That's is a dumb abbreviation. It's incorrectly abbreviating Xbox as XB when that makes no sense as that's just half the word and then the full word One. That makes no sense. A proper name for it would have to be XO, an abbreviation of the first letter of both words or One the way the Xbox 360 was cut down to 360.

    Xbox is two parts but Microsoft left the hyphen off for branding purposes. How would you even say it if it was a single word? It's originally DirectX box (a reference to the MS API) So Xb is correct, and xb1 and xbone also correct. I just use xbone as its how I originally saw it (plus it means I don't have to switch to the number section on my phone and back again, which is tedious)

    No even with that logic then Xbone is incorrect. It would have to be XBO because if you cut box down to just the B you can't leave all of the word One. Just call it the XO or XBO because Xbone is stupid and illogical.

Except by this point it's strange because I've never seen anyone in the history of the machine call it that. Xbone is known. That's how language works. Not really a big deal.

  • Xbone is used because it spells bone and most male gamers get a giggle out of it because they haven't grown up.

  • Actually yes, that's exactly why. It's also why PS users use it because they see it as an insulting name.
