Xbone will pass similar to how shit like "hella" passed. People will eventually realize or simply follow suit over time like the rest of the shambling masses.

XBO.

 

[hachi]

I find it amusing, but not for any phallic connotations. More like... boneheaded, boned (in the general, not procreative sense), etcetera.

 

[herod]

xbone for the next few years or until it's quietly killed.

 

[i-Lo]

Should just be called xbox

Honestly this the best alternative. With that naming it's essentially a reboot.

 

[Arkos]

Xboner <-- been done right?

You are the first one.

 

[DoubleTap]

I like XBOne. Emphasis on the capital "O". Call it Ex-Bee-One if you like.
XBone as a nickname sounds a lot better than "PS-Triple" when that came out.

Even if it might not stick, if it's funny to people now, why is that pissing some people off?

 

[JWong]

X1 please.

So not only do Microsoft want to get confused with the HTC One, they want to be like another phone as well?

 

[Midou]

XO is wrong, it's hugs/kisses, or military position.

XBOX One takes WAY too fucking long to type out.

X1, XB1, XBO all look strange to me and don't remind me of the system, I have to stop to consider it when someone says X1.

Xbone is the way to go.

 

[Village]

Xbone

( someone photoshop microsoft faces onto this...)

 

[Chuck Norris]

To a juvenile 13 year old, maybe

Yeah, honestly, it didn't even really occur to me that it might reference a boner.

 

[Broken Joystick]

No. I want little children screaming down their microphones that they "Xboned my mom" while I try and play CoD Ghosts.

 

[BeerSnob]

Xbone it is. Come on, they couldn't have run that name by some actual people instead of just Microsoft execs? Xbox One becomes Xbone the second you have to shorthand that shit. It's no different from PS(X), SNES, NES and the like.

 

[Riposte]

To a juvenile 13 year old, maybe

Bad to the bone

 

[onimushroom]

I guess you only find "Xbone" juvenile if you think "bone" only means a boner or or boning, and nothing else.
Whenever I see "XBox One" in writing, my eyes just abbreviate it to Xbone, or my mind just reads it as Xbone. It has no negative connotation. It's just a dumb, shortened nickname. Two syllables.

Let's see what C.S. Lewis has to say about such things:

“When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

Ahh sflufan hey buddy, always with the quotes .

 

[i-Lo]

Lol their official document sanctions it.

Xbox brand managers on seeing "Xbone" take hold over the past 48 hours:

You got it, PhatSaqs!!!!!

lolololol

[R0nn]

I like X1

 

[GQman2121]

I meantioned this in a post yesterday, but I don't think anything is stopping the XBone train.

There's a new 8-4 play podcast tonight. Let's see what they use to describe the console during their discussions.

 

[aravuus]

It's as funny as "GayStation" or dick jokes regarding the Wii.

Not really like that at all.

It's incredible how bothered some people can get about something like this. I don't even think of the implications, I just like the word bone. Really, it's a funny word. I don't laugh when someone farts or says gay or queer instead of fun or something like that, so there's no need to pull the "I'm more mature than you" card.

 

[Marcel]

Xbone i think will end up being derogatory

You mean it isn't already?

 

[Various Artists]

Its crazy to think that they didn't see how this could come together. They officially endorse the Xbone reference. Of course "xboner" and "xboned" they only need to show this to their 1 year old nephew to get that.

 

[Neiteio]

This made me laugh way harder than it should've, lol

Anyways, nothing wrong with Xbone or its fans, Xboners.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I find it amusing, but not for any phallic connotations. More like... boneheaded, boned (in the general, not procreative sense), etcetera.

I just like the word "bone", and find it to be a hilarious word to end up in the name of a games console. People saying it's become popular because LOL DICKS have a rubbish sense of humour.

 

[Kokonoe]

X1 is the only right answer.

 

[toastyToast]

Everytime I see Xbone I start laughing. Xbone and dog made the reveal totally worth it

 

[Arkos]

I like XBOne. Emphasis on the capital "O". Call it Ex-Bee-One if you like.

XBone as a nickname sounds a lot better than "PS-Triple" when that came out.

While I thoroughly disagree with you about capitalizing the o (it's what makes it easy to type), this is a fair point and a good compromise. Although I like "ecks-bone" because it's also easier to say, being only two syllables. And penises lol

 

[Impeccable]

Lol their official document sanctions it.

It literally does, that is what hardcore defenders don't get yet.

 

[Sky Chief]

Xbox is the worst possible name as it refers to three consoles and the entire brand

 

[Lunar15]

Lol their official document sanctions it.

That is a photoshop.

It's the Xbone, people. Deal with it.

 

[Evolved1]

It's Xbone, and it's their own damn fault for it. The dog sealed it, btw.

This made me laugh way harder than it should've, lol

Anyways, nothing wrong with Xbone or its fans, Xboners.

Okay, that last bit was juvenile. And I laughed. Kinda funny how it rhymes with "owners"...

 

[Klocker]

XB1
or Xone

[CharminUltra]

"XBone" is hilarious, but I can see how MS apologists might find it insulting.

 

[Sojgat]

The fact that Xbone really upsets some people, is exactly what ensures it's continuing ubiquity.

Xbone feeds on your tears. You only make it stronger.

 

[GuardianE]

Ex-Bee-One takes just as long to say as Ex-Box-One.

[theDeeDubs]

Going with XB1 here. While I think XBO is ok, I won't like calling the next console XBT instead of XB2.

It's the only name a console with so many boneheaded decisions behind it deserves.
