Xo is dumb.. Xbone is perfect dude bro.. Like bdawg ...

 

[Evolved1]

XBO sounds like a TV channel... I guess it'd be appropriate for MS' direction. In a way it's just as back-handed as Xbone.

 

[Sorc3r3r]

Bone: Osso ma anche uno slang per erezione.

Chiamalo solo "Icsbocsone", vista la misura.

Beh in italiano il nome e' a dir poco perfetto XD

 

[qko]

Please no. XBO makes me think - extra body odor.

And so far everything about this console stinks

 

[ferr]

I like X1, sounds like a stealthy jet fighter or something.

 

[jaypah]

But wouldn't that be confused with the original Xbox?

If I text my homeboy and asked him to come over and play some X1 and he showed up with a Duke controller in 2013 then he doesn't deserve to play.

 

[Arkos]

Are you really going to go to gamestop and ask for a game for "Xbone"? lmfao

I recently worked at a used record/ movie/ video game store and they had a "meow game"-like thing where we'd try to say the word "dongle" as much as possible when selling or talking to a customer about Guitar Hero. Lol

Does the dongle on this one work? Oh so it doesn't have the dongle with it. Can you go grab me a dongle out of the back? Yeah a Guitar Hero dongle. You know, the dongles. Ok. She's just going to grab that dongle for you. Dongle.

 

[JesseZao]

Even if you want XO, that's still referencing XBOne as the Jolly Roger.

Xbox, Bone.

If I had more time I'd make a crossbone logo from the OG Xbox logo.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

it has to get abbreviated to something

at the very least XBO

This. Xbone is too long. It should be 3 letters max a la 360, PS3, PS2, etc. Wii U is even pushing it so sometimes I just call it the U. Xbone is 5 letters, I'm not typing that for the next 10 years.

X1 is probably the best.

 

[Sky Chief]

Sing it with me:

The Kinect bone is (always) connected to the Xbone...
The Xbone is (always) connected to the internet bone...

XD

 

[dragonfart28]

XB1 is fine with me.

 

[PhatSaqs]

why would i do that

Well, you said it was satisfying to say... I'm just imagining anyone who thinks its a slick nickname actually saying it outloud in a serious manner. I think it's hilarious.

 

[Jamie OD]

My brain automatically makes me think "cross bone". It's stupid I know but I can't help it.

Can't we just call it "Xone"?

I agree we should stay away from numbers for ease of typing though.

We should definitly nickname it Cross Bones if it turns out to be easily hacked and pirated at launch.

 

[Theonik]

Xbox Juan is best. Shame people don't use it.

 

[Dion Blaster]

You remind me of apple fans that get annoyed by "iTouch."

 

[fluffydelusions]

Xo is dumb.. Xbone is perfect dude bro.. Like bdawg ...

That's what I'm saying p-bone

 

[Acquiescence]

Xbone fanboys = Xboners?

I can see that catching on.

 

[Chittagong]

 

[Zeth]

It's this gen's equivelant of "Three Shitty"/"Xbots". I find it pretty boring and juvenile, but it's videogames.

 

[joesiv]

To a juvenile 13 year old, maybe

I'm 31 and I still think it's funny, lol...

 

[RedNumberFive]

Sorry OP, Xbone it is. You're going to have to #dealwithit.

 

[def sim]

Well, you said it was satisfying to say... I'm just imagining anyone who thinks its a slick nickname actually saying it outloud in a serious manner. I think it's hilarious.

there are many satisfying words that i would not say or use randomly without context

 

[Sethos]

Eh, beaten.

 

[PopcornMegaphone]

XBone is the new M$

 

[Gorki247]

Xbone is about as funny or clever as M$, Xbot or POS3 ... not at all. But everyone can call it what they want. At the very least it makes it clear where they stand.

 

[izakq]

Sing it with me:

The Kinect bone is (always) connected to the Xbone...
The Xbone is (always) connected to the internet bone...

XD

Gotta go with the classic:

Dun dun dun da dun
Bad to the Xbone
Dun dun dun da dun
Bad to the Xbone

 

[fluffydelusions]

Perfect lol

 

[WrenchNinja]

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

Basically

And no one will say it out in public.

I agree. Xbone is a dumb word and should be used sparingly, if at all.

Xbone really annoys the shit out of me.

Use the proper name, Xbox One.

Just ignore it, it's stupid.

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

Let the 12 year olds have their fun lol.

It really shouldnt bother you tho unless you take it as a knock against your preference. Do you?

No more tears

Only Xbone

 

[Karsticles]

Xbone fanboys = Xboners?

You could also go with:
Xbrones
Xdrones

Or the classic Xbot.

One day someone will come up with a clever play off of Playstation. The only thing I've ever seen catch on is "Sony pony", and that...doesn't make any sense or come from anywhere. Nintendo has its fair share of monikers, though.

Xbone is about as funny or clever as M$, Xbot or POS3 ... not at all. But everyone can call it what they want. At the very least it makes it clear where they stand.

First time I've heard "POS3". That works, but it doesn't refer to fans, just the system.

 

[Pillville]

bone = slang for the male penis

This is why I think people are getting upset. If you only think of bone=penis, then you'll find the name too simple.

bone has a lot of meanings.

bone = what makes up your skeleton

bone = slang for penis

bone = to have sex with ("I boned your mom")

bone = to be screwed ("I deleted term paper, now I'm totally boned")

bone = dollar ("Lend me 20 bones")

bones = Dr. McCoy

 

[Jay Sosa]

X1 is probably the best.

Don't worry.

Xbone is 2 syllables

Think of how fast you can say Xbone in your head. Does that mean nothing to you?

 

[Kafel]

X1

 

[uuaschbaer]

Really? My son may find that funny..

I use XBO, kind of like HBO and easy to say .. rolls off the tongue.

It's funny because it must upset Microsoft's PR department when they're trying to sell this thing to families in America.

 

[Trouble]

Why can't I hold all these Xbones?

 

[rdrr gnr]

I'm dying

Spoiler

to be on #teamxbone

 

[Neuromancer]

Oh she loves me so, she hates to be alone
She don't eat meat but she sures like Xbone

 

[krypt0nian]

Xbone is here to stay

 

[Pie and Beans]

Can someone shop the xbone logo in the back? lol

In true Arrested Development style we already got this classic:

XBONE.

 

[Jackben]

Sing it with me:

The Kinect bone is (always) connected to the Xbone...
The Xbone is (always) connected to the internet bone...

XD

Hahahahaha

 

[Jake Tower]

YES!

 

[flyinpiranha]

It's not funny at all, but I don't really care. People will call it what they want. I still just call it Xbox.

I'm sure it will be driven into the ground like everything else though.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=xbone

Perhaps we could get some more definitions, please?

 

[famousmortimer]

PSone

XBone


And it's not just neogaf. That's what they call it on reddit, in my twitter feed, in my facebook feed, in various smaller gaming forums I go to.

It's the name.

 

[ferr]

These are exciting times

 

[Linkhero1]

I hated it at first but it's okay now. Now, every time someone buys one we can say that they got Xboned

 

[Risette]

It's this gen's equivelant of "Three Shitty"/"Xbots". I find it pretty boring and juvenile, but it's videogames.

No, it's the equivalent of XB360. Like this.

It highlights how deranged and clueless Microsoft's branding for this product is, just like the design philosophy behind it.

 

[scandisk_]

Xboners!

 

[Hot Coldman]

[papercamm]

I think it's funny but I prefer calling it X1
