    Better than their runner-up choice which was probably Microsoft XCopilot OneBox Pro.

    Asha Sharma, Xbox CEO, ran a poll on X earlier this week, asking fans whether Microsoft should use Xbox or XBOX. The results were in favor of XBOX,

              Yeah, there are several repositories that seek to replicate it, but at least last time I looked they’re not particularly searchable. Another lemming did demonstrate that you can download the data and grep through it but I haven’t been motivated to do so yet.

      The use of all caps for Xbox is a return to original form, though. Microsoft’s first Xbox logo for its console was all caps, and the company has favored using similar capped versions for the Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X / S console logos.

          The funny part is that upon reading your question, I figured surely the Wikipedia page would have that information. Then I saw that it said in the first few words:

          Xbox (stylized as XBOX)[[2]](https://www.theverge.com/news/931918/microsoft-xbox-rebrand-caps)

          …which links back to the same article. Which is how I found out that the article answers your question. 🙃
