  I’ve heard the reason for the name of XBox 360’s successor was that some marketing geniuses heard that most people called it “the three-sixty” for short, and thought “Great! Let’s call this the XBox One, and it will be referred to as The One! Like Neo!!”

  And then, everyone collectively agreed on “XBone” 🦴

    Lol sounds about right!! Ive never heard anyone call it “the one”, ever. But fair enough thay they guessed that may happen.

  So the Xbox 720 is twice as good as the one before it, but the 900 only gives you a 25% increase? Who’d buy that garbage?

    True. Maybe it should go 2600, 5200, 7800…

      Bullshit, my 80’s electronic device just went from 464 to 6128 (plus). You know, logical progression.
