Microsoft’s Phil Spencer has come to terms with “Xbone” nickname
“At first, I guess the thing that bugged me the most is I didn’t see it,” Spencer told GameSpot. “I’d been looking at the name for Xbox One for months, and I wasn’t clever enough to merge them and come up with Xbone.
“I think it’s going to stick. I think we can say we don’t like it as much as we want, but it’s a clever use of the name. Probably not the most flattering name, but I think it’s going to be there.”

Ted- Don't understand why they would be so angry about this nickname originally, it sounds so catchy
Well if you knew the reason behind the nickname originally you would know why they didn't like it lol

I honestly do not like the name "Xbone" I don't find anything catchy about it I would rather call it by its full name or something like "Xone".

The nickname "Xbone" came from some PS4 fanboys who said that whoever buys the Xbox One is Microsofts "Dog," and that the X1 is a dog bone. Hence the name "Xbone".

-Amplify I'm not really a fan of it. I mean why can't people just call it what it's actual name is?
Laziness is the only thing i can think of, Xbone doesn't sound very good in my opinion
KatsumiPosted:
Shen I don't like it. But I'm not verbally lazy so I will call it the Xbox One :b
It's the same with me. I've never called the Xbox One the Xbone

XBONE = XB = always stands for Xbox and one is obvious.
I think it's a good nickname
