Good point. Supposedly the 3DS suffered a bit due to name confusion. (so they repeated it with the WiiU and New3DS)

I would not be surprised if it’s called the NX – the Nintendo NX for example. It’s neither a Wii nor a 3DS but distinct from and combining elements of both. Mostly though it just works, is distinctive and easy to make into a logo/trademark to decorate the back of the thing.

Maybe they'll call it the Nintendo Revolution.

I've been saying Nintendo should go with megaton for years.
Glad someone else thinks so too :)

I can dig a single system - makes sense company wise, graphics have been good enough for me for awhile, and I can see development unity might give more games.
However....I fear ergonomics a lot. Seems the controller will suffer a lot to keep it portable. :-/

Never mind that, the really big news is the Red Dead Redemption 2 announcement taoday. :)

Seriously though I'm looking forward to the NX reveal. I use my Vita daily and with Sony looking unlikely to make another, the NX will become my default handheld of choice.
