Gah I missed that corner when I was memorizing the internet.

You should hang your head in shame.

Call it "tight pink box" and every guy will be lined up to buy it.

We need to resurrect Don LaFontaine so he can read that out in every single commercial for the next Xbox.

What if it didn't even have the xbox name in it? But really Xbox 4 seems to be the logical step. MS's goal was to make it seem like it was on par with PS3. If they go with Xbox 4 people will get that it is a generation above the PS3.

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.

The term is over 2 years old! It is akin to being new to the the term 'rickrolling'. It's not an insider term in the least.

I rarely ever use the term lulz. I bet you would be hard pressed to find more then 2 times where I have used the term. I only use it when am I trying to sound like just that, a dumb meme-shitter who goes around all day shitting memes all over the internet (which is why I added 'lulz' to the post).

I don't care that you don't know the phrase, but I was surprised that Queasy didn't know it, as I have the impression of him as someone who soaks up everything video game related on the internet.

I think your hostile comments are a bit unwarranted. Why do you feel the need to be so aggressive and resort to (false) name calling?

I think somebody needs a hug...

Xbox^3, and they'll make damn sure everybody knows it's "xbox cubed" and not "xbox 3".

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.

It just still doesn't make sense to me. They are a software company but they did not upgrade the system at all. Just seems like a way to be able to call the next one 4 instead of 3 to sound as good as the next Playstation.

Or maybe Xbox 720 because when you see it you will turn 720 degrees and walk away.

EDIT: Oh! Maybe they should call it the Xbox 540 so when you see it you will turn 540 degrees, walk up to it, turn it on, and play.

Next Xbox will be the ZB0X - because everything is cooler with a "Z" and "Xtreme" is overused. Heck, I'm going to register ZB0X.com and make a killing...

Xbox 7, that way stupid people will associate it with Windows 7.

Seriously, I think Xbox 1080 sounded the most reasonable. It would at least do a good job of associating it with 1080p resolution.
Nintendo will follow suit by naming their next console the Wii 480
