Forums - Microsoft - I propose using "Nextbox" as placeholder name when discussing next gen XBox system.

And I agree with anyone who thinks "Xbox 720" would be a really stupid name.
What? 720p? Already got one, don't want another 720p console.
Where's the Xbox 1080?

Why not "Pie"?



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

Testicular pie is a good name.



Why don't we just call it Durango?



I really like the sound of Xbox 8 lol.

It sounds.. clean



Yay!!!

I always call it the neXtBox.

i think it will be 720.

Because Xbox 720 appeared in Real Steel.

That's the main reason.

that was just MS building the hype, not the real name for sure



i call it nextbox most of the time. sometimes i say something like "i think the next xbox ....."

and i think durango would be also ok.



While that article annoyed the hell out me as well, I prefer calling it Xbox 3. It makes complete sense.

I propose shutting the fuck up because that is the WORST name and not only that has been on ZERO leaks thus far. Call it Xbox720 or Durango. Those are your options. Deal with it.

I am curious to see what that post was moderated from.

Anyhow, Nextbox (however it is spelled) is what some are calling it.  I had giving a nod to Durango actually as a name for it.  But I had spoke against 720?  Why 720?  It is like Wii2, which people were calling it, which actually does make a bit of sense, because it was considered the next Wii, but hadn't followed any of the historical naming conventions Nintendo used.

And heck no, those aren't the only two options, because people have called it more than that.
