Xbox One was almost called Xbox Infinity, Penello confirms
Speaking with Forbes, Penello said that the decision to call the console ‘Xbox One’ came from Microsoft’s marketing team, and added, “That’s actually from the brand guys. The name is all them. We just wanted to make sure the hardware was solid. What it was called was top secret, even for many people on the team.”
But now that the name is out there, Penello was able to comment on Xbox Infinity rumours that surfaced before the console’s reveal in May. He explained, “The name Xbox Infinity was in the running, I can say that. [The marketing team is] crafty. Who’s to say that they didn’t leak that name out in the weeks ahead of the launch? They are very crafty.”
Did they leak the Infinity name to gauge a reaction? Would you have preferred Xbox Infinity over Xbox One? Let us know below.

Once the Xbox One becomes obsolete, they can just use the name Xbox Infinity as their new console.

I'm not a fan of the Name Xbox Infinity but, Xbox One sounds like their working Backwards.. Like How we go from Xbox (Original) to Xbox 360 to Xbox One? Seems kinda repetitive as well. I don't know.. Maybe its just me. Anyway.. Xbox One does sound dope

HarmfulMushroom ...Who WOULDN'T prefer Infinity over One? Xbox One is the stupidest name they could've chosen.
I still would've preferred Xbox 720 myself.
