XBox 720, It's coming! According to... Real Steel?
So I do tend to hit up Imgur a fair bit, I like chuckling at the comments to the pictures. I saw this one a few days ago and figured that it should be getting discussed. We all know a new Xbox is coming, but this sure is an interesting way to advertise it.

Yeah, we noticed that when we went to the local premiere of Real Steel.
I don't know what the current code name is, but 5-6 years ago it was just called Xbox.next. There's about a 0% chance of that being the final name, but I can't imagine Xbox 720 is really on the table either.
... something tells me that name wouldn't be used anyway.Originally Posted by ProgrammingAce

Yeah, it sounded fictional, like "360 x 2 = 720, so let's say that it'd be the Xbox 720". Could always just be a codename that'll eventually be dropped for some other name.
Placeholders. But good question: What will it be called? Can't be Xbox3 - would be bad because of 360, 720 would be a little odd, even though i don't think it's completely out of the race. Many talk about it as "Xbox720", but on the other hand XP was called Longhorn and was widely know as that and it even had a logo, but they still changed the name to XP. We will have to see, but i love that speculation stuff.
Fanboys destroy everything.
Haha, yeah. I hadn't considered that.
Most Microsoft projects are called "Whatever.next" before they get an official code name; office is called "Office.next" for example. At least they were back then... MS changes the conventions every few years, just for fun.
Interesting. Didn't know about the .next naming convention over at Microsoft, which seems to mean little more than "new" in their case. Andabout the reference to NeXT... :P
maybe it should be called Xbox 420 just for the stoners' pleasure

It won't be called "Xbox 3" because that makes it seem inferior to "Playstation 4" in the eyes of consumers. It also won't be called "Xbox 720" because of the connection with "720p resolution" (also seen as inferior in the eyes of consumers).
It will likely be called "Xbox" with 1 word before or after "Xbox". You heard it here first.

Or because it'll smoke?

How about the Boxy Boxed Xbox? *ducks*
It might be called Xbox 1080
I lived my life with no fear nor hatred... For these traits are certain to the content of my immortal being.
Xboxen!

Considering that the current console is called the Xbox 360, as has already been stated, that's also a major reason why it won't be called the Xbox 3. Far too close to Xbox 360 for them to ever go with it
I'm hoping that this means that they'll bring back the old 'NeXtBox' name.... I really liked that name.

Or maybe they'll take a page out of Hollywood's book when it comes to releasing remakes and call it "The Xbox." No numbers, just the word "The" to distinguish it from the first console. If we're lucky. Could just call it "Xbox."
how about the Super Genesis Xbox?
It will have 3 attachments and a way to play portable games on it... and will have a rumored 4th attachment created by another company and back out on it last second and piss that company off which they turn into a video game company.............
What? It could happen
With the pushes towards an all encompassing TV Box that Microsoft seems to be heading towards they may just drop the XBOX title from their next system to try to market it as a entertainment media center rather then a primarily game machine. Just a thought.
