I really like that name.
Better than 360.
Best Next-Gen Console Name.
They've obviously done research and used focus groups but the name just doesn't sound great. It doesn't roll off the tongue. Honestly I think Xbox 720 would have been a far better choice.

Next Xbox to be named "Xbox Beyond"

.Xfinity.
Better than 720. What a terrible idea that would be. You'd have "professionals" in electronic stores thinking it can only produce 720p and selling it as such. MS aren't stupid. I'd take just XBOX but that would cause confusion in the name just like the WiiU is new experiencing
Better than Vita and WiiU, but still pretty meh.
No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.
Me talking to my friends: "Yo bros, wanna play on the Infinity later today?"
...That sounds derpy.
Seriously? They're calling it Xbox Infinity?
That's bad on so many levels. Amongst other things, there's nowhere to "go" from infinity - they called it the "Xbox 360" to make it a bigger number than "PS3". "Infinity" is just pushing it further... but what do they call the next one? "Xbox Aleph1"?
It's also a meaningless name - there's nothing "infinite" about the system whatsoever. Even the Wii, with its visually nonsensical name, makes sense when you hear the explanation - "basically 'We', meaning 'play together', but in a linguistically-neutral way".
Nintendo might have theoretically been able to get away with an "infinity" in the name of their next console (as in, not the Wii U but the one that comes after it), because infinity is shaped like an 8 on its side, and the Wii U is the 7th Nintendo console. But MS going with "infinity" just feels like they're trying to force the name to sound bigger than "PS4".
Cool name, I approve. Much better than Durango, which sounds like a brand of Mexican off-road tyre or something.

Durango is the name of a Mexican state
And I like the name
