| Galaki said: One misconception that people have is that the next Xbox won't be called "Xbox 720". Xbox 2 is called "Xbox 360". Compared to Xbox 1, which is simply called "Xbox", Xbox 2 is 360 times more than Xbox 1. Now, it only make sense that Xbox 3 is also 360 times more than Xbox 2. And that makes "Xbox 129600" for the next Xbox, namely Xbox 3. |
Haha, nice spin :)
We all know the reason they went for 360 instead of 2 (nope, not this 'complete experience' crap). Xbox 2 will just sound inferior when compared to PS3. They had to have a 3 in there somewhere.
For the next generation, here are some candidates:
Xbox 4ever
Xbox 4U
Xbox 480
Speaking of 4. It is an unlucky number in Japan since 4 "shi" in Japanese also means "death". Many Japanese products avoid using the number in their name. Would that be the case with the next Playstation?
