Microsoft’s Phil Spencer has come to terms with “Xbone” nickname

4.6
As soon as the Xbox One was announced in May, Twitter exploded with a nickname for it: Xbone. It has stuck in the months since, but Major Nelson didn’t find it to be particularly amusing and wanted it to stop. Phil Spencer, though, realizes “Xbone” will likely stick around, and so he’s just gonna roll with it.

“At first, I guess the thing that bugged me the most is I didn’t see it,” Spencer told GameSpot. “I’d been looking at the name for Xbox One for months, and I wasn’t clever enough to merge them and come up with Xbone.

“I think it’s going to stick. I think we can say we don’t like it as much as we want, but it’s a clever use of the name. Probably not the most flattering name, but I think it’s going to be there.”

Ok let's be honest everyone, maybe like a little poll(btw me and pawnstars are friends now) do you think the gen after ps4 and x1 will have the entertainment features if its successful with x1?
No arguing just pure opinions.

Pashtun The xbone is an insult. People made it up because they were not happy with m$'s product. I call it the Xbox dOne.


Ha.... not funny,
it will never be done considering in the future people will want entertainment too. Not just gaming like an N64 oh i meant ps4


So basically you are saying that the "gaming" industry will either evolve into the "entertainment" industry and if not it will die out? We will see about that, glad YOU know what people will want in the future Psychic-J

You posted the same exact thing on another post which I answered...
You're so original

And im saying lm saying all next gens (after ps4 and x1 since Sony takes a while to catch on) will have the features


Sorry I don't go and look back at every stupid comment you make after I respond to the nonsense you spew, I mean you are someone petty enough to go through someones archive and down vote a handful of their comments...

I downforce archived comments? Really? Any proof of this? If you mean that one thread in the ps4 forum that isn't close to archived, I dislike the comments of absolute stupidity. So please PM me


*downvote(stupid ipad). But in all seriousness you made absolutely no sense on your other comment(on the other thread) if you think consoles will only have games on them in the future you obviously don't like to think to much
