Shits a brick....(Wii related)
As the internet is a buzz with the stir of Nintendo's apparent new name for it's revolutionary console codenamed: Revolution, one should calm the fuck down and wonder...what did we really expect from it all? How serious are we to expect a non-laughable console name to appear on a new console? The only company that seemed to have avoided incredible scrutiny is Sony, but even back in the 90's Sony Playstation sounded like ass. And the only reason it seems that Sony hasn't changed their console name is because it seems right happy at reminding people at how many generations they've dominated the gaming market.
Let's be frank. Game console names are like 3 steps below Car names and 1 step below names for FPS weapons. I think somewhere along the lines, as the video game geek matured and grew, we all come to expect some sort of lame console name that would put a typical NYC Bestseller Novel's title to shame. That or a Steven Segal film title.
I think in a way the game systems names are pretty self important and even serious in the realm of video gaming...the very same vein of seriousness that some people think that some gaming can be considered a "sport." There are no good console names, just ones that suck the least. Nintendo's console titles read off like a list of suggestions from a hillbilly who was a product of incest. Super Nintendo....Nintendo64, Virtual Boy, Gamecube. It's as if somehow Nintendo doesn't give their fanbase enough credit to discern the different powers of each system; let alone what the fuck the are buying.
I mean fuck...GAME CUBE......and it's even in a cube shape. You couldn't even get more obvious if it was translated from Japanese into "Electronic Funning Zap-u Box!" I mean what the fuck...there are only two other game consoles in the world that have their names describe their appearance...and both of them were very unintentional. That's the X-Box and the Phantom.
IMHO the new title is good enough to describe the entire direction that Nintendo is going. I mean why the fuck would anyone would want to name a console that could be confused with anything else? Revolution sounds like a distant removed cousin of Genesis. It's sure just as pretentious and considering that Nintendo is going in an entirely new direction for video games, might as well reflect that in it's name with not a typical name but a new one.
