Alright so we all know recently the leaked name and release window for Microsoft's next Xbox was revealed. The new Xbox is supposed to be shown at CES in January. The name of the console is Xbox 10 and the release date is expected winter 2012.

The name Ten didn't make the most sense to me, I looked over threads about Xbox Ten and didn't see anyone talk about the name. Now if it has been talked about please link I obviously missed it.

But the name itself if true reveals a lot about the release date and confirms that the console will indeed be coming in 2012.

Firstly Xbox just turned 10 on November 15th. The 10th anniversary is already being celebrated with the release of Halo:Anniversary to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Halo universe. Microsoft has already said they plan to do something big for Xbox's tenth anniversary.

CES is the closest trade show to the tenth anniversary which Microsoft shows products off at. Announcing Xbox 10 (The tenth anniversary Xbox) at CES would make huge sense. Microsoft will likely also announce a huge roll out of events and things to celebrate the tenth anniversary much like Nintendo and Sega have been pushing their products anniversaries.

This new Xbox will very likely see a version of Halo 4 released as a launch window title for Xbox ten, why? Because ten years ago Xbox launched and Halo was the major title on the platform. That's not to discount the possibility of a 360 version but considering up until November 15th 2012 it will be the tenth anniversary of both X-Box and Halo.

If the name Ten is correct then a release date around November 15th 2012 with Halo 4 is very likely. What better way to wrap up Xbox's tenth anniversary then by launching a new Xbox as well as a new Halo game. Microsoft can really push this whole tenth anniversary thing big time revealing new stuff about the Next Xbox all year long, since very little has been shown of Halo 4 Microsoft can drag out the Halo celebrations all year long as well.

Leading to the climactic end of the tenth anniversary by releasing both Halo 4 and Xbox 10 by November 15th , 2012. The name actually makes complete sense and if true would really explain every single thing Microsoft is rumored to be doing.

Can you think of any better way for Microsoft to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Xbox or Halo? The tenth anniversary of Microsoft's entry into the console market?

Nah, you´re wrong...see, Microsoft is taking a page from Sega here, you´ll be seeing a lot of "Xbox does what Nintendon´t" ads for their next console.

Wouldn't naming it X box 10 make it sound inferior to the Glorious 360? I mean there is like a 350 number difference

I believe xbox 10 is just a project name and not the console name.

That could be correct but if it is the project or console name it would appear to be highly symbolic of the tenth anniversary. If their is any truth to the Xbox Ten name then it would suggest a release by November 15th 2012 is like 99% likely!

This makes my head hurt. (as do the majority of your posts/threads)

Halo 4 is coming on Xbox, it won't be a launch title for the next Xbox, the userbase will be too low. It won't be a twilight princes ssituation either.

No 360 price cut this fall, means there will be one next fall, which would be idiotic. It's not happening.

The leaked list of upcoming Microsoft products makes a lot more sense than ten.

Xbox 10 or Xbox X?
I think one I bolded is the most likely.

343 industries confirmed that halo 4 is going to be a 360 game. Porting it to next xbox would be pretty pointless as it would be the same exact thing as the 360 game. Anyway I don't think a new xbox is coming out at the end of 2012. Just for the 2012 holidays halo 4, call of duty, and assassins creed III are already confirmed 360 titles. Its possible that Grand Theft Auto V, Diablo 3, and a new bad company game will also be holiday 360 titles. Releasing the new xbox with huge games like those still releasing for the 360 doesn't really make sense.

The wii U will only encourge developers to make more 360/ps3/wiiu games since it is in a similar class to them. The new xbox would get outsold by the 360 holidays 2012 since it won't get any third party support. Developers will either make a game for the wii U, PC, and the 360 and PS3 which will still be selling well, or make a game for the new xbox with a none existant install base and the very top of the line PCs. What do you think they will pick.

That's just lame IMO.

nope not going to happen. 10 ha now thats LAME!
