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.

Well, I guess he's entitled to his opinion but seriously, I don't think it's disrespecting the teams working on it.

Dr-JJPEG Xbone :D Why would you think that is disrespectful? It's just funny.
Major nelson has a weird mindset. He thinks people are trying to be disrespectful but it's really just easier to say
He shouldn't get bothered over a nickname to be honest.

R2-D2 It's appropriate from the WTF introduction/reveal and that restriction DRM u-turn.
I fail to see how doing a "180" is such a bad thing, surely it shows they value the customer feedback and change the product to cater for the majority of customers. Furthermore it showed how unwilling people's minds are to innovation and how everyone is naive to want less innovative improvements such as obvious hardware specs. I haven't seen an article in months (if at all) explaining to everyone the cloud based power and that for every one xbone there is 10 on the cloud... Always online is inevitably the next step just consumers are too thick/ poor to support it.

Maybe they should have called it the Xbox 720 then.. They didn't got to that much effort just to call it the Xbox One... :-/
