Console wars are serious business. :lol Xbot and M$ were terms that became fighting words. And became banned as a result. You already just need to go into threads to see the camps fighting each other. Anything that spreads gasoline onto the fire doesn't have much of a future (which is unfortunate, cause it is a great abbreviation).

Yeah, but xbot is aimed as an ad hominem, xbone is just perfect.

 

[Metal-Geo]

Hell, if things turn out great, you can say that you were XBOwned!

It's incredibly flexible!

That's the XBonus to the name.

 

[Zekra Dezivad]

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.

You've just got Xboned

 

[ZeroCDR]

It reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where George wanted to be called TBone, I highly approve of Xbone.

 

[aristotle]

Complete OP failure. Xbone is never going away as long as I'm a member

Spoiler

unless it becomes bannable

[coldfoot]

Oh -- I was pronouncing it "cross bone".

There will be no skull and crossbones with the always online Xbox
Although hackers might prove me wrong once again, everything eventually gets hacked.

 

[Arkos]

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



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

Oh man I hadn't thought of that, talk about the gift that keeps on giving. I hadn't even thought of the correlation with the dog (CODog: Hello Yes this is dog) until people pointed it out

[Punkster_NY]

it has to get abbreviated to something

at the very least XBO

XBO sounds like you're trying to say ex-boyfriend. lol

 

[Snuggles]

It's what people have gravitated towards, you can't really force it one way or the other. I love it. I'm just gonna call it the 'bone for the next 7 or whatever years.

 

[qko]

Is Xboner the new Xbot?

"That fanboy has a raging xboner for the new Halo 5"

I like it, will use.

 

[-NeoTB1-]

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

Yep. I think the people who are outraged that it sounds like a phallic connotation are the ones who are really juvenile here.

On a somewhat related note, my old alias on message boards and such was TechBone. The Tech represented the school I went to, and the Bone represented the instrument I played. I'm not sure why Bone has to automatically equal OMGSEX to people.

 

[Caboose]

There's no way it's escaping Xbone at this point.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

If XBone turns out to be good and everyone loves it, XBone becomes a cool, positive nickname. It sounds like all the organic words and names from the early 90's.

And of course, if the system fails miserably, XBone is remembered as a negative nickname.

Either way, it's good.

 

[ManUtdRedDevils]

XBone? More like boning your ex tss tss

 

[SniperHunter]

Our lord and saviour has spoken, it is final.

indeed

 

[Arkos]

That's the XBonus to the name.

There's another sex joke in there somewhere

 

[Beermeister]

Xbox One or X1.

 

[Neiteio]

Imagine the trolling opportunities on Youtube!

TROLL #1: "lulz, you're a f@g, go play ur g@ystation 4play"
TROLL #2: "hey man, ur the f@g who luvs xboners"

Next gen is here to advance the human race.

 

[DoubleTap]

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

Kind of, but saying ExBee is easier on the tounge than ExBox. Because of the "ex's" at the end. You kind of have to say it slower for the "ex" to come out, especially in succession.

 

[BolognaSoup]

This guy will be the leading the E3 Xbone press conference.

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

I think you should call it whatever you want and let other people call it whatever they want.

I like Xbone.

 

[Einbroch]

I said it in the other thread, I'll say it here.

Xbone is catchy. You remember it. People who think of it as immature are likely the immature one themselves. Like "Wii" for weewee.

Xbone is a good nickname.

 

[aravuus]

XBone also sound awesome in Spanish: HuesoX

X-luu in Finnish, pretty goddamn sweet actually lol

 

[iNvid02]

im gonna go with xb1, possibly xbone when putting it down

 

[Osiris]

A poll wouldn't go in your favor.

+1 Xbone

 

[fluffydelusions]

Xbone was trending on twitter...you know outside of gaf...it isn't going away.

Team Xbone

BTW, all I think of is this

 

[Jackben]

XBone? More like boning your ex tss tss

*claps*

 

[trmas]

OP is "Boned"... xbone is what people call it on twitter

Yeah, i honestly did not even associated it with "boner" until someone pointed it out.
I thought about it as "cross bone(s)".

 

[kodt]

Xbone, I hope it stays forever.

What are other gaming communities calling it? 4chan, Gamefaqs, reddit, etc...? We must ensure everyone calls it Xbone.

edit:

I see cases of xbone on 4chan, nothing on reddit

 

[Der Flatulator]

"Xbone" officially sanctioned by Microsoft themselves.

Shut down the thread, it's over.

Xbone is fine, but they specifically said not to capitalize the B.

Weewee ain't got shit on Xbone. Xbone is great because, face it, it makes sense, and it's a slight to the console if you want it to be. Because penises lol

 

[Haunted]

XB1
or XOne

I like either one.

 

[Goldmund]

I'm just calling it bone or the bone.

 

[onimushroom]

A positive for Xbone - you can use it in a conversation without triggering the Kinect!

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

Which makes it even better.

 

[dreamcastmaster]

xb360 and now xbone, it's the logical progression non?

OP unwittingly increased the popularity of Xbone.

It's beautiful

I'm with team XBONE. All other short forms are inferior.

You, know, for his bones.

Xbone is the only appropriate name

Keep rubbing your throbbing Xbone.
