Microsoft buys Xbone.com
We wouldn't say the URL is doing a tremendous amount of positive work for Microsoft, though. Navigating to Xbone.com redirects to a Bing search for the term "Xbone," where the very first entry listed under "Related Searches" is "Xbox One Terrible," as of press time. Whoops!
There's not a whole lot else Microsoft could have done with the domain, however, as having it redirect to anything more official would be like signing off on the term's legitimacy. Under the circumstances, this seems like all the company can do to control the term's usage online.

Dr-JDaw How much did they pay ? And is the site not up. I can't locate it.
Well it states it's not up lol, and probably less than 50k
I wish I made that site haha, you could get rich if you're lucky
If you could figure out how the next console will be named, you'll get alot of money for that domain.
