"Switch" can also mean (archaically) a small branch used to spank naughty kids with, so the name has kind of a nice masochistic bent to it from my perspective.

Xbox is named that way because the first one use direct x thus the name "DIRECT X box" shortened to Xboxit makes sense. like how the hell does x box mean anything lol

Wii sounds worse.......or like a shortened form of the Nintendo Bait-and-Switch. It's just a tablet with some doodads that stick on the sides. I mean there is nothing REALLY new, not even a gimmick like a headache-inducing autostereoscopic 3D display. Or shitty stylus-centric gameplay. Maybe they'll have voice control: "Siri, move Link 3 paces to the left."
Let's see how many times they can rebadge and repackage the same dumb games from the late 90s over and over on this console.

When you consider that it can be shortened to "XBone," it's a pretty terrible name overall. The only thing that surprises me is that Nintendo didn't name one of their consoles Switch earlier, considering it comes from their most well-known franchise, Mario. It does make the most sense when you can actually "switch" from one gaming mode to another with this console, though.Yes, because Xbox One and PS Vita is such a better name, right?
