Anyone else here find the names are getting slightly out of hand?

there's nothing wrong with them, different names thats all

Playstation
Playstation 2 <--- Such Originality [Sarcasm]
Playstation 3 <--- Such Originality [Sarcasm]

Gameboy - Wow thats so silly...
GameBoy Pocket - Perhaps it could fit in your pocket? It was much smaller than the original Gameboy
Gameboy Colur - Now don't get me wrong... but perhaps this is the first gameboy to have colour?
Gameboy advance - The first next generation of gameboys and they were more ADVANCED
Gameboy SP - No-one cares
Gameboy DS (Duel screen) - Maybe it has 2 Screens? Duh!

They arn't silly at all.

play station makes strange names to psp,playstation 1 or 2,and x box i neva figured out wwut dat stand for like xciteind box i think XD

It seems some of you have missed the point.

What i was getting at was thatm how many s's does Nintendo need?
It seems as though they're coming up with random s names then adding a word, like wth did SP stand for:S

Btw, TooClose BS PS CS were made up by me :D
