Will all consoles of the future be called some stupid one syllable word?

I for one think it's much more interesting than just adding numbers to the name.  Nintendo and Sega have always had nice original names without resorting to numbers, except for Nintendo64, but that's back when that number was really important.  I'll never understand the 360 name though.  It's an XBox2.

 

I read somwhere that  MS used xbox 360 instead of xbox2 because the PS3 sounded new because it was the third one and the xbox would of sounded old having a 2 and also sounding as if it was competing with the PS2 so they made it 360 so it would appear to be equal to the PS3.  or something like that so name must be a big thing.
