A lively discussion has emerged over the proper stylistic choice for Microsoft’s gaming system name, sparking interest in both its visual logo and written references.

Since the system’s launch, its emblem has consistently featured a fully capitalized name, while most writings opt for a version that only capitalizes the initial letter. In contrast, several well-known companies in the gaming industry maintain a format where every character appears in uppercase. This longstanding practice might be ripe for revision.

Recently, on social media, the latest update revealed… head of the console division, Asha Sharma, invited people to weigh in on which version best represents the brand. The options under review include:

  • The version with only the first character in uppercase.
  • The version with every character in uppercase.
