You know something that bugs me about the modern console market?
Back in the day, #Sega had fun names for their consoles. Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast.
When Sony and Microsoft entered, "PlayStation" and "Xbox". Both fun, "gamey" names.
Now, it's just Playstation [number] and Xbox Series [letter]. Even modern handhelds have boring names like "ROG Ally", "Legion Go", etc. No creativity or fun.
Only Nintendo still seems to care about having FUN names for their consoles: GameCube, Wii, Switch.
