This might seem like a trivial observation, but Sega had the absolute best names for their systems. Each name they created had rhyming (Sega Mega Drive, Sega Mega-CD), consonance (Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, Sega Game Gear), or was just plain cool-sounding (Sega Dreamcast, Sega Nomad). About the only poorly named major console they made was the 32X. Compare that to Nintendo, whose console names have been disgustingly drab ((Super) Nintendo Entertainment System, (Super) Family Computer, Nintendo 64, Nintendo DS/3DS) or stupid-sounding (Wii/WiiU), with the Gamecube and the Game Boy/Color/Advance being the lone exceptions, or Sony, who came up with a fine name in the Playstation (note the assonance), but lazily reused it for their next three consoles, or Microsoft, who came up with a stupid, meaningless name in the Xbox (I know it's because of DirectX, but that hardly means anything to the end user) AND added an even more meaningless "360" tag for their second console.
