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.
