I am here to state why I think that's ridiculous, and what I've thought for some time what it'd more likely be instead.
Introducing... the Xbox 1080.
I've been thinking that would be a far more likely name than Xbox 720 for a long while now. I've mentioned it here and there, both online and off. I've never really posted any reasoning behind that, however, so many have probably either not noticed, or dismissed it as not making much sense. So, here's my reasoning. The original Xbox was just that - the Xbox. Simple name, nothing extra. Like a single point. Then we got the sequel. The Xbox 360. 360 is the number of degrees in a circle - like they took the Xbox and improved on that concept all-around, in each and every aspect. They took the idea of the Xbox and wend full-circle with it. Now, we're going on to the next sequel. The Xbox 1080, if you will. 360 is the number of degrees on a single axis - the X-axis, we'll say. One dimension. If the improvement goes from the Xbox being a point to the Xbox 360 being a circle, then the next improvement would be going from a circle to... a sphere! Full 3D from there - X, Y, and Z axes. If one axis has three-hundred and sixty degrees, then three axes - three dimensions - will have three times that. 360 + 360 + 360 = 1080.
Thus, the Xbox 1080. Reasonable, yeah? |
What a stupid post. Seriously.
