I prefer the Xbox One name to Xbox 360. The name scheme follows Windows policy, and the Xbox spans three different Windows ages... The Xbox One is part of the whole "One family, one OS" schtick they have had recently with Windows 10. Onedrive, Onenote, Xbox One... I am surprised a Lumia One hasn't been announced, especially since I am pretty much the MS counterpart of an Apple fan (all my stuff is MS)...

GameCube was a cool name, GBA too, and I believe the Dreamcast had a great name, but PSP, DS, 3DS, Wii no U and NX sound hilarious. They are too oddball for someone who likes short names...

Playstation is bland. It's too much of a mouthful...

Interestingly, OneNote predates all of this by over a decade. It came out in 2002 or 2003 IIRC. OneDrive was ported over from SkyDrive.

Xbox One wouldn't have been nearly as bad if it weren't the 3rd Xbox. I also thought it was the all-in-one strategy that it signified, but I guess it's neither here nor there. If this was a film series people would think it had to be some kind of prank or comedy series. Iron Man. Followed by Iron Man 360! And the third film is Iron Man One!

Which isn't unheard of. Also, I'll take Xbox One over PS4. I mean, at some point, it starts to become annoying. PSOne, PS2... PS3... PS4... alright we know you're obsessed with your cash cow Sony, but would you mind trying to redesign it a bit?!

The logo is also another thing I find MS pulled off better than Sony. The sphere with an X has a very elegant feel to it and seems like something out of a fashion magazine. The PS is too elaborate to give off the same feeling...
