Major Nelson thinks 'Xbone' nickname is disrespectful

4.7
Xbox One's 'Xbone' nickname hasn't gone down too well with Microsoft's Larry Hryb (aka Major Nelson), who believes that the name "disrespects" the effort made by the Xbox team back at Redmond.

"I don't like it," Hryb replied when asked on NeoGAF what he thought of the nickname.

"It disrespects the teams that have put in thousands of hours (already) into the development of the product. Sure, it's cheeky but I don't care for it myself."

Gamers branded the upcoming console the Xbone shortly after its reveal back in May.

And it appears to have hit the mainstream, too. Snoop Lion referred to the console as the "Xbone" during a Reddit AMA last week.

Some have since renamed the console the Xbox One-Eighty, following Microsoft's multiple U-turns.

Xbox One launches on November 22.

I see how it's disrespectful but you should already know that the internet is going to make fun of it. They make fun of everything. It's not the nicest place so just move past it.

DavidDo0M It's only Sony fanboys calling the Xbox One the "Xbone." Others Xbox fans usually call it the "XBO" and some, myself included, still refer to it as the X1.


Yeah, cause Snoop Lion's a Sony fanboy /s

Oh, and the X1 refers to the original Xbox 1.


I call the original Xbox..... "Xbox"
Just like I call Xbox One.... "Xbox One"

Guys it's his opinion no need to disrespect that. He simply said towards the middle of the article that he does not really care for it.
