Microsoft is always obsessed with what their competition is doing so I'm with others saying it will be called Xbox Infinite.
The pitch is that Xbox isn't just a console. It's an ecosystem and a way of life. It's bringing together gamers of all types from the casual to the hardcore. The world is ever changing and we need to change with it. With Xbox Infinite we are making Xbox available to you whenever you want it. Blah blah blah stream the biggest and best lineup of "exclusives" ever (don't buy Sony) at home or on the go with our streaming whatever (don't buy Nintendo) with the best graphics on the planet (Xbox rules!).
They will also continue to try to isolate Sony even more by securing partnerships with Indies to release on Nintendo and MS only. They will do this by pushing funding, crossplay, Xbox Live enabled services (cheevos, friends list, etc), and crossbuy with PC and Switch. This going along with the infinite moniker since again the idea is that Xbox is always there and is an ecosystem with benefits past just the console.

The name came at a time when devices were expected to connect to everything and do everything. Not sure how it was confusing.
The Y Box. They will only learn of and instantly regret their mistake during the conference, when the name is spoken for the first time after years of emails and PowerPoint presentations.
The half point variant will be called the Y Box New Original edition, after which the company is disbanded.

Xbox Uranus!? (Apologies for the childish joke, I couldn't resist!)
Xbox Arcus, Nimbus, Thunderhead, Stormcloud, Shit cloud, Shit cloud 360, Cloud box one, SkyBox... Powered by Azure xCloud. (Better buy SkyBox Labs first)

I mean, I set the table for this one...
And hey, with Xbox Uranus Microsoft wouldn't need any marketing since the name would spread it like wildfire.
While i dont think its their biggest challenge, Microsoft seems pretty bad and inconsistent with its naming of gaming devices. The best they've done are with the original "Xbox" and i thought the "Kinect" was pretty rad. Much like Nintendo i look forward to seeing what they come up with next.
Id be totally fine with the two new consoles just being the Xbox 2S and Xbox 2X.

Xbox One Up
I like what they did with the Xbox One X. When people gave them flack for the reveal presentation of the Xbox One, it was quickly named the XBOne. So when they revealed the XBox One X it's just XBOX.
They did kind of punch themselves in the D with the All Digital Edition.... XBox One S All Digital Edition = XBox One SAD Edition

Xbox Next is a stupid final name. It only makes sense when talking about it in the future tense. What about the one after Xbox Next? Xbox Next Next?
