What should the XBOX ONE's nickname be?

[DavidBowieNoReally]

I'm going with Xbone.

For one, it embodies it well... plus, there's a derogatory nature behind it which I like.

 

[Atmos Duality]

"Xbone" is perfect. I'm sticking with it.
Because it appears the system is primed and ready to bone anyone who buys it.

 

[kypsilon]

Spybox, because it's watching you.

Nah, Xbone is going to have the win on this. It's all over the place.

 

[Gatx]

Another one for Xbone. Not only hilarious but also surprisingly legitimate as someone had pointed out.

Xbox One = XB One = Xbone.

 

[GundamSentinel]

Thank you, Jim. I'll keep calling it the Xbox 1 out of 10.

Xbone? I'm not feeling it.

I swear if the "Xbone" moniker sticks I think I'm done with the gaming community for this generation. It sounds insanely stupid, just slap on XB1 or something like that and move on. It's almost as bad as the period where people took up ZeroPunctuation's moniker of calling modern military fps games as 'spunkgarggleweewee'. Also consoles don't need "nicknames" they just need shorthands.
Xbox 360 is just the 360, Playstation 3 is just PS3. Those aren't nicknames and we really shouldn't start using nicknames for consoles.

I like the idea of typing Xbone, but it doesn't really have a nice ring to it when said out loud.
"The One" sounds incredibly stupid, beyond belief almost. So maybe just Xbox.

Hate to break it to you,

its the xbone now.

People who own it will forever be known as xboners (or fanboners)

Enjoy.

It's "Xbone" 8) expression coined by Johnathan Grey Carter

I like "Watercooler"...

Spoiler

I'm Team Xbone, but I do like this. Honestly, this new console looks like a vaguely design-friendly air humidifier. That's probably the only thing this bloated atrocity doesn't do yet.

"Xbox, adjust moisture content in room to .20%"

At least that would make the console a hit with the asthma-suffering crowd during the dry winter months.

 

[go-10]

well...

 

[Mr. Omega]

XB1 has been what I've been going with for formal purposes. But I do love "Xbone". I don't know where it started, but it spread like wildfire and has been used in just about every gaming site I go to. And it just fits so goddamn well.

XO sounds good but I prefer XBone. It is the XBox One after all...all you're doing is taking out an X and an O...I guess that's where the X and O went! To form another good name for the new...media device. I'm fine with calling the Xbox One the XO, XBone, NeXtBoX, etc but I'm not going to call the thing a games console.

I was thinking XOne, pronounced "zone."

That sounds cool but it makes me think of Final Fantasy VI (XOne, Zone, X-Zone) which is something I could never play on a Microsoft console.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

I thought "Xone" at first, but Xbone is too enticing.

 

[neppakyo]

I figured 'spying piece of shit' was too much of a mouthfull, so xbone it is.

Wonder if the execs back at M$ are scrambling, or trying to figure out the massive negativity to the xbone reveal.

Undying Fountain of Sadness and False Hope.

Wait...guess a nickname should be shorter...

 

[munx13]

Xbone, as in x-bone.


Memorable and easy to pronounce.

 

[Legion]

I am going for XBone. It's juvenile, but then again so is the real name. The only difference is that XBone is supposed to sound a bit stupid.
