Poll: The new name of the Xbox One. The One80?

[Z of the Na'vi]

...all this picking on Microsoft really is getting rather petty.

I type "Xbone" because it makes sense in shorthand. I will continue to do so.

 

[Yopaz]

I think they should call it Xbox U.

How about SuperBox? Microsoft Entertainment System or MES?

Honestly though I'll just keep calling it Xbox One.

 

[DudeistBelieve]

Xbone. Not because I don't like it (I always said I was going to get one, even before the announcement today), but because it's quicker to type and sounds silly.

This.

Xbox One is to wordy to say in conversation.

 

[Yopaz]

We will call her ... TigerFestival!

Please someone get that reference .

OT: still calling it the xbone . Nothing anyone does can change that.

I love that reference! Cracks me up every time, especially that part when it's actually being used as a fake name.

Edit: Yay, it didn't turn out as a double post after all.

 

[Anthony Corrigan]

Spybox, because they still haven't removed there spy hardware from being required for the console to work

 

[Nazulu]

I originally called it the Xhole (as in asshole, digging themselves a hole) when I first heard all the shit they were going to do, and I will stick with that till they get rid of the Kinnect.

 

[Mick Beard]

i shall call it "xbox" the same as i called the original X Box and also the X box 360.

its XBox and thats all i will call its because i am not a pretentious wanker

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I shall continue to call it the Xbox Done or alternatively the Xbox None.

 

[Nir Shalev]

I'd love to vote in the above poll but my name for the console isn't up there! I've been calling it XBONED since last month!

 

[Anthony Corrigan]

I'd love to vote in the above poll but my name for he console isn't up there! I've been calling it XBONED since last month!

yea there is no "Spybox" either

 

[tilmoph]

Xbone I will use to refer to pre reversal XBox One, XB1 is my preference when trying to be fair, since X1 looks weird and XBox One80 is humorous but annoying to type, and will lose meaning way too quickly.

 

[Rickin10]

It's new name is the XBox One Hour.

 

[tahrey]

I think... the 1080 ... as that's 3x360.

Srsly I should become a marketeer. Except then I'd have to take Bill Hicks' advice and kill myself.

Note: Pronounced One-Oh-Eighty. The same way as the Peugeot 1007 (one-oh-oh-seven; not one-double-oh-seven or one-thousand-and-seven ... branding extends to the way numbers are even said, these days). Because that makes everything work through the power of bodging and compromise. Also the old timers of us can pretend it's a doomed Atari product and feel no remorse as it falls into the toilet of commercial failure.

Or or or ... 1086. One-oh-eighty-six. 3x(360+2).

Let's see...
486
586 ... pentium
686 ... pentium pro / P-II
786 ... P-III
886 ... P4
986 ... Core series
1086 ... "i" series, which its processor is presumably part of.

Plus the 186 processor line bombed pretty heavily, having little in the way of added features people actually wanted or anything that really made it much better than the 8086 other than through the lab boffins' eyes.

I AM A CHENIOUS


Edit: Wait, they're using AMD processors? This ruins everything. That, and the PS4 one being called Jaguar, which I hadn't considered until I got that reminder.

486
5x86
686 ... K6, K6/2 and /3
786 ... Athlon (aka K7)
886, 986 ... Athlon XP and the like. I dunno. I stopped paying attention to AMD processors when they went from "offers massive bang for buck advantage" to "will turn your PC case into a blackbody object with emissions in the visible spectrum yet still struggle to match intel performance".
1086 ... er, this thing. Yeah. And the Jag, too.

The 186 allusion probably has to be quietly dropped altogether, too. Balls.

 

[Exius Xavarus]

We will call her...TigerFestival!

You're really bad with names, Asbel. Good thing Richard likes it.

I call it the X1. Xbone is just silly and feels childish to say.

 

[Elijin]

Im going to call it the Xbox One.

Then chuckle about people ragging on microsoft about listening to their customers and ammending policy, only to get trash talked for not sticking to their guns. (Guns which you all hated).

 

[Ragsnstitches]

Xbox One80. It just works on so many levels.

 

[KOMega]

X1, for typing purposes, or just Xbox 'cuz why not.
All the other names are so good though, haha.

Xbox 180 is great.
Next gen: Xbox 90?
