I call it the original Xbox like most people I know do. But I like the suggestion of Xbox Prime. That sounds much cooler.

I will call the new on Xbox: The Next Generation, and just call the original one Xbox.

In all seriousness I'll just call the old one the original xbox like I do now.

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.

Wouldn't it still be Xbox? You have Xbox, Xbox360 and Xbox one. Don't add a one when you're talking about the first xbox.

Xbox prime, I suppose
Holy shit, that would've been cool.
doesn't make a lick of sense but it's so much better compared to Xbox One


OT: I thought we already agreed on XBone?

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.

I'm gonna call it "Xbox: Combat Evolved"

I think some people are confused as to what the thread is asking. What will you now call the original xbox that came out in 2001, not the new one.

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
