Forums - Microsoft - The VGChartz Xbox One abbreviation consensus thread.

 

Xbox One abbreviated as:

Xbone 145 39.51%
 
X1 63 17.17%
 
XBO 54 14.71%
 
XO 6 1.63%
 
XB1 64 17.44%
 
Xone 14 3.81%
 
XBOne 20 5.45%
 
Total:366

I wanted to know what the majority feels is an appropriate abbreviation for the Xbox One.  I see all sorts of abbreviations, some which remind people of alternative products or are derogatory.  I want to know which one we like, that we can use as the standard for the VGChartz.

Here is how I view the abbreviations:

Xbone: Seems to have stuck as the official abbreviation, but I don't like it because it's derogatory and offends people
X1: The high end cable box marketed by Comcast, in a Comcast area [which will include Time Warner] X1 means a cable box
XBO: This is the one I like most, though it looks like a typo for either Xbox/HBO
XO: Seriously...hugs and kisses, really?
XB1: Reminds me of referring to the original Xbox and not the one
Xone: Makes sense, sounds like zone.  Might sound to close to Zune
XBOne: Long and hasn't caught on

XBO.



XB1 for me.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Around the Network

Xbone: Never really used by real fans or people that are unbiased about the system, can pretty much skip anyones post that uses it.
X1: Just seems lazy to me.
XBO: I like it. Reminds me of HBO as well.
XO: Never seen this, looks stupid.
XB1: The one I used, makes most sense and easy to tell.
Xone: No comment.
XBOne: Never see this.



 

I use X1 not for cable box. It's the best because it's the shortest. I don't like XBO because that's Xbox Original for me.

Xbone is mostly used to mock the system, at least you can't be sure with this one.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I vote for Xboned! Sounds fitting!

XOne... it's so bad that it's good. :p

Or xoxo. xD



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

XBO. I always wondered if Xbone was supposed to sound similiar to "expwn" (expo pwn, because they got destroyed by Sony at E3 2013). Is this what it actually is supposed to reference?
