Major Nelson thinks 'Xbone' nickname is disrespectful
"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.

Of course. It is an insult created by gamers to teh Xbox One because of Microsoft milking their gamers. I will always call it the Xbone and I will never buy a Micorsoft product again except windows. I jumped ship from Xbox 360 to PS4.

I somewhat agree. It's a pretty ugly name and sounds disrespectful since X-bone makes it seem like nothing is there. I just don't think it is as big of a deal as he made it seem. Internet people will always be internet people. Maybe I'm just used to it. Sad really.

DuhTigersBloodBrandownage27TheDivision I personally think the nickname is retarded and should go away.
In that case... the console should go away too because that's just as retarded if not more.
