Xbonx: The reasonable way to address a poorly named console!

Okay so hear me out. When microsoft first got into the console game, they came up with a name that would eventually come to be recognized as a household name all around the world, the "Xbox". Since then, it seems like they have had no idea what to do about the names.

The next generation the decided to go against the norm and make up a new name, the "Xbox 360". Again, a name that everyone knew and was widely recognized. Since there was no need to say such a long name, many started referencing it as the "360". Short, simple and to the point. And for years people took a shot at what the next generation would bring cough xbox 720 cough.

AND THEN WE GOT... The "Xbox One". They can give whatever story about where the name came from but it still didnt really make sense since it was, well, the third xbox. It's fine, they can do what they want but in return, we can too! So the shorthand version came into existence, the "Xbone"! For most purposes, the only way I have ever referenced the console since before it was even released personally. It was a natural progression that was widely adopted.

And now we come to the next generation. If they kept doing what they were doing from the beginning this would be the "Xbox 1080"! A solid name, although ironically able to output 8k. Or if they followed through on their last naming convention, we would have the "Xbox Two". It would have been a little confusing at first but it would have made sense too. But no. Instead we now have the "Xbox One Series X". Its fine, they can do them but it's such a long name.

So here is what I propose, we shorten the name again to make it roll off the tounge. I propose the "X[box] ONE [series] X" or otherwise known as the "XBONX"! It rolls off the tounge nicely, is short to say and differentiates it from the other consoles in the series in name that people know what you are talking about. I think it's perfect and will be addressing it as such from here on out personally!

TLDR; Every xbox has had a shortened name after the original, it goes "Xbox", "360" then "Xbone". I propose the new shortened name for the xbox one series x of "Xbonx" to more easily differentiate this newest console!
