A WHOIS search reveals that the domain is owned by Microsoft. Currently nothing is hosted there - it redirects to a Bing search for 'Xbone' - but presumably Microsoft has bought it to prevent anybody else from using it.
On NeoGAF earlier this week, Major Nelson called the Xbone moniker disrespectful. "I don't like it...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," he wrote.
:rofl Microsoft, you gotta have thicker skin, breh. :rofl

Imagine if Nintendo got defensive every time somebody complained about them on the Internet. They'd never release another piece of hardware or software again. :sabu

Haha
what a bunch of losers
-
well, now it's an official MS affiliated term, it can't possibly be construed as trolling.

You probably won't see much hardware from them in the future anyway.

today I learned that forum people are offended by the use of "xbone"
MODS HELP
-
So did they buy the domain from some clever dude, or was it available?
-
You know I used to hate Major Nelson, but the guys a trooper. Imagine coming into work everyday and having to say things like:
"I don't like it...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,"
For months on end.
-
Uh if I was on Major Nelson's salary, I could easily do all the shit he does and more. I already shill for MS, FOR FREE
-
Well that doesn't mean Major Nelson's job doesn't suck, it means Sceneman is dumb.

:lol touche

Major Nelson these days just sounds tired. He's entering day 10,000 of the Groundhog Day that is his professional life.

American in lack sense of humour and ability to laugh at themself shocker

it's going to be a sad day when they try and make it their own. like Sony people using "year of the ps3" or virtually anything about Reggie.

Meanwhile Nintendo still can't get the rights to wiiu.com

In a surprise twist, Schillman.com is an available domain.

They filed a complaint and was hoping to get it for free. (http://kotaku.com/nintendo-loses-appeal-to-take-control-of-wiiu-com-625353775)
