Was the NAME "XBOX one" mentioned before May 21?
Please help fellow Yahooers! My dad and I made a bet involving a huge sum of money. He said he found out about the name "Xbox One" before May 21 on his iPad. He think he is right because of a time stamp that says "2 days ago" on Google. Sometimes Google is wrong, and you have to look at the actual article. We all know that's impossible. I disagree saying that the name of the new xbox was only revealed when they announced it at the conference. Put a long, detailed answer to prove him wrong, or he is right.

The name Xbox One was only announced at the Xbox One announcement, it had not been mentioned at all before that. The picture your dad found could have been uploaded in a different time zone causing to appear to have been on longer than it has when you look at it from your time zone.
The only Xbox names that had been thought of before the announcement were Xbox 720. Xbox Infinity, Xbox Fusion and Xbox Durango.

You're right, according to IGN the announcement of the name change was at the event "The news came during today’s much-hyped Xbox Reveal event and puts numerous rumors to rest including names like Fusion, Xbox 720, Xbox 8 and Loop." I read before the event they were going to call if Xbox Infinity, here is a link showing that they changed it that day http://www.webpronews.com/the-next-xbox-gets-a-nam...
