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

Him, Blackace, Mems, and other Lems are in complete denial meltdown mode. Blackace even denied XOne needing a used game fee when Phil Harrison said it himself. I feel sorry for Lems right now. 

It's THE ONE.  That's why.

No

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

"Do I get to bring [my XBLA games] with me [to the Xbox One]?

Those games will continue to run on your Xbox 360 for as long as your Xbox 360 runs. The box is not backward compatible and we think for somebody who invests in a large digital library that you want to keep your [Xbox 360]. Keep that as a vibrant part of the ecosystem. That's why we've made sure that your identity, your friends, are constant between both platforms. You don't have a separate identity on Xbox One or [Xbox 360]; it's the same, you are you. My friend's network is the same on both boxes, my achievements are the same. So we think that service component is an important component to keep constant across both devices."

Because Microsoft got Gaben Newell syndrome. They can't count past three.

Perhpaps it is because unlike Sony and Nintendo, their first console was a relative failure. Who knows? It definitely is a terrible name.

Could also be similar to how Acer Aspire One was named. Just a cool name with no meaning.

Because it is a place for media to go on to: one box. shadowchronicle

"Xbox 3."
"No, we cannot name it Xbox 3. Xbox 3 or Playstation 4, which one would you get?"
"Ok... you got a point. Let's just think this over."
"Xbox 1."
"Done."

They can't count :(

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.

You forgot to add this reason.

*Because it's Microsoft's first console.

It's the same thing for the Wii U. I just don't understand the naming process in the new consoles

Better then Playstation 4.

Because when you see one you turn one degree and walk away.kuraimen

[QUOTE="kuraimen"]Because when you see one you turn one degree and walk away.TigerSuperman

Because they are going back to the success of Xbox 1 (yes the original lol)

[QUOTE="kuraimen"]Because when you see one you turn one degree and walk away.TigerSuperman

parents and non gamers are going to get confused by the name thinking its the very first Xbox ever made. Thinking its a release of the classic Xbox lol. Really they should have went with Xbox Infinity or some other name.
