This is a headgum podcast.

0:09.4

All right, Sony, we are at a pivotal part of our history.

0:13.4

We are about to launch our first ever video game system.

0:18.1

And I brought you all into this meeting because, well, it needs a name.

0:22.6

And so I want you to think about the names out there of existing systems, the Nintendo

0:27.5

Entertainment System, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, the Mega Drive or the Genesis.

0:33.8

Like, I'm looking for names that have some heft, some import.

0:38.6

Let's start throwing around the room.

0:40.3

Just to get this one out there, I'm thinking about Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

0:46.2

Yeah.

0:46.8

Sony Entertainment System.

0:48.8

You know, we are the newly created Sony Computer Entertainment America as opposed to the SCG, the SEJ, rather the Japanese division. So I think that that actually fits pretty well, the Sony entertainment system. I'm sorry, I'm going to say no. That's fair. I'm just going to say no. I knew it wasn't going to be the one.

So that's another no from me. Well, how about we just take the Walkman branding and we do one better than the Game Boy?

1:45.1

We got the Game Man.

1:46.7

Are you a Game Boy?

1:47.8

You're a game man.

1:48.7

Yeah.

1:49.2

Step up to the plate.

1:50.7

Or show your fucking hog.

1:53.9

Yeah, is that fucker cut or what?

1:57.0

Okay.

1:57.5

Well, I will say this is the first one I'm putting on the board. but I'm worried that, you know, we've got internal division separation here at Sony, so I don't know if Walkman is going to allow us to potentially risk the tarnishing of their brand.

2:12.7

I got it.
