They're promising too much stuff here.

So how does one refer to this thing in short? X1 or X-One? Because typing a couple of extra characters to type out Xbox One is tiring and XO is something that does not roll off the tongue as well as being more commonly known to be used in cards as meaning 'Hugs and kisses'

Also, verbally, saying X-One sounds like you're talking about a robot or some kind of science experiment

They should have just went with 720...

XBOne

X Bone, 'kay, got it

[Hiiro326]

X Bone, 'kay, got it

Or say X1

Ecks One

Two syllables, similar to Wii-U, or PC, but less syllables than PS4.

weird!

Not going to get it for a while
I'm going to get it once all the good games have released on it
No point having a console with barely any games on it

15 exclusive games on release with 8 being entirely new franchises.

I like the new design to the controller, console and kinect.
The controller adds older and old with new that makes it interesting.

I hate people that say it's more of a PC or a media player or just not a game console in general. Might as well not call the Xbox 360 a game console either.
Just because they added more social and media features and didn't show much gameplay doesn't mean it's not one, it's not like they could anyways.  It still plays games and it's not gonna be just sports games, they did announce that there are new developers making new games for this console, with more franchises.  And they didn't say that much about the new Xbox Live portion of it so maybe there's more features for gaming, just got a wait a few weeks for E3.  Plus the design is not that close to a DVD player because it doesn't have a bunch of buttons and stuff on it.

I am glad they didn't name it "Xbox 720", that would've just been dumb.  Xbox One isn't good either but it's better than Xbox 720.

but it is more like a pc, the console actually uses a pc architecture.  That's why they said that.

Still Xbox. Just like the last two Xbox's.

Yeah, but Cryengine 3 is mostly used to make generic forgettable FPS shooters like Crysis, so it isn't a big whoop.

See the difference is if you say you're playing your "Xbox" you can't assume they are playing the new one now, it could also be the 360 or on the rare occasion the old one which people referred to as the Xbox 1 most of the time because they didn't feel like saying the "original Xbox."

No one I know says they're playing their Playstation unless referring to the original. It's usually PS2 or PS3 for the others.

[Bisjac]

see they cant call it xbox 3 because the ps4 makes it looks obsolete just by name.
we all know better, but the average casual gamer these days is actually that handicapped.

by that token, the wii-u should actually be called the "nintendo 6"
then sony would be forced to start naming the play stations lol
