I personally think that the Xbox brand generally carries more originality. Anybody can simply add numbers and call a network "Network" with the brand title in front. The Xbox brand on the other hand, uses one simple, descriptive word.

I have to prefer Sony's simplicity to the others' creativity. It may be boring to say "Yo, the PS4 looks like awesome!" but at least we're not getting confused with Xbox (the first/original) vs Xbox One and the Wii vs the Wii U. Honestly for a very short time after it was revealed, I thought the Wii U was just the tablet that connected to the Wii, and I already have gotten comments among my nongamer friends and acquaintances "isn't there already an Xbox 1?" I'll vote Nintendo because it is technically the most creative and original (it wins by default, not being number based like the others) but again, Sony's labeling/marketing is superior on this front.

I think Xbox has been the best so far. I dislike the straight numbering of systems because it's going to sound tired down the line. By the time you get to Playstation 10 or something, it just feels like it's screaming "rehash" even if it's far from it. And that goes for numbering any kind of sequel or successor, I just feel like after 3 you should stop numbering. Nintendo names are creative usually, but I have to knock them for the confusion they've created with Wii U.

I suppose Nintendo have quite a variety of creative system titles.

Playstation. You know what each console is. It's simple. Keeps the focus on the games. Less of this "Galaxy S 4 LTE" horseshit.
