd console the One makes a whole lot of sense.
I agree. Microsoft, with all of their marketing millions, couldn't come up with ANYTHING better? Honorable mentions goes to the Nintendo Wii U. Though I grew to almost like the title "Wii", it was/is kind of weird and "Wii U" is pretty damn stupid. Still, at least "Wii U" is unique and I'll take that any day over a "Nintendo One."
