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.

-Ben- Wait? I thought they didn't like the name Xbone?
Why are they going and buying its domain?
Makes no sense to me?
So nobody else makes a website called "Xbone.com"

They first say, they think the name "Xbone" is a disrespectful name for the Xbox One, then they go and buy a domain name Xbox com! What?
Dr-JPosted:
They bought it because they realize the name will never go away and they want to own something related to their console.

TheDivision I really don't understand why they purchased it.

If its just a redirect, I don't know why I should really care that they bought it in the first place.
