What the fuck?

You can't just decide things like that. That said "nextbox" at least makes some sense.

Videogame journalists in about EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE regard the next XBox have decided to call it the XBox 720.  It now floats around as THE name, and what they use.  It got adopted as a naming convention that I personally find very stupid, but it does serve a purpose.  So, I was thinking, in keeping with that, might as well use it as a placeholder name for every future version of a console Microsoft has coming, or more precisely, the name for the next generation console.  So, when we go next generation after the one coming out, that would be the XBox 720 also.  XBox 720 did appear in the movie Real Steel, which could end up leading to why 720 was picked.

And I am not deciding, just putting it out there.  I do wonder what the videogame news folks will call the next XBox after this one is not called the 720, if they won't go with 720 next time.
