Punnability is an important aspect of marketing for every console manufacturer. The better the punnability of your slogan, the better your product will sell. Here are a few examples:

Nintendo:

Bill: "Hey Bob, you played an Action Adventure game yesterday. Will you play it again today?"

Bob: "No Bill, I like to...SWITCH it up".

Xbox:

Billy: "Hey Bobby, what did the old lady say before she joined her friends at the swimming pool?"

Bobby: "I know this one! She said 'Gee, I want to...JUMP IN'"

Sony:

Billy bob joe: "Hey Dillon, what was the first words Genghis Khan said when he was a baby?"

Dillon: "I don't know, Billy bob joe. What?"

Billy bob joe: "GREATNESS AWAITS".

Discuss.

@Archangel3371: That's a good try Archangel, but this time try to include one of the game console slogans. *groan* isn't one of them.

You can do it! :)

Switch, PS4 and Xbone go to a bar.

'I'll have martini on the rocks,' says PS4.

'I'll have the same, only water it down a bit,' says Xbone.

'I'm underage and cannot have any of that adult stuff,' says Switch. 'So I'll just sit here under the table and wait for you two to throw me a bone!'

I really don't think it gets any punnier than Nintendo's system names. Hell, 3DS is a play on DS. Wii's successor is called the Wii-U: " We, You.".

Xbone..that name will live in infamy and clearly shows MS lack of direction and more importantly commitment to games.

I always liked the "Just wait" line for Playstation.

Me: Where are the Playstation games?

Sony fans: Just wait

SUPER nintendo entertainment system. Hell yeah, always liked that naming!

Every game was called SUPER as well.

Same with Nintendo 64: You got your mario 64, donkey kong 64, wave race 64, mario kart 64

Very funny :P.

Now that you two point it out though, Nintendo has some clever and unique naming schemes for their consoles. Seems obvious now that I look at it, but I guess I always just expected Nintendo to come up with something unconventional.
