I think it's alright. Xbox One has a nice shortening to "X1", and it does a good job of projecting confidence in the product and positioning it as an "all in one" device.

There's a chance it might be confused from time to time with the OG Xbox, but that console is a far enough in the past that I think it will be OK. More important is that there will be no confusion with the Xbox 360; Microsoft didn't make the same mistake Nintendo did of naming their new console in such a way that it is hard to distinguish between the two.

I like it.

Also, I love the XBone nickname. Hilarious!

I honestly preferred the name, Xbox Fusion. I know. I'm weird.

Xbox One is a ok name, I would give a 6 out 10. I personally prefer Infinity.

It's not horrible like PS Vita or WiiU. But it's not very good either.

No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Horrible name, even worse than Wii U

Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

I would have loved "Xbox Infinity", Xbox One makes sense in the context but isn't as likeable imo.

Some useful VGChartz tweaks
