Forums - Microsoft - Why are you offended when people call the Xbox One XBONE?

Well, I never call it XBone. I think 95% of time I say/write "One" and the rest just X1.

xbone - X- Box One

Piss4 = Playstation Is Super Super 4 ?

They're not even remotely close. Calling someone "xbot" or calling it a "shooterbox" should get someone banned. Xbone is the first two intitials and the last word.

What kind of logic is this? I think that ban was well deserved. Why do you assume the people who reported you were fanboys? You were clearly breaking the rules. Saying Xbone does not.



When you create a console with services (aside from gaming) almost exclusively geared to the US market, with DRM so constraining that people jump sides even with a complete reversal of those policies and then have PR spinning as much as they can in regards to the innards of said console and its performance, it's expected that people will come up with a derogatory term to describe it and enjoy using it as such.

I fail to understand the surprise at the insistence of its use, unless you're in denial at how badly damaging everything related to XB1 has been to the Xbox brand.



I am not offended by anyone using it. It just shows their own immaturity and how their own self esteem is tied to whether their favourite console is successful or not.

I think only actual Xbox diehards can use it. Just like only Blacks can say the "N" word.

the obvious difference is that "xbone" is an actual abbreviation of xbox one - xb has been used to abbreviate xbox for ages, even this site used it

"piss4" is not an abbreviation for playstation 4, even if you write it plss4 (with the l looking very much like the capital i) you end up with an additional s

oh pls, it's ridiculously insultive towards "african americans" to suggest that these situations are anywhere near comparable

Are you trying to defend a ban for that? like suggesting because you prounouce P S 4 as something similar to the word you wrote that is going to be taken well on here?

If this was the case there is a forum rule here against using Text speak. Since naturally a predicive text will not know the word ps4



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