Agreed. My guess is it will be called Xbox 1080...
I also agree with what others have said about Halo 4 being a smarter move on the next console, specifically as a launch title.
But as far as the Xbox 1080 coming in the fall of 2012, I remain skeptical. It's certainly possible, as it gives the 360 a full seven years on the market without a successor, but unless they have a pretty hefty price tag in mind, I don't see it being able to largely out-perform Wii U (which I believe will be $299), and without the benefit of Nintendo's IPs or a new hook (maybe). I think it would be in Microsoft's best interest to roll with the 360 until 2013, when the Xbox 1080 could debut with a very strong presence, better tech, a cheaper price and a far better launch lineup. Plus, launching their successor early also gives the Playstation 3 a huge chance at overcoming 360's WW sales; something that Microsoft adamantly wants to prevent, almost out of principle alone.
