XBOX 360?

[sabre2922]

from 1UP.COM:
Two interesting Xbox-related rumors popped up on the web today. According to popular gizmo website Engadget, the official name for the next generation Xbox, often referred to as Xbox Next, Xbox 2, or Xenon, is actually "Xbox 360." According to Engadget, the name was test-marketed and a source working on the project has confirmed it to them.
:hmm:

I could maybe understand 180, but 360? Come on its still the same damn direction! :roll:

I doubt thayd give it a name like that. I just doesn't have a good ring to it.

[omnedon]

Maybe it's round.

[sabre2922]

Maybe it's round.
LOL

360 degrees = one revolution


You figure it out.

[PDorr3]

wow thats a really un-catchy name for a console. I think xbox 2 or xbox next were good, but xbox 360 is just strange. reminds me of skateboarding games like tony hawk or...a circle :)

[Algol]

I kinda doubt that's the real name. Will it cost $360 at launch? Will it have a skateboarding pack in game? Maybe its round. :P

[omnedon]

I think it's round.

First off, we have GameCUBE and XBOX. Next off, Revolution and 360 (which is basically the same thing). Nintendo-Microsoft conspiracy? That's for you to decide.

[Wavelflack]

Maybe it's 360X as powerful as Xbox (1)?

Hey, 360 degrees gets you right back where you started. So what they're trying to say is they're just going to push the original XBox for the next 5 years. Zing!

[tholly]

what a terrible name (but if that is the name, you can be sure that ill still buy one, ill just call it xbox 2)

[Wavelflack]

360 degrees is probably about 200 degrees less than the operating temperature of PS3.

[Cryomancer]

Why would a box be round?

[Wavelflack]

On Valentines Day, you'll buy a heart shaped "box of chocolates".

A box is a container, not a geometric shape.

[Cryomancer]

Ah, damn, guess you're right.

[petewhitley]

I think they're trying to capitalize off the outstanding success of the hottest new show on TV, "Dance 360" (check local listings). That show kicks ass. Stoned.

:hmm: ..maybe the only upgrade..it's that it actually require a memorycard$ or by making it round(360)..it'll be lighter and smaller LOL

[Ernster]

I still reckon they should call it Super XBOX....

[omnedon]

It's gotta be round.

[Kilik Kurosawa]

they should call it the Dolphin...oh wait that would be stupid

[Ernster]

LOL Microsoft Dolphin - Too cool for the ocean.

[Predatorxs]

I'm still gunna go with what i heard awhile back "X2" but i'm thinkin MS will stay away from callin it Xbox2 or anything with 2 into since the Playstation3 will also be launched at roughtly the same time.

You know how any companys think-tank works, they don't wanna confuse there core market, so 3 is better than 2 so we can't go with 2! LOL

The next box after the XBox 360 will be the XBox fakie to backside 720...

[Xtasy]

If it is called xbox 360 and or it is round i will NOT buy one, even if its 1000000 times better htan the original for modding.

[gamegirl79]

God forbid M$ (or Sony) would come up with a completely new name. :/

[Promophile]

I think it should be called the Microsoft Monstrosity, and should weigh 50 pounds and should be a actual PC shoved inside a lead box.

[Dr. Morbis]

I think it should ... weigh 50 pounds and should be a actual PC shoved inside a lead box.
I think it will be.

[omnedon]

It's probably round.

[wufners]

I've never heard of this site before (and that doesn't mean much) but they claim to have some details on the Xbox 360.

Legit or BS?

*shrugs* I surely don't know, but it makes for some fun speculation while we wait to hear.
