Seriously? They're calling it Xbox Infinity?
That's bad on so many levels. Amongst other things, there's nowhere to "go" from infinity - they called it the "Xbox 360" to make it a bigger number than "PS3". "Infinity" is just pushing it further... but what do they call the next one? "Xbox Aleph1"?
It's also a meaningless name - there's nothing "infinite" about the system whatsoever. Even the Wii, with its visually nonsensical name, makes sense when you hear the explanation - "basically 'We', meaning 'play together', but in a linguistically-neutral way".
Nintendo might have theoretically been able to get away with an "infinity" in the name of their next console (as in, not the Wii U but the one that comes after it), because infinity is shaped like an 8 on its side, and the Wii U is the 7th Nintendo console. But MS going with "infinity" just feels like they're trying to force the name to sound bigger than "PS4".
