I'm German and Switch sounds like a cool name to me as it's

>>31966439
I'm a native English speaker and it doesn't bother me at all. The English language is full of homophones a

Naming tech products after a random word is a common enough thing that everyone's used to it.

Now the Wii. That was silly sounding.

It's actually a pretty good name. And compared to Wii U or New 3DS it's genius.

First, shouldn't this be on /v/? There aren't any Pokemon games on the Switch yet.

Second, the Switch as a name has meaning. It's because of how the console can "switch" between different configurations.

I'm just familiar with /vp/ so I posted it here.

Thanks for your insights. Any further?

Not him, but 'switch' can have several meanings.

You can switch it on.

You can switch from handheld to console mode.

You can also switch from Xbox/Playstation to Nintendo.

well it also sounds cooler in Japanese, where it was made, than English
NEW Nintendo 3ds also sounds less retarded in Japanese

The called it like that cause they know that you will switch back to PS4
