I think X1 is best, easiest to say without also sounding ridiculous to people not clued into the console scene.
 
The console itself does not say Xbox One on the outer casing. It just says Xbox. Clever.

MS themselves seems to abbreviate to XO.

How cute is that?

When you try and play the "words dont mean what you think they mean" marketing card, the internet responds.

Xbone.
 
Well saying M$ got a bit stale in recent years, so I for one am happy we have a new way of saying "Microsoft is horrible etc etc".
 
xbone because as a UK resident half of the features shown off on tuesday mean nothing to me, plus I already have a Sky HD recorder box that only my parents use, I just watch twitch and online shit.
So for a UK resident, the system might feel a little XBareBones?

Is that stretching it too far?
 
No need. NeoGAF has spoken.

I am sorry but this is really driving me nuts..it seems that the XBone moniker/meme is getting more and more used around here and I can't stand it...can someone make a poll or something or discuss it here so that,hopefully,we can get rid of that expression,I dont want to see this moniker for the next 7 years or so...

I prefer XO or XBox One,obviously...

What do you guys think,what should we call the XBox One.

And more to your point, it's obviously a bit of a jab at Microsoft directly for the way they, most likely, came up with the name. I'm sure it was focused grouped to death to sound hip and here we are likening the system to a dick.
 
I'm reminded of the creator of GIF saying that it should be pronounced "JIF".

OP, I think this has probably reached the point where the community has spoken and it's too late to do anything about it.
 
No offence unless banned I can keep using that monicker for as long as I like and to me given what transpired at the reveal and taking into account where their consumer policies stand at the moment it is a befitting one.

Some people are trying really hard. I say let them. At this point they are making themselves looks immature imo, like some kid calling another kid names in the playground.

That being said I could care less if the average joe uses it when all the dust has settled in a year or two. It's just a nickname after all.
 
Xbone isn't going anywhere. In fact, I expect it to spread the internet like wildfire. Wouldn't be surprised if you heard it said by some journalist(or anyone) at some point during E3.
 
Xbone sounds like a pretty cool nickname to me. Reminds me of that Seinfeld when George gives himself the nickname 'T-bone'
 
It's sort of funny, but I'm personally using XBO. I started out using XB1, but that makes it sound like we're talking about the original Xbox (because, yeah, the name Xbox One is pretty stupid). XO is too short, I think. So XBO it is.
