What should the XBOX ONE's nickname be?

[Jessta]

I like the Xbone the most so far.

I like Xbone, as in X-bone. Dunno why. It's catchy, and easy to say.

WiiU, Xbone, and... PS4, the odd one out.

Dont say that or Sony might decide to change the name of their console to something stupid!

 

[King of Asgaard]

well...

Holy shit, that's amazing. Well done, sir, well done.

OT: I'm going with Xbone, because of bandwagonning and conforming.

 

[DSK-]

Xbone. It just really suits my opinion of it.

 

[Worgen]

It looks like an old vcr so I'm gonna call it the 'beta max'.

 

[TheSteeleStrap]

I'd go with either "XBone" or "Sony's biggest sales booster"

By "odd one out" do you mean the only name that isn't dumb?

 

[perkl]

I'll just keep on calling it "like PC but worse in every meaningful aspect".

 

[HavoK 09]

Xbone, and that it will stick on microsoft's throat for quite a while

 

[Callate]

I think they get to be XBone until they can make a convincing case that releasing it with the emphases and features (and "features") they did wasn't a XBoneheaded decision.

Xbone looked immediately like crossbones to me (because the X is... yeah). But crossbones is too long a nickname.

Sticking with Xbone.

 

[ssgt splatter]

I like "Watercooler"...

What do you mean by that?

You didn't see this?

What? I still don't...OH! HO HO HO HAA HAA HAAAAAA!!!!!! XD I just got it!

 

[ssgt splatter]

I figured 'spying piece of shit' was too much of a mouthfull, so xbone it is.

Wonder if the execs back at M$ are scrambling, or trying to figure out the massive negativity to the xbone reveal.

Xbone forever!

Seriously, it sums the accursed thing up perfectly.

Are you guys, and 99% of everyone else in the world right now, saying this because M$ is trying SO HARD to combine everything into one box when most people, myself included, are just going to use it to game?

I mean, I watched their reveal/tech demo and I did think it was really cool in-of-itself but I'm not going to be using it in that way, I'm just going to play games.

Spybox, because it's watching you.

Nah, Xbone is going to have the win on this. It's all over the place.

You know, there is an easy way to deal with that; when you are not using it, just cover the kinect sensor with a towel or something.

As long as we are on the subject of Kinect, I was really worried when I heard they said it would require the sensor to run and that we'd all have to buy one. That would be the ultimate case of shooting themselves in the foot. But at least they were smart enough to include a sensor in the box.

I guess that explains why the Xbone is over $500.

Captcha: one hit wonder
Sounds about right considering the level of negativity directed toward it.

Does that work, putting a towel over it? I thought the kinect sensor stopped the game if it couldn't see you. Worth finding out, but in the end it won't make me buy one.

I was actually saying it more about the other confirmed stuff, like the semi-online and used games, than the reveal. The social stuff is impressive, but pretty unnecessary. I felt disappointed about the reveal, but it didn't make or break anything for me; the other stuff will.

Pretty much, yeah. But to be fair, I think the gaming industry has lost most of its dignity.
Also, this is their third system. Calling it One is already dumb
