Xbox Infinity



Around the Network

I think they will go to the standard style of Xbox Two

Xbox Infinity seems most likely of those, but then again I never saw Xbox One coming.


Would get confused with Disneys "infinity".

A game the Xbox has, unless Xbox partnered up with disney and their plan was to go the nintendo route with Amiibos, but use Disney figourines... I dont see the point in that name. Could end up confuseing parents.

Xbox First.

If you think about it MS technically never changed the name.

Xbox
Xbox 360 (if you go 360 degrees then it's just Xbox)
Xbox One so yet again just back to the original Xbox.

Next Xbox be called Xbox First.

I was thinking the exact same thing!  Except I think it will be called:  Original XBox.



Xbox √-1

There is no way that Microsoft will do the incremental numbering because they will always have one generation less than their main competitors (Sony). That is why they named the second Xbox the Xbox 360 and not Xbox 2, since 2 is less than 3 (PS3). The same reason why they didn't name it "Xbox 3" when they are competing against the PS4.

The best name out of what you listed would have to be Xbox Infinity.

go around in circles

"if you go round in circles when you are discussing something or trying to achieve something, you do not make any progress because you keep going back to the same subjects or the same problems."

I think that could send the wrong message.

It makes it seem like there theres little to no progression and again, it can confuse parents/casuals.



Xbox 362

If windows can "skip" 9, then surely the Xbox could do the same if MS really believed that line of reasoning.

I think its a silly logic, its worse than the ones I previded for the "circle around to same name in various ways" idea, or the "infinity" name.

 

MS should build a brand name with the Xbox.

Part of that is finding something and sticking with it.



Xbox ∞ (Infinity)



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
