I like fusion better than infinite. its what the console is, a fusion of different entertainment (video games, movies, music, tv, etc)

I prefer Infinite better since it sounds cooler.

well they should use a word which is common in other languages and not only in english and fusion is also common in german, french, spanish... so yeah, would make sense to use such a word. but i think it sounds weird in german, can't imagine to say "schon von der neuen xbox fusion gehört?" lol

slightly off topic:
Basically like many characters in japanese Games like Stahl and Chrom in Fire Emblem: Awakening, Setzer in Final Fantasy (VI ?) or games like Panzer Dragoon: Zwei, or Einhänder...I agree, it is quite irritating :D !

It is even worse when the whole game is in english and these german (sounding) words are scattered throughout the text.

------------

XBox Fusion sounds pretty good, better than infinity (far too many syllables !)

Fusion? I like! Of course, I don't think that's the final name, I expect a numeric ending rather than a word. But I've just gotten so used to "Xbox 720", that I would be fine with that.

It's very unlikely to happen, but I'd like them to just 'effing call it Xbox 3.

Sounds odd that the domain exists that long...

I quite like it. The name fits with what they've been doing with the Xbox brand recently.

It will be a coming together of everything Microsoft, right into your living room... All in one Xbox.
