 Very smart of MS, this is one of the best ways to kill a joke about something. Who knows, Xbone might become endearing one day. :o

Huh, I thought for the longest time that that term was referring to something other than a dog bone.

Okay that's what I thought. Personally, I think MS should have just ignored it. Responding to direct insults is playing into the insulter's hand. Dish out great products and supporters will take down your offenders for you.

At first i thought bone was a slang of some sort, but then i realised xb(ox)one. Just a short way of saying its name.

It was never the cool thing to say. It was never clever. It's about as dumb as $ony or M$. Besides, no one ever called it the "XB". The predecessors were either "Xbox" or "360". You might as well call it the XBO.AncientDozer

except that you can't use $ony as a lemming, since the irony would be overwhelming.

It's called Xbone because that's what Microsoft is going to be doing to Sony next gen.

I'm glad MS is embracing it :cool:

Everyone who says we should call it the XONE or XBO doesn't get it. How are you supposed to pronounce that? Sure it can just be called the Xbox even though there's 3 of those now, but calling it the "The One" is stupid. XBONE makes sense because it's an abbreviation, joke, and it rolls off the tip of the tongue a lot better.

If MS is ok with calling it Xbone, then they should have no problem referring to owners of said system as "Xboners".

Well it obviously shows it was effecting them as an insult for them to try and backfire it like that.  They've got the domain name so nobody else claims in order to further mock the XBOX brand and now they're using it themselves to degrade it's effect.  Smart?  Maybe.  But it would of been better if MS would of completely ignored it because now it shows their weakness to petty insults like Xbone.   Therefore the insult XBONE has been an amazing resounding success.

MS could've named it whatever they wanted, so they get to live with the entendre they created.

Xbox One is a stupid name to begin with.  Xbox would have been just fine.

I normally call it the X1, but thanks to you TC and your desperation to have it stopped being called Xbone, I am now whiching what I call it from X1 to Xbone. Does that piss you off TC? The Xbone sucks.
