Why would anyone call it Ess En Ee Ess? You don't say En Ay Ess Ay.
When someone refers to it as "SeX"

Why would anyone call it Ess En Ee Ess? You don't say En Ay Ess Ay.
I'm not answering the poll as I've never had the displeasure of hearing someone say that except as a joke when the name was first revealed
I don't think I'll ever hear anyone say this irl, so I genuinely don't care.
Just like xbone and pisspoor.
Basically this. Try saying "XSX" five times fast. It's a difficult to pronounce, bad name. Like every Xbox other than the original.
Try giving a non-gamer a list of Xbox consoles and ask them which one is the newest.
I've always just called them The Xbox, 360 and The One, but I actually like the series abbreviations and look forward to using XSX & XSS when discussing consoles this generation.
Lmao at people who are outright insulted or cringe at it. It's the silliest fucking joke just like the "360 and walk away" line.
I'm surprised there hasn't been much "concern" about the XSS and how, if you try really really hard, it might be sorta kinda close to sounding like the Nazi SS.
I've never heard anyone do this, but I'm not someone that needs to physically recoil anytime they don't like something.
It just reminds me I'm on a forum full of children.
Which makes me worry about the amount of time I spend here :o

This isn't Xbox's first rodeo when it comes to sexually-charged console nicknames derived from the console's terrible name (ie. Xbox One -> Xbone). And it survived just fine.
All this discussion trying to shame people from making fun of Xbox Series X (ie. XSeX) is only doing a Streisand effect on how bad the next-gen Xbox branding really is.

Because plenty of acronyms are spelled out when said, such as NAACP, FBI, etc.
A quick look and Xbone still looks quite popular on twitter and reddit.
It doesn't make me cringe that someone says it, but it makes me cringe that someone actually finds it funny. I don't care if it's used, but if you use it, it tells me a lot about your maturity level and your sense of humor.
Exactly and the internet says far more stupid shit to "cringe over".
I find I don't get all that fussed either way. We, as in men, have been yukking it up at '69' and 'bone' related nonsense since forever. If MS wants to name their console in a way that can be shortened to sex then that is on them. The Xbox Sex was inevitable. Being cringe at it is denying the all-encompassing juvenile nature of gamers, as in men, since forever.
