How does "P -infinity- S" become PooS or Poo?

Anyway, I want to see the logo. Not sure how you're supposed to pronounce the controllers name.

 

[jko]

P oo S

:lol :lol :lol

 

[AdmiralViscen]

hahahahaha poopies

 

[SolidSnakex]

Unbelievable. Sony are getting very desperate.

Yes, because registering a trademark is a very desperate thing to do.

If it's a typed mark, I'm not sure if it necessarily represents the placement of the letters. One assumes there is a drawing somewhere (though not necessarily on the patent site).

 

[flipping_heck]

Sounds ridiculous but i want to see the logo first.. it better be classy

Nintendo copped it with the Wii jokes, it's now Sony's turn for the PooS jokes!

And I am clearly not going to say "P infinity S" controller.. why didn't Sony just do "PS3 controller"?

 

[Wollan]

It should have been 'PS oo', PlayStation Forever.
Maybe the oo mark is below the PS making this thread obsolote(or this trademark not being used at all).

 

[Y2Kev]

Like...limit of PS as FUN SHADING approaches infinite?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

We had a huge Wii joke thread - but I guess you sony fans have no sense of humor

 

[SolidSnakex]

Where does it say that this is the name of the controller?

 

[Adam Blade]

I said wow. :lol :lol :lol

 

[Virgin Wii]

Yes, because registering a trademark is a very desperate thing to do.

Damnit, I came in here looking for your response to the article. Then I saw Aurora's post, and I thought, "****, SSx is going to respond to that and not say anything about the actual news."

Well, whaddya know!

 

[neptunes]

"Pee-ooo-s"
"Pooo-eees"
"Poo-esss"
"Pee-sooo"

 

[speedpop]

Where does it say that this is the name of the controller?

It doesn't, I am running off the usual GAF hyperbole and Sony damage control!

You know, the Wii name is a fact. It's the actual name.
You have no idea if this will ever become 'poos'.

What's there to respond to? Sony registered a trademark and there's no telling what its for. Or would you like an overreaction?

 

[meltpotato]

Dual Waggle would have been better than poos. :lol

and i dont see how oo = infinity when characters such as infinity, mu, alpha, delta, etc are pretty common and recognized. why would they put oo in the patent and not the actual character?

 

[charlequin]

The final PS3 controller won't say "SERECT" on it, but it was pretty enjoyable to make fun of that too.

 

[Y2Kev]

I'm pretty sure I was called immature by a certain group of people for laughing at "wii" just a few weeks ago... but P infinity S, well, that's hysterical. Desperate Sony.

Why don't they go copy someone else?

 

[WHOAguitarninja]

You see what they're dong? They instilling in the customers mind just HOW much their system is worth. The price of admission to even play with this PooS is $600! This must be a really incredible system!

 

[Tyrone Slothrop]

and everybody thought Wii was bad

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Deku]

I actually kind of like the name. it probably will lend well to a nifty logo with a P and S and a dualshock controller /infinity symbol in between.

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Wii...poos...

It's almost too perfect. :lol

 

[drohne]

poos :lol

all waggly controllers should be named after bodily excretions!

 

[Treo360]

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Nintendo Wii Wii
Pee S Pee
Sony PooStation

Sony is now leading 2-1. At least they have poo and pee to speak of though.

 

[Crisis]

Breaking News: Breaking with earlier precedent, Microsoft's Peter Moore says that instead of Xbox 360 being likened to a "lucid dream", it's really more like a "nocturnal emission".

 

[shuri]

Potential for Growth!

 

[Fallofmart]

Man... the game industry has really gone down the toilet...

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

What a stupid thread...

Neither its PooS nor its the new controller name. Just a new trademark for 'PS Infinity'.


I better not say Namco registered Tales of Quiz too...whoops.

 

[jenov4]

wtf this is real? omg, and i thought wii was bad.

 

[Aryuken]

Well...they had to call it something that brought it a little bit closer to the Wii.

With these names...they are just a couple of inches apart.

 

[Zapages]

I say we call it "Pis" like Piss...

 

[Jive Turkey]

:lol They even ripoff Nintendo's infatuation with bodily excretions!

:lol :lol :lol
OMGZ SONY copies Nintendo's innuendos!

:lol My thoughts exactly. WTF Sony?

 

[Arsenal]

Man... the game industry has really gone down the toilet...

Along with this board!

It's extremely likely that they did put the actual character ∞ in, and the "oo" is just the German site's lazy typography being spun into internet drama.

 

[TRU]

Alright, here the running tally for Sony:

So here's this giant crab
Attack the weak point for massive damage
RIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEE RRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAACCCCEEEEEEEEERRRRRR
$599 US Dollars
POOS LOLZ.

No, real time weapon changing?

 

[WalkMan]

It's extremely likely that they did put the actual character ∞ in, and the "oo" is just the German site's lazy typography being spun into internet drama.

Or a safety precaution so people can't make an imitation?

 

[ahmad]

next gen stinks

.

 

[P90]

The 360 sounds like a better name, the further the next gen develops

 

[Gantz]

Imagine playing with that shit :lol

 

[Lord Helmet]

What a stupid thread...

Somebody poo in your cereal? Let us have our fun. :lol

 

[My Arms Your Hearse]

GAF officially hopeless?

 

[Tom the Enchanter]

No, they're just incredibly out of touch

It's not out of touch; they're ripping off Nintendo's inability to give anything a remotely appealing name.

[Dante]

Wow, I thought I was at gamefaqs for a minute there. The registration of PS Infinity makes sense don't they already have like PS1-10 registered?

 

[Jacobi]

HI I WANT ONE NINTENDOODS AND POOS
