I don't think either of the next Xbox or Playstation consoles will have a number in it. They will both learn a lesson from Nintendo and name it something.

Yeah but if you duct tape two 360s together...

Depends on the orientation.

If you stack them neatly, you get Xbox 720.

If you put the bottom sides together, you get Xbox Zero.

If you put one perpendicular to the other one, you get Xbox Sphere.

Bravo!

OT: It really depends what their target is. 720 is not very casual friendly.

How about Xbox 540?If we think it will be 720 then 540 makes sense too.

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?
