Dreamcast or Playstation evoke playing games the best for me.

Gabecube I'd also accept

 

[Geometric-Crusher]

Sega Saturn

I think that was the most mentioned name.

 

[DeaconOfTheDank]

Sega always bringing the heat with their console names - Dreamcast being their magnum opus. I can still hear the startup sound...

Even the unreleased Sega Neptune has more spunk than any of the current day platforms.

 

[Team Skoda]

That sound just smoothly raises your goosebumps too. Will hear it rent free in my head and heart forever.

 

[falconhoof]

Did anyone vote for Xbox One X Series X One or whatever it's called?

 

[Hoddi]

Genesis was a good name but Megadrive takes the cake. It would never work today but it's badass in an old school juvenile type of way.

Like ninjas.

 

[kevboard]

Dreamcast

followed by Xbox

 

[hououinkyouma00]

PlayStation is a genius name.

That being said, I think my favourite is still the Saturn.

Agreed. I think Sony nailed it with the naming of their console.
My pick for the coolest is the Dreamcast though.

Best: PlayStation
Coolest: Dreamcast

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

PC Engine Super Grafx.

The NA name and ad campaign was great but it didn't do well.

Name was awesome

 

[DryvBy]

Dreamcast. Easy win. It's a terrific name for the games you got.

I also like the GameCube and the entire design

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Both the name and logo.

What did they do with the US version though

Made it far better

 

[Black_Stride]

Sega wins this easy work.

• Sega Master System
• Sega Mega Drive
• Sega Game Gear
• Sega 32X - Yes im counting it, fight me!!!
• Sega Saturn - I was a space nerd, Saturn was a cool name.
• Sega Titan
• Sega NAOMI
• Sega DreamCast
• Sega Reactor
• Sega RingEdge

Absolutely disgusting font.

Most of the stuff US changed they did for the worse. Look what they did to the poor SNES. Look at those abhorrent pink Game Gear boxes.

Really bad aesthetics in US back then.

 

[dgproject]

PS Vita.

Vita is life.

 

[Grenseal]

Is there no love for the Nontendo Polystation 2?

No it isn't nor is it's superior name.
SNES is a different story...

 

[Laptop1991]

Dreamcast vote here as well, it was a cool name.

 

[ByWatterson]

Gameboy goes hard, tbh

 

[Fess]

GabeCube

 

[NeverYouMind]

Atari Jaguar.

 

[ReasonBeing]

SEGA nailed it on both names of their single product, Mega Drive and Genesis.

 

[Avid Reading Horse]

Saturn was a good name. Genesis and Mega Drive are both solid.

Dreamcast? Sounds like a nefarious invention from this dork:

Also evokes:

What I'm getting at here is Dreamcast is kind of lame.

 

[BlackTron]

I never owned one, but judging by the replies, my vote would go to "Sega Genesis." It trips off the tongue, just sounds good.

Both the name and logo.

What did they do with the US version though

Genesis is fine, but Mega Drive is way better and speaking personally, as a kid I and everyone around me just called it the Sega while hardly registering the name lol.

I think Mega Drive would have stuck better.

According to "viveks86" in the 'Tom Warren gets upset at Geoff Keighley' thread, the ultimate console name will be determined with the next MS System:

Xbox Transole

----------------------------------------

 

[sympathytaste]

Dreamcast and the GameCube are the go-to examples for me.

C'mon man, that's what the system identifies as, not its name!

 

[Calverz]

 

[Banjo64]

I'm a fan of abbreviated names so N64 and PS2 stand out to me.

 

[PropellerEar]

PS Triple

 

[existensmaximum]

Sega Mega Drive / Genesis

Easily

 

[cireza]

Mega Drive was the best name.

 

[wondermega]

/thread

 

[Lokaum D+]

now i ll have to watch this movie again, thanks

about the thread Sega Saturn is the best console name

 

[Denton]

Atari Jaguar is the coolest.

Play Station is the lamest, that is, second lamest, after Nintendo Wii.

 

[xanaum]

 

[Denton]

For handhelds, Atari Lynx was coolest.

Game Boy is lamest.

 

[Hudo]

Sega Dreamcast

This. I think we're done here.

 

[skyfinch]

Xbox Series S

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Atari Jaguar is the coolest.

Play Station is the lamest, that is, second lamest, after Nintendo Wii.

It's PlayStation
