Agreed. Who wouldn't prefer this? But in this case it would be Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and Batman Begins Again: The Beginning. The last title is a bit awkward imho.Quote:

Actually he does again.Quote:

Apple has been releasing MacBook Pros for about a decade and somehow people have some way of knowing that they are buying a new one and not one from 2006.
Based solely on that criteria? Possibly!Quote:

This is a very interesting conversation.
The OG Xbox isn't on sale anymore so no I don't think that would confuse people. But both 360 and Xbox One are available at places like Best Buy right now, and I do think it's possible for an uninformed consumer (obviously not a TNL member, or even a Gamespot forums poster, but a total noob) to confuse them. For example a parent who is buying the "new Xbox" for her kid, and sees the 360 on the shelf next to the Xbox One (and doesn't bother looking at the back of the box to notice the slight graphical improvements to the games). To me and to most people I think the name 360 sounds newer than One, so it's totally conceivable that she picks up a 360 while meaning to pick up a One instead. Granted either purchase is ending up with more bills in Bill's pockets, but this situation could slightly affect the PS4/Xbox One sales race, which would have an impact on which system developers decide to bring their games to. This is a relatively minor issue having to do with the overall point I'm trying to make which is that the name Xbox One was clearly decided on by a person who is severely handicapped mentally. The name is funny, and it makes me chuckle. That's all.Quote:

Speaking as a retailer who carries everything, I'd much prefer new names for every console.
"do you have a controller for playstation?"
"Do you have an xbox AV?"
I much prefer
"Do you have a Genesis controller?" or "Do you have a Dreamcast AV?"
But who am I kidding, with most people I have to completely disregard what words they use when asking me something, and break it down to concepts like "do you need the one that plugs into the wall, the tv, or the one you control the guy with?"
Shit, I'd fall off my chair if a person who asked if I had playstation games actually wanted games.
"No , man. The game. The game you play the games wit."
Sega's names did rock and they were ahead of their time as a console developer.Quote:

Noobs to games are retards, and this is pretty common knowledge. They don't need to be further confused by dumb names.
