Forums - Microsoft - Should I just embrace the term ‘Xbone?’

sounds ok, I read it as x-bone. I guess a more regular way would be xb-one(sounds awkward though)



Around the Network

I still don't like it. I always read it as X-bone too. I try to use XBOne.



Signature goes here!

XBO would work.

what about XBUno
me gusto!



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

sounds like p0rn. I think XBO, or XB1 are better.



XBO, brilliant, it's final.



Around the Network

I'll never use it. I would feel silly and childish, like a kid using dirty words just because they can. It has a very Beavis & Butthead vibe. Besides, it's too long. Might as well type xbox one as type xbone.

XO or X1 is fine with me.



I never saw X-Bone as a negative, I'll probably use it along with X1, XB1, The One and Xbox. I think my X-bone brethren are letting this place make them a little too sensitive.

“Let me give you some advice, bastard: Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you.”

I think the Imp would approve of X-Bone...and that's good enough for me :)



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

Really, XBO? As in body odor?...yeah brilliant ha ha.

when I see it written down it completely depends on if the B is capitalized or not, if it's XBone or Xbone the first one I read like it's actual name, the second as Ex-Bone but yeah regardless of how it's wrote or read, it's a horrible name for the new system.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Agreed. Embrace the Xbone. Feel it's big, warm embrace.

It's a humorous nickname and it fits well - it's not going away.
