I want Xboxo to stick. Then you can enjoy Senor Spielbergo's Halo tv series on your tv-playing Xboxo.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Bone is a great word. X is a great letter. What's not to like...?

 

[1-D_FTW]

I can tell it won't stick. XO pr XBO in the future.

Yeah. I mentioned this earlier. It's funny now because almost everyone is downbeat/angry about the conference. So almost nobody is taking offense to it. But once everyone aligns back in their camps, it's gonna become a real issue. And go the way of some other unflattering terms that only raised people's BP.

 

[Vexxan]

As funny as XBone is I hope it doesn't last forever but it's probably the easiest name to say.

X1 or XBO are the ones I'd like to see as "official".

 

[Juice]

Microsoft did this to themselves with the name.

They picked a name with Xbox 360 that lent itself to being colloquially referred to as "360" for six years.

Then they named the next product Xbox One, and everyone immediately recognized they couldn't just start using "One" as a proper noun when it's used as a pronoun every few sentences.

And unlike "PS1-4", "XO" and "XBO" are terribly unpleasant-sounding.

 

[Various Artists]

ITT One person doesn't like something so everyone else should stop.

You are XBoned dude. Its here to stay.

 

[Haunted]

5 letters is not even a good abbreviation!

 

[Tomodachi]

Go home Xbone, you're drunk.

 

[Mael]

Xbone really annoys the shit out of me.

Use the proper name, Xbox One.

Sorry MSFT marketing suit, you just had to choose a better name next time.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I've been going with this. Although usually XOne. Still don't know how I should pronounce that, that. Cross one? Eckz-own? Ecks-one?

You just proved why Xone is terrible.

 

[Hellsing321]

 

[Der Flatulator]

XB1
Xbox One
XO

So many other options...

 

[Pachimari]

Xbone is funny and annoying at the same time.

I rather XB1, XBOne, XBone, XBO or something.

 

[kvn]

XBone.

 

[Jinfash]

Xbone is the mot brilliant name ever.

 

[Vidpixel]

XBone sounds like some sort of weird rapper alias.

 

[Raticus79]

I think this would make a great poll. Please make it happen.

Joke entries:

The Bone

XBox Yawn

Neo

Honestly, Xbone is really catchy and they're going to have to fight to keep that from becoming the dominant term.

"The cable bone's connected to the ... Xbone... the Xbone's connected to the... Kinect bone... the Kinect bone's connected to the... FBI, so buy some electrical tape today~!"

 

[AndyD]

Xbone is here to stay.

#teamXbone

Ditto.

 

[trmas]

xbone it is... all over twitter already

 

[nailbombxx]

We are Xboned.

 

[MichaelCorleone]

I'm with you OP its fucking irritating. XB1

 

[JWong]

Xbone is fucking stupid, but it's also great.

I'm using XO.

It's a good sauce.

 

[Woorloog]

Xbone forever. I don't want to have to waste the extra syllable on its stupid full name.

Yup.
Xbone is pleasant to say, rolls off the tongue well.

And Xbox One is cumbersome, slow and not good.

 

[Skyzard]

It's a lot less effort to say... rolls pretty easily, but yeah I can imagine xbox fans getting suicidal frustrated after a while.

 

[Grisby]

X1 for life.

 

[Delicious Waffles]

XBO.

 

[Risette]

I've been going with this. Although usually XOne. Still don't know how I should pronounce that, that. Cross one? Eckz-own? Ecks-one?

[Courage]

Come on guys, throw MS a Xbone here.

 

[aravuus]

To a juvenile 13 year old, maybe

Haha oh my god

Xbone is good and I hope it stays

 

[Archaix]

The basic concept of this thread is hilarious. Too many people are using Xbone! Let's make a poll to...uh...prove that a lot of people are using it? Were you hoping that the poll would actually be some sort of legally binding contract preventing people from being able to use Xbone? I really don't understand what the poll would accomplish.

Xbone really annoys the shit out of me.

Use the proper name, Xbox One.

You've convinced me. It's XBone, just because there's actually somebody out there that is bothered by not using the "proper" name for a product.

 

[Phonomezer]

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.

Just ignore it, it's stupid.

 

[Sky Chief]

Xbone is great. If Microsoft wants a nicer nickname they should have picked a better name.

Exactly, which brings up a question, do you think MS thought that everyone would call it the Xbone? Frankly, it is quite fitting to a console that bones both the consumer and die hard gamer and has a shitty, nonsensical name.

 

[FlyinJ]

Sign me up for team XBone.

 

[Amey]

 

[bamboobimbo]

Give the dog an Xbone

 

[Sianos]

Xbone has a more personal, almost teasing feel to it.

XBO would be my go-to more professional acronym, but Xbone has heart to it.

 

[Deku Tree]

Xbox One -> XboxOne -> XboxOne-> Xbone

It is a great name. This topic has been Xboned.

 

[Jake Tower]

You're Xbone'd.

 

[jaypah]

The only way I'm using Xbone is if anytime you lose at any game ever during the lifespan of the console there's an OS level trigger that says, "You just got Xboned!!" in Duke Nukem's voice. Imagine it in Super Meat Boy, "You-You-You just-You just-You just got-You just got-You just got Xboned!".

 

[djplaeskool]

I'm not a fan of it, but "Xbone" is here to stay.

 

[Interfectum]

it's xbone.

deal with it.

 

[GuardianE]

To a juvenile 13 year old, maybe

Nah. It's funny to everyone that's not defensive about the console.

 

[ridethepiggy]

You've convinced me. It's XBone, just because there's actually somebody out there that is bothered by not using the "proper" name for a product.

A videogame console at that.

 

[PoweredBySoy]

lol XBOOOOOOOOOOONE *points to crotch*

 

[Lunar15]

Xbone is the easiest to type, but I'm not sure why. You'd think XBO would be easier to type, but for some reason I enjoy typing xbone more.

 

[Sethos]

It's not. It isn't even clever.

Don't be such an Xbone.

 

[Ricky_R]

Xbone is already established. Sorry.

 

[Hot Coldman]

XBone sounds like some sort of weird rapper alias.

He's the Rap Game's Don Mattrick.

 

[Foxix Von]

Basically

And no one will say it out in public.

Let's be real here. I've used the term "PS Triple" in public on numerous occasions. You bet your ass I'm saying Xbone in public.

 

[def sim]

Bone is a great word. X is a great letter. What's not to like...?

Bone alone is a fun word to say.

bone
