That was true, consumer PCs didn't get better or equal to the N64 until late 1996 when the first voodoo card was released. Although Quake was an impressive game (although depending on what PC you ran it), ironically Quake was released a day after the N64 launched.

In Ireland it was more like this:

Playstation and PS1 after 2000. (same)
NEZ, with the occasional person calling it Nintendo, especially older people.
Megadrive
SNEZ.

In my whole life I never heard anyone spelling it out S-N-E-S until I came online, if you did that people would think you were really weird (they didn't really have the word autistic back then) and you would be socially ostracized.

The reason why I'm bothering to make such a point out of this is because I got triggered by a supposed boomer claiming that only zoomers said things like snez, no fuck you, every single person called it that kys.

As a 37 year old Burger I can confirm this is 100% true. I'm sure somewhere on the planet it was different but who cares? Get relevant.

The PS1 is the one that always confuses me. It was obviously called Playstation until it was followed by PS2. But so many people think it was PSX after that and that makes no sense. If 2 was called 2 you'd call the predecessor 1 by logical default. It's that simple. The NES was different because SNES wasn't a number. So "regular Nintendo" or "original Nintendo" became the norm.

I don't mean this derisively, but maybe people said "Sness" because they played the games more on emulators than on the original hardware. Since "Sness" was always how it would have been listed on rom sites. I don't think I said it when I was a kid but that's definitely now I read it in my head now, and roms/emulators probably had a lot to do with it.

>basic english
What the holy godforsaken fuck are you talking about? No english word that ends in "es" is pronounced like that. To make that sound in english you have to spell it NESS. That's the only way it works. A double NESS, you illiterate American.

The closest thing we have are names like Des and Les. ie. pronounced with a z ending.

There is no "correct" way to pronounce words that aren't already established, but if you're following the normal rules of english it's obviously a "z" sound dipshit and I would never have thought growing up there were people dumb enough to think any different.

Not him but we get or can imagine that it sounds odd to you. To europeans saying NESS sounds very strange and something you would sound odd saying.

Different groups of people develop different ways of saying things (all getting ruined by the internet of course). It's just their way of saying it. Nintendo does have some authority on it since they produced it. That's why they shouldn't have commented, they should have let people call it what they always have.

My school friends and I called it the N64 or Nintendo 64. My mom, of course, just called it a Nintendo like the last two consoles.

I think this might be a regional thing related to how your area refers to Interstates. On the west coast people like to just use the number, i.e. "get on the 10," whereas in my area and I think most of the country you'd say "get on I-10" or just "get on the Interstate," because using the definite article followed by a number sounds weird.

Shitposted a decent SNES thread.
Take two (so fuckling high right now):

When the Master System came out it was the Sega.
When the Genesis came out it was the Genesis.
Then the Master System became the Old Genesis.
Nintendo was Nintendo. Everyone called it that. No reason to shorten
Super Nintendo was always Super Nintendo
(same rationale, and to differentiate it from "regular Nintendo", or simply "Nintendo" at that point).
No one gave a shit about the others. Atari was fucking dead.

The Turbografx and Neo Geo were never spoken aloud because nobody actually ever saw one.

Atari was Atari. There was only one. Nobody ever heard of the later ones.

>>6042478
Sega or Genesis were both used. Sega was fine because there was no other Sega. Master System was a non-entity, and Game Gear was Game Gear. Even after Saturn, it wasn't successful enough to make it confusing if you just said "Sega" referring to Genesis. Saturn was Sega Saturn, Genesis was just Sega.

>>6042517
Parents would frequently call the Sega a Nintendo, and even PlayStations were sometimes referred to as Nintendos by them. Nintendo practically became a generic term for video-game in the '80s, so much so that Nintendo had to put pages telling users "There's no such thing as 'A Nintendo'" in their manuals. Parents who only knew that their kids liked playing Nintendo continued using it as a generic term through much of the '90s, even.

>>6042530
The only part of the rest of the world that matters is Japan, and they speak a different language, so of course they have a different name.

>>6042675
And yet actual games lagged behind, aside from a few exceptions here and there.

They were called "systems," not "consoles." And they weren't called "PC games," they were called "computer games." A computer game is what your grandma would get you for your birthday because she didn't know the difference between the two. If you were lucky, you'd get Commander Keen, and then you could try in vain to pretend it was as good as Mega Man.

>>6044478
The Regular Nintendo continued being the Regular Nintendo even among people who knew the difference between a Nintendo, a Sega, and a PlayStation.

OP is wrong that "console" wasn't used until the late '90s. It wasn't really used until the late 2000s. Computer games never became a significant percentage of the market until after Orange Box taught normalfags that THE CAKE IS A LIE XD and got them to start using Steam so they could socialize with their friends in Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2. The only other computer games that reached a level of popularity even close to a moderately-well known video game before that were few and far between. Not enough to change things. The fact that people liked to play Doom or Rollercoaster Tycoon sometimes wasn't enough to change how they refer to video games.

>>6045893
Europe never had an industry to destroy. You pretend that the ZX Spectrum was actually good, because your country never got a proper Nintendo. Meanwhile, any developers who took themselves seriously switched development to the Nintendo, since it was such a dominating force across the civilized world.

Much of the revisionism regarding the popularity of pre-2007 computer games seems to come from Europoors trying to justify the fact that their countries only got electricity in the mid-'80s, and it took them until the turn of the millennium to even begin to catch up.

>>6046862
>No one gave a shit about TV standards
Exactly. You didn't know any better. You didn't realize your version of Sonic was slow as fuck. Just like you didn't realize how hard you were getting fucked by Nintendo fucking up distribution in your region. But you have no excuse now.

So tell us. What great games did Americans miss out on between 1983/84 and 1985/86? Oh right, none, because what good Famicom games were released in that era came out on Nintendo, and whatever shit was coming out in Europe was garbage anyway.

The Sega was the first Sega. They tried to follow up with the Sega Saturn and later the Dreamcast. Saturn turned out to be a bomb so it didn't need to be talked about, and therefore there was still only one Sega. Dreamcast was Dreamcast, and then it bombed too.

There will always be only one Sega.

>>6046512
"Entertainment System" sounds like a descriptive term. Yes, it's an entertainment system. So is the Sega. So you had the Nintendo and then later the Nintendo and the Sega.

Europe doesn't count either. The reason the SMS was popular there was because Nintendo fucked up distribution in the region, making the Nintendo basically irrelevant there. The reason Nintendo fucked up distribution in the region is because that region never mattered enough for them to care about.

It's the same way people who play computer games complain about the versions of games for computers being shitty compared to the real version, a lot of times being completely different things that are just shovelware comparable to handheld versions. The reason why is because it isn't a large enough market for the developers and publishers to actually care about.

Ignore the article that >>6046498 posted as its clickbait bullshit pertaining only to the Japanese pronunciation of NES. But guess fucking what? The Japs didn’t name the Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo of America did. These are English words chosen by English speaking people and the only way to settle how the acronym is pronounced is to listen to how they say it in official contexts:

>1989 “World of Nintendo” sales pitch video @ 3:33

Note, to any retards who don't understand this. It actually proves OP's point. So many people just called it "a Nintendo" that Nintendo had to try to encourage them to call it a "Nintendo Entertainment System" so as to not risk losing their trademark.

>Thriving MSX, Amstrad, ZX, Amiga, C64, Atari 8-bit, and ST scenes.
A bunch of shit that was all like being a whole generation behind the Famicom. Anyone can just look at the games and see that. MSX comes closer, but go ahead and try to pretend that it was as good. Muh Metal Gear isn't enough to make up for missing out on everything else. Or are you going to try to argue Castlevania on MSX is better than on NES?

>You're stupid like a summer day is long, and your attempts at revisionist history crack me the fuck up. Have a day off, you spastic.
>revisionist history
Watch out for your glass house, there, Mohammmad. You're the one trying to pretend that shit like the ZX Spectrum was actually any good. The reason those other platforms existed in Europe is because the Famicom didn't. Therefore, these things which were so far behind technologically, whose catalogues basically little test projects made by hobbyists, were allowed to survive among the "market" of the few people there who were rich enough and stupid enough to invest in these inferior products for their inferior region. If the Famicom had reasonable distribution there, it would have destroyed it, but Nintendo didn't care enough, because you provided less reward with more risk, so they ignored you, and did things like let Mattel license their product, so they could take the risk, since the reward would be so small either way.

All of those pieces of shit you grew up with were big fish in a small pond.

You're just too stupid to come up with an actual argument. You didn't know any better, so you didn't give a shit. You didn't know what you were missing. Fair enough. You know now. So stop trying to pretend that something that is objectively worse is actually better.

>Massive deflection. Without Nintendo, you would have been sunk. No one else had to rely on them for the rescue.
You never were rescued. You never even swam to the surface. You never had any video games of worth for that entire generation. You were practically a whole generation behind.

>And yet, we never had any problems, and you almost died...
You never lived. You never had an industry. You had a small community of hobbyists putting out what were effectively demos. Things that would never have been even considered to be real games if you were operating with then-current gen hardware. And these only went out to such a small audience that the only companies that paid attention to you were companies that had no chance in any market where a real competitor gave a shit

You're the equivalent of a Brazillian trying to argue that Master System was the best console of the late 1990s. Go ahead and pretend your port of Sonic Blast is better than Crash Bandicoot 2. It provides entertainment that is both funny and sad to outside observers.

It was not the common vernacular, yes. It's an abbreviation with the same number of syllables as the actual word. If a single autist said it aloud in the presence of other humans, because he was one of the few people who was on the internet so often back then that he would speak like on the internet in real life, that still would not make it common.

it was a SUPER NINTENDO, and in the UK , 'snehz' was common. NOBODY CALLED IT AN ESS ENN EE ESS, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS AUTISM IN THE 90s.

And the NES was the 'Nintendo'. Yes. Simply, 'The Nintendo'. 'My Nintendo'. 'Did you see that new game out for the Nintendo?' 'Gee, I sure hope I get a Nintendo for Christmas.' etc.

As the 90s went on and the Super Nintendo came out, it was known as 'The Original Nintendo' or 'the old Nintendo'.

I have added that in the UK the SNES was also called a 'snehz', which it was in the UK. this was not the main gist of my post.

I'm sure the insider tech and marketing guys DID call it an ESS ENN EE ESS, or whatever. Did you know corporate people at Nintendo called the GBA, the AGB? the 'Advance Game Boy'? But we ALL call it a GBA. Literally everybody knows it as a 'Game Boy Advance' , but thats not what the corporate people called it.

They were both called that and the En-Ee-Ess and Super En-Ee-Ess. This is a verifiable fact from not only corporate videos like the ones I posted (and no, there's no evidence that "AGB" was Nintendo's preferred nomenclature for the GBA) but commercials at the time.

You are not quoting correctly. I said older things like Pong consoles straight up didn't count in regards to how people counted generations of video game consoles. I also said nobody said Pong wasn't massive. It was popular, but the leap in technology from standalone Pong consoles to the Atari was huge, and people didn't think of them as being the same type of thing. Both video games of a type, sure, but a single game thing is more like a toy. A thing that you actually can swap games for is very different. Plus of course the games were usually much more advanced.

Again, it's the same as how those Tiger Handheld games were never really considered the same type of thing as a Game Boy.

You're also overstating how big the Odyssey actually was. Influential, obviously, but didn't have the same type of popularity and cultural penetration as the Atari.

All your doing is repeating your same zoomer opinions and pretending they mean anything. Pong was yugely popular at the time. Ask your grandfather or whoever you know who was around back then.
Pong had multiple "games" and so did the Odyssey. The Odyssey even had fake "carts" for aspies who feel changing a cart to play a different game is the defining aspect of a toy.
According to your zoomerlogic the 2600 doesn't cound because it didn't have the same type of popularity and cultural penetration as Angry Birds or whatever. Fortunately the only thing here that "doesn't count" is your opinion.
