    Personally, I think the symbolism is good, but, as Ryan said, every time I hear "Xbox One" I think the very first Xbox =|

    I don't know why Patrick and the dudes seemed to be confused on the name. It's obviously meant to show, "Hey, we're the center of your 'intelligent living room."

    It's just a name, so neutral.
    Though I will say it's waaay better than Xbox 720, Xbox Next, The Xbox, Durango and Xbox Infinity.

    I am a person that gets excited for things really easily, hell, I even own a white Wii U. There was nothing in that entire presentation that got me excited whatsoever. I'm sure they will show some great games at E3, but for now Xbox One is something I am probably going to pass on.

    It's quite literally the worst name they could have chosen. Any other name, for how dumb it was, would at least let me know which xbox I was buying.

    Not surprised by gamers reactions to it. They always overreact and don't realize that this wasn't supposed to be the same kind of conference that Sony did. I'm excited about a new IP from Remedy over another Killzone or Infamous game. Overall I thought it was a decent conference. I'm waiting for E3 for the big game conference that gamers wanted.

    It's interesting how they went a whole other direction with their naming strategy from last gen, calling it 360 because of the name of PS3. I like it.

    It's pretty dumb. I think suffers a similar problem as the WiiU where it will create some market confusion about the name.

    But whatever, there's bigger issues with that console than the name.

    I quite like it, better than infinity which is a bit of a mouthful to say. I think it's simply a case of differentiating the product from the 360, most of us will just refer to it as Xbox.

    People...he asked what you thought about the name of the Xbox One, not your opinion on the Xbox One. Jesus.

    I think it's weird, but at the same time, I like it.

    It feels like a name for an electronic device. Unexciting, but I don't hate it.

    We're far enough out from the original Xbox that there isn't much risk of confusion, in my opinion.

    That'd be a neat name if it wasn't the third one. On it's own it doesn't sound stupid at least. Pretty standard kind of name for hardware like this.

    Pretty much neutral, don't mind it, definitely don't hate it. Way better than Now! or Infinity. I actually still think 720 would have been ok, and 1080 after that. Or rather 1440, which would actually be super dumb.

    Remember when they had the Xbox 360 go against the PS3 because 360>3? How are you going to put Xbox one up against PS4...doesn't Microsoft know that 1<4? Joking aside, I think they called it that because....xbox will be number one in our hearts and minds? I don't know, it is a pretty dumb name.

    I'm kind of neutral on it. I see myself potentially getting confused in the future between it and the original xbox, but could be worse I guess.

    I kinda like it. "X1" sounds mega, like a prototype starfighter or something.

    Old skool Xbox will be referred to as 'The First XBox', or 'The Gladius Console' because that's the only thing worth playing on it.

    If the name "Wii U" creates market confusion then i can't imagine how confused people will be with "Xbox One". I fully understand their reasoning behind it and i love microsoft but what kind of product digresses in numbers like that instead of just dropping it altogether?

    I'm not normally one to troll, but that is a really stupid name and will just further confuse things down the line. I guess the idea is to leave room for iteration. Xbox 1S, Xbox 2, ala the iPhone, but imo this is a near WiiU level blunder.

    When I hear 'One' in regards to a console, my mind heads immediately to Sony and the PSOne.

    Creating a connection with your biggest rival seems an odd choice.

    Yeah but the problem with that is we still did not get too much detail on the hardware or all these features. If your going to focus on this stuff over games then why did we not get into the core functions of these things. No always online debunk (which happened afterward), no on backward capabilities (happened afterward), used games fee and mandatory install (happened afterward), if you see where i'm going. I feel we did not get any in depth detail on any of these features.

    So if you leave out games in your presentation you better have some great details or of course gamers will be disappointed, how can they not. I just think they could have teased some games at least to get people excited.
