I see what you mean about the cheap look (the childish UI and glossy finish don't help), but from all hands-on reports, the device is sexy as hell. What those pictures don't show is how thin it is. Yum.JackFrost said:

No way in hell will they ever drop the Playstation branding. Brand loyalty is what got them through the first few years of PS3 hell.

If anything, they need to do it. "PlayStation" isn't a strong brand these days. You have piracy and PSN failure attached to the name. Not to mention, their systems haven't been exactly on top.Takao said:

The success of Gameboy -> DS shows us that brand name isn't really important. If it was, then the Playstation 3 would have won this generation as per its predecessor.

of course it is important! especially early! but i know you can debate the degree of importance. there are many variables here. it's not going to guarantee success (so i wouldn't just cast it out in explaining the ps3's decline vs. ps2), of course.
is the brand "gameboy" or "nintendo"?

That makes sense. PSV (But then it can be confused for being PlayStation 5, which is still a long way off). But whats with Pachter and all of you calling this name dumb. the Wii was the most uncreative name for a system, yet people warmed up to it. Within months this will all blow past.

I was offering "Gameboy" as the brand name, as it was consistently part of Nintendo's handheld product naming throughout the pre-DS era. "Gameboy Advance", "Gameboy Advance SP", etc, didn't seem to be preceeded with the word "Nintendo" in verbal and written description.
The point I was trying to make is that Nintendo chose to abadon this succesful, established and well-known brand name to emphasise the "new" of the DS and it was a wild success. I think it evidences that the importance of brand name is often exaggerated.

I'm pretty indifferent over Vita. Not terrible, but not exactly a good fit, either.

Sony Vita is the worst especially considering its supposed to tie into the Playstation Network, Playstation Store, etc.
I think the idea to simply name it the Sony Vita is great. I think it sounds way less awkward than Playstation Vita.
This is a bit OT but what is going with posts saying "this is the worse post I've seen" or "this is the most ridiculous stuff I've ever read". It seems you get that kind of post in many threads now. Is this a new meme or is GAF is in full exaggeration mode because E3 is coming up?

Vita's alright, whether just Sony Vita or Sony Playstation Vita. Not the most immediately catchy name but nothing out of the ordinary for gaming consoles, or electronic products in general. People blowing things way out of proportion.
After the Wii became 'normal' and unremarkable it'd take a lot for a console name to be irredeemable.

Sony Phoenix!
Or Pnix, though I think Fox will make an issue out of that.

Well didn't we hear there motion controller was called Gem or Arc up until they finally called it the Playstation Move at GDC?
even 3rd parties where calling the controller the Gem in interviewers and stuff.
Just because the name is out there doesn't mean its THE name.

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.

Seems a little late for that. Sony already gave the system its codename: NGP.
