[Makoto-Yuki]

[ManaByte]

This is winning.

 

[TacosNSalsa]

Everyone: Where's the poll?


OP:

 

[Insane Metal]

Sorry!

MODSSSSS Mod of War halp

 

[Diddy X]

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

best poll ever.

 

[Stuart360]

 

[Fbh]

It's better than this thread at least

 

[JORMBO]

I don't know what to vote for.

 

[Husky]

poor guy
I'm gonna call it the XSEX but not cuz I think the name is dumb. It's cuz I wanna make fun of any Xbox. The name's fine.
XSEX, the perfect companion for Xbone.

 

[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]

 

[Birdo]

Dont forget to put a silly option in the poll for everyone to pick.

 

[cucuchu]

I imagine Phil Spencer sent out this exact same poll (without an actual poll) to his staff to vote for the name, and that is how they ended up with it.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

i'll just call it the SexBox

 

[Mod of War]

Let the voting commence!

 

[ViolentP]

You're a dumb asshole, OP. But you're our dumb asshole.

 

[Birdo]

On it's own it seems odd. But I think there are going to be other Series boxes (Like the streaming or lower power one).

 

[Fermbiz]

XSeX

i honestly thought it was just another version of the Xbox One by both look and name

 

[OmaeWaMouShindiggity]

The name of a system holds absolutely no weight in my enjoyment of said games on it. Name that thang PoopDickMcgee XTREME and as long as I get enjoyable memories from it then its all good.

 

[Insane Metal]

You're a dumb asshole, OP. But you're our dumb asshole.

Why u call me dis

 

[ViolentP]

Why u call me dis

Nothing but love, bruv.

That is literally a better name.

You guys are funny

 

[Paltheos]

Where's the "It sounds like an automobile name" option?

 

[Fake]

I don't know what to vote for.

12TF of course.

 

[GymWolf]

Indifferent, i don't play with a console name but with his games.


But to be fair, it's pretty stupid, but after x360 and xbox one nobody was hoping for a good name i think...

 

[a multicultural team of v]

The amount of atrocious idiotic console names Microsoft has come up with just to avoid having a number one less than Sony is pretty amazing.

 

[Paperboy]

They put so much money and effort in to developing a gaming console and then they ruin it all by giving it a confusing name like Xbox Series X, Wii U or Xbox One.

 

[Psykodad]

The name is the best since OG Xbox.

The design, on the other hand...

 

[HE1NZ]

Doesn't it come as 3 different devices? And Series X is just the moniker for all of them?

 

[Spukc]

Well if it turns out to be xbox one / s / x /their new console and PC

It would prolly be the best name they can give it.
Microsofts power is in numbers.

The more people own an X based game. The more they can sell it. And modern software titles can be scaled so easily it seems these days.
Doom 2016 & witcher 3 on a 6 watt console from nintendo. We need to start thinking outside of boxes i guess.

All in for the name

 

[magnumpy]

maybe they will give multiple different "consoles" different names... like Series X will be one, and then there's some other name for their cloud streaming device, and another for a cut down 1080p(?) version for their discount home console version, etc...

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

After the WiiU brand, MS is doing everything they can to make PS5 a success. Sony should thanks them at this point.

 

[Myths]

It's good, I like it. Just seems to flow well and lends itself to a variety of entry. "S series, X series, etc. "

 

[nikolino840]

Indefference becouse i don't care so much about the name
Is an Xbox thats enough for me to buy

As i said.. the name series Is to consolidate the fact that Is not the last console but the First series of the new Xbox consoles in the future

They have even delete the "One" in the name

 

[Cattlyst]

Gotta go with XseX. Sorry.

 

[Grinchy]

I feel like the other 8 threads about the name were a good enough place to answer this question

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

Name is shit but I can't wait for the slim version that looks like a black game cube.

 

[PocoJoe]

Earlier today i sent pic of xboxsex to my friend whom is hardcore gamer with text "lol this is new xbox series x" and talked about how it looks.

"What the heck is that thing anyway?" -him

So if oldschool gamer hobbyist cant instantly see that it is next gen xbox, how casuals do?

Kind of failed name.

Anybody would understand "new ps5"

 

[Jadsey]

Between the name and the form factor, I think MS have already lost the the next gen.

 

[Thing on a Spring]

The name is dumb as hell and it looks like fuck all. But if it beasts then neither of those things matter. If it's good, I'll get one but it'll have to give me enough of a differentiation between it and a gaming PC for me to bite. I have gamepass and it's made my xbone obsolete.

 

[Leonidas]

In the end it's just a name. It's Xbox X to me.

Do people go around calling the Xbox Elite 2 Controller by it's full name of Microsoft Xbox One Elite Controller Series 2?

 

[ShirAhava]

They should have called it Xbox X1 for the lulz

 

[Dr.brain64]

I'll call it x.

Hell, you don't even have to say new. If you say PS5, everyone with even a shred of a clue about gaming knows it's a brand new, next-gen console.

 

[SNG32]

The name is absolute trash. I would have been happy with Xbox two or Xbox 5. It's going to be interesting seeing the name at the bottom of multiplatform game announcements.

 

[Valonquar]

I'm sure it will be the console of choice for XxXSephiroth420XxX

 

[Harlock]

Is not bad as Vita and Wii U.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

i think it's good. it sounds like a luxury product. it sounds like when you get a car, the models have X, or XL, or S.

however it is a little confusing. it sounds like a suped up version of the X Box

then again given that it will have backwards compatibility, maybe that is fine.
