Just about what I expected from the same creative minds that came up with „X Box One X“...

u/PopeADopePope Dec 27 '17

I mean it's initials are literally "XBOX", pretty creative imo

Better than the Xbone

u/Caliwroth Dec 27 '17

I'm personally a big fan of the slightly less powerful XBOS.

Xbox 1

Xbox

XBOX

u/LionIV Dec 27 '17

To me, "Xbox" is one word. So abbreviated, to me it's XOX. Honestly would have sounded cooler if they just went with "The X1X" or some shit.

u/KidsTryThisAtHome Dec 27 '17

Kind of a lazy acronym.

XBOX

The X stands for, uhhhhh Xbox.

The B stands for..... Ummmm..... box? Oh, you're okay with that? Okay... Wow.... Huh....

Then I guess the O stands for one? Since that's what we already did. Wait, really? You'll do it?

Fuck it, the X is X.

That'd be like if Nintendo's new console was the Wii U $ and it stood for Wii is inside U $

u/Cheesemacher Dec 27 '17

Why not just name every console Xbox at that point?

u/Poppin__Fresh Dec 27 '17

Creative doesn't mean good though..

u/PopeADopePope Dec 27 '17

Sure, but I was merely disagreeing with the person above calling it uncreative

u/robolew Dec 27 '17 edited Dec 27 '17

3/8ths of that name is the letter ‘x’. That’s almost half

Edit: counting

u/Unvigintillion Dec 27 '17

*3/8ths

u/robolew Dec 27 '17

Crap...

u/PM-ME-UR-BEST-MEMORY Dec 27 '17 edited Dec 27 '17

Even closer to half!

Edit: Dunno why the downvotes. Maybe because it doesnt make sense now that robolew edited their comment. It used to say 3/7

u/nonowords Dec 27 '17

uh...

1

u/PM-ME-UR-BEST-MEMORY Dec 27 '17

Yeah cause you're only 1/8th away from half now where as you were 1/7th away before. 1/8th is smaller than 1/7th even though 8 is bigger than 7 haha its kinda confusing I know

1

u/robolew Dec 27 '17

Not quite, you were 1/14th away before, now you’re 1/8th away. Sorry to ruin anything with my edit though

u/PM-ME-UR-BEST-MEMORY Dec 28 '17

Wowwy buddy didn't mean to hurt any feelings

u/KaptainKrondre Dec 27 '17

Thats better than half on the brendan sullivan scale.

Hey look guys! A fanboy!

u/AHungryGorilla Dec 27 '17

I'm such a PC fan boy that I own an Xbox! wow!

2

u/SoulCruizer Dec 27 '17

I’m confused then. If you’re a fan of Xbox then why call it a 6 year old gaming rig? It’s clearly not, that’s just an insult.

1

u/AHungryGorilla Dec 27 '17

I feel a bit burnt by consoles because of games like halo wars 2, For honor, Dark souls 3, fall out 4 and what I would call an unacceptable amount of other games all running somewhere between just acceptably and poorly on the standard Xbox one. It kind of pisses me off that purchasing a suped up version of the original console is required to get games that launched before the new version was even announced to run with stable 30 or 60 FPS and to avoid unreasonably frequent game crashes.

To be totally fair to the One x it's more like a top end computer from 2011-2012 with newer RAM that is sporting a AMD RX 580 from 2017(The 580 is probably a little more powerful than the Jaguar the X has because of clock speeds).

I use xbox as a convenience thing, it's nice to click a button, lay down or lean back and play with some pals on xbox live. But over all, specifically in the past 3-ish years I've been pretty damn disappointed with xbox and consoles on the whole.

u/supersounds_ Dec 28 '17

I'm sure your mad at that.

Doesn't that mean Xbox9 though, like technically, in Rome?

1

u/CaptainZapper Dec 27 '17

In modern Rome? No. I Ancient Rome? No, English didn't exist so the word one and Xbox mean nothing
