Whether it’s a console, laptop, monitor, console, GPU, or CPU – we discuss the worst branding in gaming history.

I think Sony needs to call the handheld the PS6P. It ties it to the PS6 family and let's parents or grandparents buying a console for a birthday know which one to buy. If they are both the PS6, grandparents especially will buy the wrong one and ruin little Timmy's birthday

That then allows a PS7 handheld to be called a PS7P. Easy naming likely plays a huge role in its success. I also think if Sony does another PSVR, that they need to call it the PS6VR, and it needs to have the same specs of the handheld and play all handheld games as well as all PSVR2 games and any new PS6VR. This way it's basically a handheld attached to your face, and it needs to be no more than $50 more than the handheld price
