So why did Microsoft call their third console the XBOX ONE?

I've heard multiple reasons:

* It is called the Xbox One becausee it will be the last one they make

* They call it the Xbox One because when you see One, it'll make you want a PS4 instead

* They call it the Xbox One because it represents the amount of good games it is getting

* Its called the Xbox One because no one you know will get One.

They want the success of the PS One.

Because its the one console to rule them allRR360DD

Meh. 

Some marketer probably came up with it. They're not into science and logic, so I make no effort to understand the thinking of a single delusional marketing human who ruthlessly climbed up the corporate ladder, to get themselves into a position whereby they can give a console a moronic name. 

They can't count :(

Because it will sell ONE hundred million units LESS than the GodStation4 :cool:

Because that's the amount of people who actually think it's a good name

Im still wondering what was the thought process in the name. One of the lamest System names everNengo_Flow

Because it is a single, unified system that they want to take over the living room. One device.

IF they Called it Xbox 3 then you would have this. ... Oh the PS4 is newer than the Xbox 3. They should have named it Xbox 4. :twisted:

They said it on the conference "all in ONE system". Pay attention next time.

Because that's the amount of people who actually think it's a good name

As many as that?

Wow. That is far more people than I ever anticipated.

Yes I remember our conversation very well. 

Yeah, the Infinity name lacked logic, and you did help to convince me that a name is a name and it doesn't need logic behind it, it's all about marketing. 

I agree that Fusion is a better name and provides the same core message of fusing into one console. I'm quite glad it wasn't called 'infinity' because I had a bet on with a friend irl, he was betting on infinity and i chose a different name, but not 'one' obviously.

Because the PS4 is 4x more powerful than it.

NO NO NO.... It is calledthe Xbox One because you will need to buy ONE a year because of the RROD. God... why is everybody here so ill informed... heh :cool:

One is the number of lemmings left after that trainwreck reveal.

I guess the reveal was really that bad cause there are no Lems around system wars lately LOL

2) so when you abbreviate it it's X.O. which means "hugs and kisses"lamprey263

aw. 

I'm going to have to buy one now.

It's THE ONE.  That's why.

Because it's everything in one box, except for games.

Because it will sell ONE hundred million units LESS than the GodStation4 :cool:

heeweesRus

I doubt the PS4 is even selling 50 Million to be honest.

It is all the efforts of Ms fullfilled in "One" box. 

Stupid names sell. Look that the new ipad, or the Wii. 

I guess it's a word play of "all-in-one" as it does music, tv, movies and games (I think).
