So i found a 3 letter and 4 letter gamertag that i want to make that has not been claimed yet, can you not make that short of gamertag on the xbox one? do you have to be on xbox 360 to make 3-4 letter gamer tags?

are you sure its not claimed? Seems weird that you wouldn't be allowed to change it, is it offensive in anyway?

Yeah I could just only imagine that all 3 or 4 letter gamertags have been taken by now

I'm not sure if it is still an issue ever since that gamertag reset thing they did a little while back, but I do remember at one point if someone took a name on Zune, you couldn't make an Xbox gamertag with it. Maybe there is a similar reason with it.

It means somebody has the version of the gamertag with spaces in. For example: 'AY' is not available because somebody has 'A Y'.

Or the gamertag has had a forced gamertag change in the past. For example: The gamertag 'W' is unavailable because lots of people reported it in the past when bans were automated
