Lawsuits? I highly doubt that would be something that would pass in a court of law. They haven't sold the original Xbox in 12 years.

Exactly. And didn't Apple do something similar with the iPad?

 

[Darkstorne]

No.

Not the same thing.

Surface Pro means Xbox. Just Xbox, is on the table.

Except "Surface" used to be the name for a completely different product even before the tablet range kicked off. Microsoft are fond of rebranding existing product names into new products, and it makes a lot of sense here given "Elite" has often been associated with a high quality version of an Xbox. It's a sensible refocus here.

Just call it the Xbox One Elite and call it a day

I can see this with multiple SKUs including the Elite controller to reach the magical $599.

Exactly. Surface was once their brand for a freaking table. But it's a catchy name so they re-branded an entirely different hardware line with the name. It worked.

The Xbox 360 Elite was the mid-gen refresh of the Xbox 360 with a bigger harddrive, HDMI and a new colourscheme. The moniker still fits pretty damn well for the upcoming Xbox One refresh.

They've used Xbox One Elite.

They won't use it again.

You underestimate their power. 😊

Didn't they already have an Xbox one elite bundle the one that came with the tb hdd and the elite controller?.

Xbox Spartan

I get the relation to Master Chief

But the general word Spartan means simple with no comfort :/

Xbox One Super Pro.

New Xbox part of the Xbox One family but no One in the name.

 

[Novocaine]

They could call it the Xbox One P so when they make the slim version it would be Xbox One PS

Would be clean and on point, however the general public is pretty dumb look at wiiu mixup it's why numbers are better people know where they stand it's a shame they didn't stick with numbers.

 

[Hoo-doo]

And now the Elite bundle will include the Xbox One Elite going forward.

I don't see the problem.

Xbox one supreme.

Drop the "One". Just Xbox Elite. It's cleaner.

Hopefully they get the Killer Instinct dude to announce it.

But for all intents and purposes it's still an Xbox One. I don't think they can bypass adding the Xbox One name in there.

Xbox One Zero.

Yup. And they'll claim once more that they never noticed.

Ha ha, they have probably just read this and are now trying to figure out a new name sharpish!

 

[Humidex]

oh for the days of CBOAT...but yes, quite excited to find out what they'll bring to the table, especially with Forza 7.

This was my thought today too
Surprusingly few leaks at MS this year.

Final prediction - Xbox One Scorpio

Brilliant

 

[WouldYouKindly]

all they have to do is tell me is crackdown 3 is at launch and im there day fucking zero

 

[Pocky4Th3Win]

I think it will be called the Xbox One Elite. They used it before to position a sku as a higher tier.

Final prediction - Xbox One Scorpio

Codenames never stick. Especially not one as 'edgy' as Scorpio.

It would be the generic tribal tattoo or leather trenchcoat of console names. Would have been cool in the early 2000's maybe.

 

[mike4001_]

What about simply

"Xbox One Premium"

?

Cortana was a code name... It stuck, did it not?

Every gamer out there knows what Scorpio is now. Why change it?

 

[takoyaki]

Xbox ONE UP

edit: Xbox One Elite or Xbox One Pro seem like the safest bets.

Maybe Xbox One Metal if it has an aluminum (colored) casing, they mentioned coding to the metal a lot and they have targeted enthusiasts so far with the unveil and Digital Foundry piece.

While I'd normally agree with you, they've leveraged the Scorpio moniker in a ton of publicity like that Scorpion made of Xbox logos and the lollipops with Scorpions in them; stuff like that wasn't done with codenames for other consoles, was it?

Most gamers never heard of Scorpio. You're mixing up enthusiasts with the mainstream.

Perhaps you're right. But I wouldn't characterize what you just said as a 'ton of publicity'. It's a jpeg and lollipops you can buy at nearly every market.
The name 'Scorpio' certainly hasn't penetrated much into the mainstream gaming audience. Just the people in gaming communities mostly.

Before the name of Kinect was revealed Project Natal was similarly a near houshold name in hardcore gaming circles. Same with Project Morpheus/Orbis/Durango/Dolphin/NX/NGP etcetera.

And I just think it's a name that sounds tacky as hell. But that's just me.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

It won't be xbox one ______, it's going to be ______ xbox one.

It wouldn't sound cool that way, but it definitely communicates that the hardware is a clear step up over the vanilla unit for the average consumer. Super/Ultra Xbox One. I wonder if that stylized 'S' noticed a few days ago doesn't actually have to do with the project name. That font is all over E3 presentation messaging, though, so it would be a lot of effort to throw people off the scent if it turned out to be something else entirely.

 

[big_z]

Super Xbox One

 

[MaulerX]

But for all intents and purposes it's still an Xbox One. I don't think they can bypass adding the Xbox One name in there.

Which is why I feel that ultimately calling it Xbox One X would be the best thing because they can keep the "Xbox One" and then have the acronym be simply Xbox.

It won't be xbox one ______, it's going to be ______ xbox one.

Super Xbox One?
