I think that microsoft will probably keep the xbox brand name like sony and playstation and not change it randomly like nintendo. But what do u think the xbox 3 should be called? And dont say the obvious ones like xbox 720,xbox 3,nextbox ect.

 

Im liking those designs but preffer the one on the right. And really Im more interested in what an Xbox 360 Slim might be called if one is released. Holding out for the Xbox 360 Xtreme

This thread is truly hilarious.

As for the name, I see them dropping the Xbox brand name altogether; there is a lingering shooterbox stigma around that and it is too edgy. If they want to reach more people, it has to be something less juvenile.

I'll throw out a Microsoft Epsilon. Heck, maybe they will throw a curveball and release a prequel in Name to Natal.

Xbox cubed doesn't make sense to me. Isn't a cube and a box redundant?

Naughty! Are you suggesting that it will tend to zero?

It is a past dream coming full circle lol

Maybe they should save it for Xbox 5 though..........makes more numerical sense

A lot of meanings, but countless (mostly engineering and physics) students that had to try many times to pass Calculus I or II exam (or similar Maths exams) will immediately think about that epsilon

Even Lancia, that often uses greek letters to name its cars, skipped epsilon after "delta" (but, after "zeta", they skipped "theta" too, opting for "thesis", maybe because "theta" is too similar to Italian "tetta", that means tit ).

I wouldn't really mind Xbox 720 (yes, I know what you don't want).

I heard a rumor that "Xbox Liquid" is the code name (remember, just a rumor) because the console will contain a liquid coolant.

Not sure if anyone commented on this yet or not, but they would never use liquid cooling on a home console.  Liquid cooling requires you to change out the fluid at least once a year or so.  Otherwise it can slowly evaporate/leak/get dirty and cause lots of problems.  Unless they can guarantee a system where no fuild is contaminated and none escapes, it would be pointless, not to mention expensive.

It wouldn't even help with noise or anythin because the radiator for a liquid cooling setup still needs to cool the fluid with decent fans.
