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.

Upheavel I think Microsoft will take that name into account and might use it for something
I doubt it, Major Nelson hates the name and he thinks it is disrespectful, but that is not the only thing that would stop it from being used for something, they already named their next console.
