#xbone is good for twitter but I think xb1 is best here.



Don't copy random editorials.

XBO is the only correct answer.

PS4 Play Station 4
XBO X Box One (XB1 is wrong because its not XBOX1 but XBOX ONE)
SNES Super Nintendo Entertainment System
GBA Game Boy Advance

Xbone is like
Pstation4 or
SNESystem or
GBAdvance



I switch between x1 and xb1 sporadically.
PS: we already had this thread when xb1 was announced after fans got upset that people were calling it xbone
PPS: I also like xbdone :D



In fact i would say Xbone is the most common name on the web and generally in real life. I dont think anyone uses it to piss off Xbox fans...the whole concept of an Xbox fan is foreign to most (the idea that a person would get offended by the abbreviation of an Xbox One). People say it because its popular and because its fun/funny to say.

Anyone who actually thinks its said to piss off Xbox fans is seriously self-centered and lacks any sense of perspective.

There might be a select few who do so on forums...but certainly not the majority of forum posters or otherwise.

Stephen Fry's quote on being offended comes to mind, how long until it's mandatory law to tell everyone to grow thicker skin again?, I'd love to know so I can prep myself both mentally and physically so that judgement may be altered on both my side and the arbiters who's judgement is apparently perfect./s

Also Xbone seems to be winning on the poll, I wonder when we'll get a poll for Wii U and PS4.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

I'm not really sure what else you could call the Wii U and PS4 other than Wii U and PS4... I suppose the Xbox One's abbreviation is a little bit more ambiguous.

Skipping someones post just because they use the abbreviation "Xbone" seems like a childish thing to do. Why not read the post first?

I think most people have used multiple abbreviations, unlike PS4 there isnt an obvious abbreviation to use. There's been times I've used Xbone, X1 , XB1 or even the one.

To automatically categorize someone based on how they abbreviate a consumer product is being faaaar to sensitive for something that is so trivial.

It's not about sensitivity or being self centered or lacking a perspective, or any other insult you want to throw out as a moderator.

Through experience I know 99% of the time it's used by those that wanna trash the system in some way, history and experience.



 

Funny how a mod can call seece childish and then everybody he disagrees with is self centered and lacks a sense of perspective xD

Stay classy
