Pardon the OT, but:

What the fuck?! MS went from their first...to "360"...to **"One"**?

"No, Halo 437 isn't for the XBox1, it's for the XBox One."

Between that and Win8, that's it: now I *know* Redmond has slipped
into the multiverse's "asylum" reality.

First, I thought "Wii" was an unimaginably dumb name. Then I think:

"Holy shit, they actually managed to top it with 'Weeyuu'
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JElywbkSbY>, I didn't think such a
level of dumb was even possible!"

And now, the mere following year, Microsoft manages to
out-Nintendo Nintendo itself by naming their *third* Xbox "XBox One"?!?
What the fuck is wrong with these people? Is there *no* sanity left?

I *used* to think "I miss when consoles has *good* names." Now I miss
*that*: the days then they had *merely* generic names, or even merely
*bad* names.

XBox One....for god's sake...

That would certainly be interesting to hear. Although unless they've
secretly had two AAA games in development, I imagine we can make a
pretty safe guess.
