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.

Why is the PS4 called the PS4? Because it's the 4th Playstation.
Why is the Xbox One called the Xbox One? Because it's the third Xbox.

Xbone is being called Xbone because they say "DRM!" one day, next no DRM.
Now, we might get xbox360 comparability.
Something we've been asking for since it was announced,

Anything that gets released and is popular is going to get nicknames no matter what.
