thinking about how different cultures shorten popular names

jpn:
"family computer" -> "famicom"
"magnetic video camera" -> "mavica"

gb:
"resident evil" -> "resi"
"sensible soccer" -> "sensi"

actually did you know famicon was sharp's family convection oven first and the family computer was never called famicom for legal reasons until sharp and nintendo came to an agreement and that's how you have the sharp twin famicom and why nintendo got to call the sequel super famicom
