at least in the states, the NES was colloquially called a "nintendo" for its whole lifespan, and even well into the SNESs lifespan which was vocalized as the "super nintendo". everyone who grew up playing it, either as 80s kids, or as 90s kids who got it second-hand from their older bro, called it that.
speaking in fucking acronyms is a gay modern phenomenon that likely stems from retards who grew up with their main source of socialization being online.
i still dont say "en-ee-es" or god forbid, "ness" out loud either, because its literally not what it was called for most of my early life. its like when they tried to change BC and AD to BCE and CE when i was halfway through highschool history class. its like, "ok you can do that i guess, but im absolutely never gonna call it that or even write historical dates down like that". not even a christcuck either, im just not gonna change all of history because some retard apparently got triggered by the meaning of "anno domini".
if i had to point to the thing, in vidya, that made saying acronyms out loud into a thing, it would be the PS2. PS1 was similarly vocalized as the "playstation" for its lifespan. while PS2 was the first major console where i remember it commonly being referred to by its acronym, rather than saying "playstation 2" out loud. this retroactively made calling NES and SNES and PS1 by their acronyms into a thing. and PS2 era is moving into the era where a lot more ppl got high-speed internet connection, so it spread from there via the internet, and internet discussion about vidya.
