“Dreamcast” is probably the single best gaming console name of all time, too.
Retro Sega systems stand out with their cool, mystical/sci-fi sounding names: Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast.
They were unique and felt like they were telling customers that we’d be in awe when using their consoles.
(Master System and Sega CD were pretty boring though)
Most other big systems’ names seem so utilitarian and uninspired:
GameCube and Xbox are little boxy devices on your shelf that play games.
The Nintendo Switch can switch between handheld and docked.
All the PlayStations are stations that you play games on.
Yawn
