What do you think the next Xbox will be called?

There is no way that Microsoft will do the incremental numbering because they will always have one generation less than their main competitors (Sony). That is why they named the second Xbox the Xbox 360 and not Xbox 2, since 2 is less than 3 (PS3). The same reason why they didn't name it "Xbox 3" when they are competing against the PS4.

The best name out of what you listed would have to be Xbox Infinity.

If windows can "skip" 9, then surely the Xbox could do the same if MS really believed that line of reasoning.

I think its a silly logic, its worse than the ones I previded for the "circle around to same name in various ways" idea, or the "infinity" name.

 

MS should build a brand name with the Xbox.

Part of that is finding something and sticking with it.

I believe Microsoft skipped Windows 9 because they must have had an operating system that was closely associated with Windows 8.  Considering that Windows 8 was a huge flop, they must have scrapped Windows 9 and the name as well.  

How on Earth would Microsoft be able to skip a name in the console business and name their next console "Xbox 5"?  They would be laughed at and ridiculed to no end.
