LOL. That would never happen.

Hmm... why does everyone call these the Gamecube TWO, and the Xbox TWO? They're probably not going to hold the namesake of their predecessor just because the playstation is bland and will use the generic name over and over.

And win the console wars over and over.........

I think that it will be Xbox 2... But not GCN2... I think it will be named after an animal. Like a donkey or a toad.

Gamecub2 is a tentative title. Like Zelda GC. I only use it because there is no name. I doubt Nintendo would use it because they rely on their company name to sell. Though I know people who didnt even know MS made xbox and were planning on buying it.

I think people would buy cube2 for the Nintendo name and Xbox 2 for the XBox name. Playstation is somewhere inbetween, I mean you MAY buy it cause its sony.

Ditto! I've got WAY too many good games to play right now to be thinking about future consoles.

wow...you really are a hater

SCEA bland? Try smart and creative. The knew that with the success of the Playstation, a lot of casual gamers would instantly recognize the name 'Playstation 2' as opposed to something different. I know people who, when asked about 'Gamecube', have to ask which company makes the system. Also, SCEA has easily the best, most creative, and funniest damned advertisements (especially commercials...I just saw the Santa Claus one the other day...you should check out the SOCOM, Ratchet and Clank and ATV Offroad Fury ones...as well as oldies like the original Crash Bandicoot commercials) in the industry.

and how is the name 'Playstation' more generic than 'Nintendo Entertainment System' or 'Super Nintendo Entertainment System' or 'Nintendo 64' or even 'Gamecube'?

Bah, forget it...I can tell when it comes to gaming, you're not one to be part of any kind of intelligent conversation.

...

At least Nintendo put their name in their console name. Although not many people name it.

CubeMan, I think the next Zelda will be released on the GameCube. I'm hoping for a SpaceWorld 2000 style. :D

Of course, the sequel to that as a launch game... together with a new Mario game... :drool:

Name recognition... ppl know that Nintendo has been in the bussiness since the beginning... I hope. :)

Well... not exactly the 'beginning' but more the start. :)

They restarted the beginning of gaming. After the crash, they were the ones that brought back gaming in all its love and glory:D (From what I know, if this isn't true, then meh)

Angrist 12-15-2002 10:47 AM

Yeah they've been around since DK... that was in 1980 or something??? Then in... 1983? came the NES...

Lot of ppl think that was the beginning... :)

Joeiss 12-15-2002 12:55 PM

Hey Stu, easy on the defensive.



And technically, it is called the Sony Playstation 2. Not just Playstation 2.

GameKinG 12-15-2002 03:28 PM

Like I said, nobody cares if its sony. Nintendo uses its name as recognition. Sony uses 'Playstation' as its recognition.

Dyne 12-15-2002 09:44 PM

Yeah, by around Playstation 7 I think it will get old--if the fans like the name so much. It was a good name for a first console, but hey, how do you know Nintendo didn't name it way back when? Oh well.

Oh yeah Stu, you know what they say about idiots. They bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. I suggest you stay away from idiots like me.;)
