I hereby put out a formal request to this VGC community. I delcare that effective immediately and without prejudice, we as a unified community of gaming lords and ladies henceforth agree on a single name or acronym for usage in regards to the "Xbox One" platform.

Xbox One is the formal name and that shall never be used in any forum due to the uneccesary hardships this presents on the typer. However, as of this time there is no single mannerism by which the community shortens Xbox One into a simplified and meaningful way.

Some use Xbone but that is seen as offensive to the few.

Some use X1, however that is simply stupid as that format should be solely to refer to the original Xbox.

I would like to suggest, nay, declare that the one an only shortenend name that is not only unique to the Xbox One, has relationship to previous names, and is absolutely perfect in its singular definition is the "180" or X180.

It contains the X1 reference to the actual name.
It has direct reference to its predecessor the X360 in obvious terms of degrees.
It has a strong relationship to the multitude of reversals Microsoft has taken from DRM, 100% digital, digital sharing, and now Kinect.

This is not a troll thread. This is a serious question. Xbone is not liked but accepted, X1 is stupid, so X180 makes the most sense. After all we called it the X720 on the same logic for quite some time. I think X180 makes sense at this point.

YAY! or nay

EDIT: After a day of voting... YAYs have it!

I like x1 cause its easy and quick to type... I don't like xbone cause it sounds retarded and again, x1 is shorter... and I also don't like x180 cause again, x1 is shorter and x180 sounds almost offensive

Its all about convience for me and x1 is faster to type than anything suggested so far

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I liked Durango the best :(
