    Poll What will you call the Xbox One? (268 votes)

    Xbox One 12%
    Xone 5%
    Xbone 30%
    One 1%
    X1 7%
    The One 2%
    Xbox 31%
    The New Xbox 7%
    XBO 5%

    Just curious how everyone is referring to, or plans to refer to the The Xbox One. Seems to be a lot of them out there, and not everyone is referring to it by the same name.

    Also bonus question, with in six months after launch, do you think there will be a stand out winner, a name everyone uses to refer to it?

    Xflop, the classic Nintendo/PC/PS3 fanboy name for the console.

    I voted for The One just because of how hilariously stupid of a nickname that is.

    But in honesty, I'll call it the Xbox.

    No option for "Eggs Box" so I'm going with "Xbox." I'll probably call it "the new Xbox" for a while before the 360 is out of the picture.

    As for dumb flashy nicknames, I think "Xone" (pronounced "Zone") is far superior to "Xbone."

    Xbox One for some time (at least, a year or two), then just "the Xbox", once the 360 has clearly stepped two a secondary position in Microsoft's grand scheme.

    I like 'X1' for some reason.

    But on an unrelated note, did Microsoft not really think this name would confuse people?

    Xbone, definitely! I don't see it as a disparaging name, just a really smart way of fiddling with acronyms. Also, shrinking down three letters into two syllables? Nice.

    Any reasonable person will call it the XBO. It keeps the the 3 character convention and sounds good.

    People that say Xbone, which obviously is being pronounced in the oh-so-clever X-bone way, are pretty dumb.

    Yes, if you say Xbone, you are dumb.

    Eczema Box. If you touch that accursed thing or any of its minion controllers a scabrous befoulment will fall upon you. Some will know its origins but most will blame it on your chronic worshipping of Onan.

    I agree with this. I got used to "360" so "XBO" is an easy evolution.

    Probably just Xbox. I'm sure as hell won't call it "The One".

    If X.B.O gets said enough times, I might just adapt. I'll either say xbox or the new xbox till then.
