PSA: Please stop calling Xbox One 'Xbone'

[DrunkenSano]

Duh-ri enjoys getting xboned by M$. And yes, it's called Xbone.

 

[soulcougher73]

You are all going to be Xboned for buying one that is for sure.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

sounds like you keep great company

 

[Red Storm]

Why isn't it just typed as XB1?

 

[purbeast0]

why is this in off topic? this should be in console forum.

oh and it's x1 damnit!

 

[Sluggo]

That term takes me back to my college days when young, immature guys used to blatantly lie to each other about 'boning' this girl or that girl and how the girls would scream like monkeys and crawl up the wall. Or the time when, in the company of jocks, someone would suddenly yell for no reason, as if to get everyone motivated.

No, it's not. That doesn't even being to roll off the tongue when said, it's the XBone.

 

[MontyAC]

I like to call it Xowned.

 

[ImpulsE69]

I just call it the Anti-Freedom Box otherwise known as Notgunnabuyitbox.

 

[SlitheryDee]

That horse has left the barn already. When I see Xbox One printed, my mind actually reads it as "Xbone". Can't stop it now.

 

[Schfifty Five]

This.

XB1 is easier/quicker to type.

However, if speaking, "XBone" is faster since it has 1 less syllable to say than "X-B-1"

I like this.

NSABox?

 

[Golgatha]

This. XBone is just more fun to type probably.

 

[Golgatha]

NSABox?

Let's just call it Telescreen and be done with it.

 

[rh71]

XB-three (or some variation of this) would make sense to me.

This is the third XBox.

exactly... wtf am I supposed to call my original xbox now? Yes it's still in use here.

Stupid naming conventions like Apple. Let's just call everything an Ipod, but make people do this: (4th generation).

Numerical order, or whatever year it was released. That doesn't fail.

I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.



All of you will buy it. You will. Unless there's some magical shift in game makers to the Sony variant, you all will buy it.

...and why hasn't this thread been moved?

incorrect. i was never going to buy it regardless of the news of the last few days.

never had any xbox, not going to get this one either.

 

[Nintendesert]

MS had to know it would be shortened to XBone.

X Box One just perfectly fits together to form XBone. Why fight what the MS geniuses in marketing undoubtedly came up with? It's not like anyone buying the XBone is fighting any of the other shit they're pouring down your throat.

SOMEONE in there did...but I'm guessing it wasn't anyone who actually had the say on naming.

 

[Slew Foot]

youve been xboned

"Maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events but we just got our asses kicked pal!"

"Game over man, game over."

I'm a little curious why they chose it with the XBoned jokes.


I really think MS lost their minds on this one overall.

 

[akahoovy]

Never gonna own a console that requires an always on connection. The Kinect v2 thing is way too creepy as well.

 

[Vdubchaos]

I really hope Xbox thing fails and consoles go away all together.......I know it's not going to happen, but wishful thinking.
