Xbox Four. Would be so simple...



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Hello new account. Creative naming. I wonder who's hiding in there.



Xbox
Xbox 360
Xbox One
Xbox One X
Xbox 5

Even though their next system will be their fourth true console, they will retroactively call Xbox One X a system that succeeded the original Xbox One and will finally give Microsoft the ability to name a system with the same number behind it as Sony with their PlayStation. They couldn’t call Xbox 360, Xbox 2, because too many people would automatically find it inferior to PlayStation 3 based off of its number. Xbox 5 vs PlayStation 5, however, gives Microsoft an equal chance in terms of name/numerical power. If it’s equal to or slightly more powerful than PS5, Microsoft will stand a chance at beating Sony.

Of course, if those two companies “only” make standalone consoles, both seeing release in November, 2020 and Nintendo releases a Nintendo Switch beefy successor in March, 2021, I could see Nintendo winning that generation. A lot depends on just how well NS goes for Nintendo in these next few years, but I definitely could see that a more advanced Nintendo Switch could wind up being the overall platform of choice.

We shall see.



Xbox Elite or Xbox 720

Xbox consoles names make as many sense as the Power Rangers season names. So I would go with "Xbox Zeo"

XHamster Box. It will be a porn machine.

Why not just the XBoxxx?

Yeah much more to the point. I'll take that!



Xbox 360 and Xbox One

Xbox.

Generations are dead.



Xbox Divinity - They’ll market it as the Holy Grail or God of Comsole Gaming.



I think they will continue with Xbox One given it should continue support of pervious Xbox content.

I imagine at launch they will boast it plays your old content better and likely will be even more powerful than PS5.
