Since the reveal of Microsoft new console, I've seen the Xbox One abbreviated in many forms. I like some more than others, here's what I've spotted so far:

XB1 - Short and sweet, impossible to misread

XBO - Kinda looks like XBOX missing an X.

XBone/Xbone -  This one I really don't like because I always read it as X-Bone

XBOne - Looks good and reads correctly, maybe a bit long

XOne - Short and not confusing (thanks Deyon)

So what's your abbreviation of choice for Microsoft's new console?



Signature goes here!

Around the Network

Xone

Short and not confusing.



The XBox One is a TV Cable Box type thing apparatus, with gaming features thrown into the mix.

So XBO should be the official abbreviation.

Because it sounds like a TV channel. =P



XBone is the greatest abbreviation for a console ever. Microsoft should milk it. Milk it long and hard.

Doesn't matter as long as people know what you are talking about. I just call it X1




       

I will continue to use XO. I like it.



I call it XBone.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
