Folks, I just wanted to pop in and say that the response to this has amazed me. Despite the vitriol, I'm loving the discussion over which way people have come to pronounce NES. I just want to remind everyone that if you want to be a part of the study I'm doing, I need you to respond to the Google Form. It's already up to around 150 responses from around the world! Amazing!
It's only two questions, takes about 10 seconds if you don't go long winded about it (though some of the longer winded responses have been great as well), and it'll add more linguistic data for defining the boundaries of NES production.
Thanks so much. ^_^
Hey kids, it's an acronym. N-E-S is the only way to fly.
En-Ee-Es/N-E-S
It always bothered me to hear people pronounce acronyms, for example GUI (graphical user interface) as "gooey"
N.E.S.
It's an acronym.
So you guys pronounce scuba as S-C-U-B-A and Aids as A-I-D-S too then right?N-E-S
The same way i Say F -B- I, not fbee/fbye for FBI
Sega = See-Gah
AusGaf here
Say U-S-A.So you guys pronounce scuba as S-C-U-B-A and Aids as A-I-D-S too then right?
How's that even possible when virtually every 16bit Sega game had the SEGA sound bit, right when you started the game?

But we'd just call it Nintendo (and Super Nintendo the SNES) when we were kids.
edit: Greece
How it's meant to be pronouncedNess
Also
Mario = Marry-o
stick yer MARRR-Rio up yer bollox
EDIT: I don't understand how people get Sega's pronunciation incorrect. It was spoken/sung at the beginning of all of their games. Seh-ga!
Brazilian here and I say neither one...
I call it "nintendinho", it means Little Nintendo
From USA. I say N-E-S.
