Default Revolution is the console name.

Did we miss this article?

Quote:
In a press conference in Tokyo recently, Nintendo head Satoru Iwata confirmed that the next console will be titled 'Revolution', and, like the DS handheld device, promises to innovate in the field of entertainment. The 'new ideas' hinted at are not mentioned - Iwata fearing other manufacturers may steal their plans, however he did also reveal that the Revolution console will be far more than upgraded GameCube.

They've got something wrong in their sources... probably mistranslated. Other sites would mention the name being confirmed. It's interesting though.

Rumor? The press conference in Tokyo 24th of February happened. And how to you explain numerous other sites saying that the name was confirmed to be Revolution.

Considering the name to be Revolution, the input devices having gyroscopes and other methodic peripherals pertaining to a revolution. The design of the console (the concept) also had the console being ROUND and referring to Revolution.

I think it's named Revolution.... oh well, we'll see at E3.

I hope it doesn't end up being Revolution. If it is I want it to be red with a star as the logo. Change the name and use revolution slogans in commercials and such. Or they could pull a DS and change the name and then change it back to the developing name... But there's nothing official as to what the final name really is.

If Revolution is N5's final name, the next Gameboy should be the Gameboy Renaissance.

Consistency here.

Or it could be Gameboy Evolution, as it is often suggested.

Revolution is a bad name. We cant shorten it very well like past consoles. NES, SNES, N64, 'Cube. Rev? NinRev? It doesnt keep consistent with past titles

I think just calling it Rev will work. Picture it...

"Want to go Rev with me?"
