Lol at people saying XBone is "childish" or "offensive"

Every Xbox is abbreviated "XB", whether it be the original, the 360, or the One. Not "X". It's two syllables. Imagine if people were trying to abbreviate the Playstation to just "P". The P1, P2, P3, and P4.....

Anyway, since the 360 and One are successor consoles, we go by how it's stylized, after "XB".

The 360 logo wasn't "Xbox Three Sixty" and the One logo isn't "Xbox 1". It's "Xbox 360" and "Xbox One".

So Xbox 360 --> XB360 and Xbox One --> XBOne. 

People saying it's "childish" are just salty that it just so happens to be funny looking. But hey....I didn't pick the name. I'm just following precedent.

Or, it can just be called "the One" in the way the 360 was called..."the 360". I think if someone refers to "the One", on a video game forum, everyone would understand the context. But I don't see anyone ever doing that......
