mwc Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I want to know how people are going to call the different Xboxs in conversation and writing.... Just to be clear, the official names are (and year released/announcements) Xbox (2001) Xbox 360 (2005) Xbox One (2013) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctrl_alt_delete Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 1. Original Xbox or Xbox original 2. Xbox 360 or just 360 3. Xbox one or new Xbox or just Xbox. I don't think that's so hard. People are just trying to make a mountain out of a mold hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George P Global Moderator Posted May 23, 2013 Global Moderator Share Posted May 23, 2013 If you really want a nickname then I'd say X1 is probably what it'll end up being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phouchg Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Xbox 360 The New Xbox (ok, iPad pun will wear off quickly. Or rather - it already has/was never funny in the first place) Agreed, X1 will probably take the spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phouchg Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Oh boy, they've made up rules for that, too. What next - they?e going to ban people from Live for using the wrong nomenclature? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OOOOOOOO Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Original Xbox 360 Xbox One. That's how I refer to them. Oh boy, they've made up rules for that, too. What next - they?e going to ban people from Live for using the wrong nomenclature? :D This is clearly a brand guide. Every company has one and it's an important thing to have. We have one at Hailo. It's the difference between your company and partners making you look professional or not. xendrome 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGHammer Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Xbox (the original), XB360, and now XB ONE (the space in the last to discourage waggasauri). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiB3R Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Was thinking about this myself, or rather, how the majority will end up abbreviating Xbox One, because people love to shorten stuff, especially with things like text messages, twitter, etc. X.O X.BO X.B.O Xbox.O X.B.One X.One X.1 Dots are just to show pronunciation, so... XO XBO XboxO XBOne XOne X1 I'm thinking XBO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeChipshop Member Posted May 23, 2013 Member Share Posted May 23, 2013 Oh boy, they've made up rules for that, too. What next - they?e going to ban people from Live for using the wrong nomenclature? :D All branding comes with guidelines, it's not a MS exclusive. Personally for me it'll be... Original Xbox = i wont bother talking about, nothing left to say. Xbox 360 = 360 Xbox One = Xbox (and then answer the inevitable questions of 'which one?' etc etc) The truth is it'll take a while before it settles down in to having a user driven nickname.

jerzdawg Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 no one talks about the original xbox anymore so I am just going to call it xbox, gamers or people with common sense will should realize that when I say I am playing the new cod on xbox its not the one with the giant controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
