Some braindead MBA had to justify his salary somehow, I guess.

I will now pronounce it as ex-bo-ex

Don't yell please!

Better than their runner-up choice which was probably Microsoft XCopilot OneBox Pro.

I rolled my eyes so hard they went into my skull

Microslop just can't name things, I've accepted that, but now they managed to look stupid even while technically leaving the old name

Asha Sharma, Xbox CEO, ran a poll on X earlier this week, asking fans whether Microsoft should use Xbox or XBOX. The results were in favor of XBOX,

Bold move asking for branding advice from that platform specifically

CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR AWESOME COOL.

XBOXY MC BOXFACE was already taken?

Wow, I haven't read that sentence in a long time...

Those maniacs finally did it!

Kiss bo kiss

Where does it come from?

They probably only had an Mba.

Or XCox for short.

Wait, i thought it was XBOX. Did it used to be or something?

"Well sure!"

"But I couldn't before!"

The use of all caps for Xbox is a return to original form, though. Microsoft’s first Xbox logo for its console was all caps, and the company has favored using similar capped versions for the Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X / S console logos.

Ex-Be-Oh-Ex

And then most style guides (and human beings) will just change it back. Like they already do with "Game Freak" and others. 🤷‍♂️

The 2000s, haha. Actually, now that I recall, @evidences@lemmy.world, it's AWESOME "COOL."

BUT CLOSE ENOUGH.

XLOP

Is This real?

Big if true.

Wasn't that a bit on bash.org?
Apologies, I mean
WASNT THAT A BIT ON BASH.ORG?

Commenters read the article challenge:
Impossible

xXx_BO_xXx

MSlop has a long history of poor names for things, so sure. Whatever...

Cruise Control for COOL. Not Awesome. The alliteration is the point.

And it now reads as XSLOP.

Great, now every time I say XBOX, I have to shout it

Its bad that the trademark and branded logos match again?

I don't know where it comes from, but I first saw it on bash.org, now defunct.

The brand is saved!

This play has everything

just give me my verification cans already

bash.org, now defunct.

The funny part is that upon reading your question, I figured surely the Wikipedia page would have that information. Then I saw that it said in the first few words:

Xbox (stylized as XBOX)^[2]^

...which links back to the same article. Which is how I found out that the article answers your question. 🙃

Yeah, there are several repositories that seek to replicate it, but at least last time I looked they're not particularly searchable. Another lemming did demonstrate that you can download the data and grep through it but I haven't been motivated to do so yet.

TIL that Xbox is case-sensitive

Hahahaha that's hilarious 😂

pour one out for a real homie

FUCK

groundbreaking

Pronounced "shlop" in China, perfect!

why not Xbox Series One U
