They're all corny.

Corny does not make it predictable....wtf you couldn't have predicted any of those.

I bet the next Nintendo console will be called the Wii Wii.

1080... that way they can associate their name with 1080p tv's

No, it would only be RRODBOX 2. I still have my original Xbox, which never had the same issues.

Xbox 720 would be predictable, so they need to do something like Xbox 720 Stalefish. Or maybe the 720 Stiffy!! :shocked:

Well...considering Microsoft decided to call their new OS Windows 7, I wouldn't be surprised if they call it the Xbox 3.

Considering MS went with "Xbox 360" due to not wanting to be perceived as lesser than the PlayStation 3 with an "Xbox 2", I very much doubt they're going to use a number at all for their next console.

Yea but the Xbox is a much more established brand now.

They could call it the Xbox 4 if they use the Windows 7 numbering scheme, considering Win7 is actually 6.5 internally.

The original Xbox was Xbox 1.0
The 360 was Xbox 2.0
The NXE was Xbox 3.0
The next Xbox will be 4.0

How is NXE 3.0??? It made it a brand new console??? Wow I didn't know that.

Microsoft is a software company so you could look at it from their perspective, I was just detailing one outlandish example of how you could consider the next console to be the Xbox 4 (which doesn't sound very cool IMO), and I'm not saying I would agree with such a chain of logic.

I do believe that not naming you consoles as Sony has (Playstation 'x'), you do make it possible to generate more buzz around your product before it's unveiling. You know the next playstation will most likely be called Playstation 4, heck I even remember the commercials they had for the PS9 when the PS2 came out. But knowing this removes much of the mystery surrounding the product.

They call it the Xbox 360 because when you see it you turn 360 degrees and walk away.






it had to be said

More advanced measure of angle for a more advanced gaming experience??

Actually, the way I think of it is this: "360" has three syllables (three six-ty). So to keep it in line with the 360, 1080 (ten eight-y) seems to fit the bill quite well. 720 (sev-en twen-ty) doesn't exactly roll off my tongue.

It pops up a lot EVERYWHERE.

What, do you guys shelter yourself only to ATOT and your closet?

I'm surprised that Queasy, of all people, didn't get it.

EDIT: It also didn't start from that yahoo question. That is just the meme being repeated for lulz. I know it is at least 2 years old...

I bet the number #1 objective on the design document is to make the failure light blue or some other color.

 

[erwos]

I'm going to go with "Xbox Xtreme". Because everything sounds better when "extreme". It'll also come with a coupon for a six pack of Mountain Dew.

I think the more interesting discussions are:
1. Discs, downloads, or both for full games?
2. Motion controller?
3. On-board flash vs. HDD vs. both? How much?
4. Will they move to less-proprietary peripherals?
5. Backwards-compatibility?
6. Integration opportunities vis a vis Zune, WMC, and WHS.

That was going to be the name of the current console, they're not going to go back and use it.

Although maybe Nextbox...

Are you seriously going to degrade some of us for not ever hearing about this before now? Of course, I wouldn't expect any less from someone who uses "lulz". I'm finding more and more that people who use internet terms like "lulz", "moar", and other stupid shit like that are the biggest idiots on the internet.

Excuse Queasy and myself if we don't browse the internet 24/7 in order to get obscure "insider" jokes.

LOL OMG I can't help myself here guys.

It will be called The Box. I can just see the advertisement with some hot girls holding it up and petting it smiling saying the hottest item for all gamers. Simply turn it on and your good to go!
