Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft has Bought Xbone.com

Of course it's disrespectful. That's the whole point. You name your console something as stupid as that and you deserve to get that sort of disrespect.

This matters why? Why do we care what he thinks is a respectful nickname for the new system? I don't think it's bad anyway, but whatever.

IGN paraphrased, they didn't quote.  MN said Xbone was disrespectful to the people working on the console. 

"Bone" in US slang has a dual connotation.  1) to fuck something  2) get cheated out of something.

1.  I boned this chick last night behind the bar.

2.  That asshole boned me on the used car I bought from him. 

It's also generally an incorrect acronym.

Xbox is one word, not two.  Therefore Xbox One is two words.  XO would be correct, or X1 would be correct, but XBOne, XbOne, or xbone would not be.  However, out of those three, XbOne is the most correct.

M$ came up with the name.  Now, they have to live with what comes from it.  It is extremely common to short hand everything with texting and twitter nowadays.  So, XB = XBOX and one=one.  So xbone/XBone/XB1(my favorite) or whatever is expected or should be expected.  I don't really think it came from people being mad at M$, I think that came later from the haters.   M$ screwed up their messaging and now their brand is damaged by the backlash.  I plan to get one.  I know the nickname might upset some of the people involved, but the more people from M$ talk about it, the worse the haters will push it.  Just like the specs thing that M$ just won't quit talking about.

Xboner is still an option


lmfao

Sounds like a porn site where a guy bones  ex girlfriends in front of the previous boyfriends

On topic, it seems like a counter measure to stop some dude from making a trolling site for Xbox one



I guess Xbone is the official nickname of the Xbox One.
Amazing nickname I absolutely love the kinnection.



Seeing how neogaf kids suddenly said "i never mean it to be disrespectful" right now but back in time they keep using this name to shit on MS
Yeah,it's disrespectful,record are there,refuse to admin it doesn't help anything

It's not disrespectful but whatever.

I call it the XBONE just cause it sounds good. Also here in Colorado no one ever uses bone to mean anything but a real bone so I don't even think of it in a sex way.

xbone would have never existed if the reveal of their system wasn't so disrespectful to consumers. as Adinnieken stated above me "bone" has a specific connotation of "getting fucked" which is how most every xbox fan felt after the reveal.

sorry larry but it's the truth of the matter.

 

edit: i wonder what he thinks about xbox 180..

  xbox180 in terms of "getting fucked" is another disrespectful thing as it implies that the console has changed its sexual preference from straight to gay.



XBOne is quicker to write than XBox One and funny. And obviously, if anyone uses it with disrespect, most of the times it isn't against its hard working developers, but against MS execs that decided the original policies successively reversed. But most of the times it isn't true disrespect, just a mild way to poke fun at touchy MS people like Major Nelson, so those using it this way will warmly thank him for notifying them they hit the target.

I tried to you X1 but no one else did, partly because its confusing as its not the first xbox. Xbone became the term in use. It just is the way it is.



Sorry Major you are not oftern right but you are wrong again.

I think it disrepectful  to its OWN EMPLOYEES that Microsoft did not propertly think through its new name and how people may abuse it.

 

XBONE is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT FOR THE PUBLIC TO TAKE THE MICHEAL OUT OF THE PRODUCT NAME.

 

Get over it you failed again
