What do you call the first Xbox?

Has anybody ever actually called this the Xbox 1? I can't remember ever doing so.

Theres an interview with J Allard during the making of the 360 and he keeps referring to the one before as "the Xbox 1"

Which made me trip out slightly and confused me
 
I've been referring to it as Xbox 1 since the 360 was announced and I'm not going to stop now because of Microsoft's nonsensical naming shenanigans.

I refer to the new one as Xbone.
 
When I say it it's just "Xbox", sometimes I have to clarify it, sometimes I don't. I'm a 30 year old British man, I cannot pull off saying "O.G" in any context without looking like a bell-end.

When I write it on a forum or whatever I tend to put 'oXBOX'.
 
Original xbox.

It's annoying when I try to do a search online or on youtube for "xbox" and then it shows xbox one videos. I have to search for original xbox, old xbox, xbox 2004. Trying to find the magic word to find what I'm looking for.

It's so much easier to search for playstation 2 or dreamcast.
 
OG XBOX when I'm typing to someone about it.

The Original XBOX when I'm talking to someone about it.
 
I call it the Xbox One. The Xbox one is the Xbone. And since the 360 kinda looked like a bone, I call that the bone.

Xbox OG
 
Fatbox, though that was mostly due to the Fatbox controller from Launch. Made it easy when the current Xbox was called the Xbox One.
 
Don't really have much reason to talk about it but I'd refer to it as the original xbox, just to avoid confusion. Though if I were referring to the new one, it'd be X1 not xbox anyway.
