So I [i]literally[/i] argued with some friends on whether or not Xbone was a fine abbreviation for Xbox One. They [u]all[/u] said it was dumb. I'm interested to see what you guys think.

Xb360 Xbone Xbone-r is supposed to be an insult to players with an xbox one, similar to to sony pony.
-
It's xbone because Microsoft tried to f[b]u[/b]ck their customers with it at release. It's gotten better since then though at least.

Xbone... as in Xboner.... as in an insult to Xbox One? Why even xbox users call it something so stupid is beyond me.
-
There's a dick joke there. Tell 'em.

10 RepliesThat'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.

1 ReplyDepends. In text form, Xbone seems just fine... But verbally? No. I don't ever say "lol" or "rofl" verbally... That is just weird.
-
I've nearly always referred to it as the "X1" in both spoken conversations and typed ones.
-
I call my Xbox the Xbone all the time.
-
Don't say Xbone IRL You'll look like a fob.. Say it on the internet. As many times as you want.
-
I mean saying "Xbone" is different than typing "Xbone". I never have actually said "xbone" but i type it out all the time.
-
I say XB1...

The X-bone! Lol
-
Terrible abbreviation. Xb1.
-
It sounds kinda like an insult. Perception is reality. Just because it ISN'T an insult, doesn't mean that it isn't TAKEN as one.
-
Microsoft don't like the name. So that's a good reason to use it! lol
-
We like to bone things so I'm fine with it.
-
I never thought of it as xb-one. I don't like it because I think of x-bone

If I'm typing, I use xbone, but talking I just say the one (if it's with people my age) or Xbox (with people who really don't know enough of a difference between console names)
-
It's ok to own an xbox and call it the xbone. Sometimes I call my PS4 the piss 4, because the faster you say 'PS4' it begins to sound like that. Meh
