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?


what's in a freaking name huh lol.... microsoft really wasn't think at all on how people will  flip the name. 

xbone = crossbones = doa

XB1 Kenobi is the winner

All are wrong.

The best going around the internet at the moment is

The One.

Sounds extra cool and top of its game.

XONE is the most consistent.
The first XBOX was simply XBOX.
The second XBOX was simply X360.
Calling the XBOX One XBONE is one letter too many and many would pronounce is X-BONE.

It does sound cool but according to Carl's picture, Microsoft doesn't want the Xbox One to be refered to as "One".



Signature goes here!
