Naming stuff has never really been microsoft's strong suit. "Onebox"? Doesn't give the consumer any idea of what the product is, so it's no better or worse than the equally meaningless Xbox, and Wii. At least with "playstation" the consumer has some idea what the product is.
But Xbox now has broad brand recognition, so changing to Onebox is as likely to confuse as anything. I think getting the "one" concept into the name is a good idea but staying with the known name "xbox" and adding to it would be easier for market recognition and uptake.
Illumiroom will have a niche audience only. I don't see the broad appeal for people having both a high quality TV and a 180 or 360 (irony?) degree projector and front and rear image capture. The simplicity of the single piece of equipment that is kinect is lost with illumiroom. Nifty tech, but very low market penetration, a bit like 80" 4K TV.
Any screen, any time. Now that is the killer app here and it will excite the general public. And it will demand a response from the competition. |
I think the illumiroom has the potential to sell well cause its such a new thing. I was listening to the radio the other day, and they were talking about the PS4 and Nextbox, and even they were saying how amazing the illumiroom looks, and that Sony will really have to announce something very special if they want to out do the Nextbox. If MS incorporates the illumiroom thing into every game, it could really help sell many units of the Nextbox.

The illumiroom actually does have a lot of potential> Im curious to see if it needs walls cleared off or not though
