So what will you call the first Xbox?

I call it the original Xbox like most people I know do. But I like the suggestion of Xbox Prime. That sounds much cooler.
The XBox. I don't see any cases outside this forum where discussing Microsoft's consoles would be pertinent.
I'm going to call the next box the "Lonely Box" because it doesn't like sharing its games. As an added plus, there's no confusion with it's predecessors.
Umm.....umm......ThirdBox? That's all I got.
Seriously though, the name Xbox One is the most idiotic thing I've heard in a long time. I wont be surprised if me and my friends would just call it the Third box, Third Xbox or Xbox 3.

I have always called, and will always call the first Xbox the following:
Xbox.
Yup. Nothing more, nothing less. When I talk about the Xbox 360, I say:
Xbox 360, or 360.
I don't know why people keep having to name it differently, just go with the name it was given. It was called the Xbox, so I call it the Xbox. Now we have the Xbox 360, so I call that the Xbox 360. Xbox One will take some time to grow on me because it just sounds awkward to pronounce and isn't as catchy, so oh well. I'll figure that out soon enough.

Piece of junk. Hey-ooh! No I kid, of course. I would probably call it the first or original xbox if it ever came up, which so far hasn't been that many times.
XOne
Sometimes I'll pronounce it as "zone" (e.g. when I refer to playing a game on it as "going up in the XOne zone"), but sometime I'll pronounce it as "X1", depending on how snappy and militaritst I want to sound when I talk to myself about what I'm about to do (e.g "Time to activate the X1").
I think for this burgeoning chapter in the history on mankind, it's important to have two different pronunciations for the 3rd iteration of a something called "One".
EDIT: I misread the question and thought this was about what will you call the new Xbox One.
Jesus Christ! It's barely been 6 hours and it's already become confusing. Who'd have thought they could have trumped "360" for a bizarre and confusing naming convention... say what you want about Sony, but at least they can count.
I suppose I'd just call the first Xbox the "Xbox", like I call my 360 and what I'll inevitably call the new one? too. I've generally called the new iterations of gaming devices by their brand name rather than specific model, e.g. Playstation, Xbox, PC.

The xbox was "THE xbox. Then their was the xbox 360. What happens when something goes all the way around in a 360 degree circle??
You get ONE complete rotation...
ONE... hence
the xbox One

Why does it matter?
The original Xbox was discontinued to where it might as well not exist anymore. There's no backwards compatability, and we still haven't heard any plans like the one PS has made to stream older system games or anything.
This might as well be the first Xbox since Microsoft has pretty much disowned the older systems.
