Top Microsoft Exec Says 'Xbone' Nickname Didn't Even Occur To Him

A couple of weeks ago, Microsoft’s Larry Hyrb also weighed in on the nickname, saying, “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.” Whether or not Microsoft likes it, the nickname is sticking around.
