Disambiguate Xbox

BUR #26767 has been rejected.

rename xbox -> xbox_(game_console)
deprecate xbox

According to the wiki, the tag "Xbox" was meant to be used for the very first Xbox console. However, due to how vaguely named this tag is, this tag is frequently misused for any posts that features Xbox logo, in itself a severely underutilized tag. So I suppose we should give it a qualifier to prevent future misuse, as well as do a cleanup post on any other post that doesn't feature the console itself or a reference to it.

Edit: I cited forum #22718 for example for similar problem with former "Playstation" tag.

This bulk update request is pending automatic rejection in 5 days.

Mistagging aside, this feels too much like qualifying just for the sake of it. Everybody should know what an xbox is, and qualifying it just looks ridiculous.

Tangentially, I think you meant topic #22718, not forum #22718.

Maybe xbox 1?

Yeah... Microsoft just couldn't stand not f'king that up for everyone.

original_xbox? xbox_(2001), maybe?

Xbox (2001) sounds better to me.

I know, but we already have xbox_one. Surely, SURELY that's different enough.

Not to anyone with only a passing familiarity of the console, I'm afraid. I myself was surprised to see xbox_1 be a wikiless link; having only heard it spoken aloud, I assumed that's how it was written. I'm fairly certain we'd only asking for trouble by having both xbox_1 and xbox_one.

Since this is something of a unique case, it may need a unique qualifier. I suggest xbox_(original_console); it's unambiguous and fairly obvious in its meaning.

We could also go for just (original), ala Game Boy (Original).

That works better, yeah.

Done. It should contain enough information, but feel free to add or edit anything if needed.
