The headline made me think this was about the security 'features' on the original Xbox.

The colloquial naming will probably settle something like this:

2001 console: Xbox, Original Xbox

2005 console: Xbox 360, 360

2013 console: Xbox1, X-bone

You will probably hear "Xbox" referring to the 2013 console in casual speech, but hopefully semi-formal and formal speech, e.g. articles, will distinguish.

> X-bone

That is fantastic. Pronounced like the word "bone" I assume?

Its been all over the net for a few weeks now. XBone is the height of Microsoft Stupidity.

Yes. This is already how many communities are referring to it.

Agreed. I was hoping for a technical reverse engineering article... This is very much the opposite.
