Microsoft obtains 'Xbox 8' domain names
Microsoft was likely most interested in regaining these just to protect its own IPs – and the immediate use of things like xboxlivetv.com and xboxphone.com seem apparent.
It's tempting to suspect Microsoft is eyeing "Xbox 8" as the next console name due to the two domains that reference it; however, Microsoft already began integrating Xbox Live, and the "Xbox" name, into all its consumer products, including Windows 8. Also, it would be really weird if a domain squatter guessed the name.

KexFrogKex Xbox 720 would sound abit tacky, Xbox 8 sounds better
I agree! I actually like the sound of it but most people don't seem to for some reason...
People have been saying xbox 720 for years and are sad that it won't be called that.
Xbox 8 does take a little more to say than xbox 720.

FrogFPS_Ryan If "Xbox 8" is the name for the next Microsoft consolewell... thats just a really lame name.

I like 8 better than 720 tbh. But what kind of relationship will the 8 have with the xbox.

I dont see why they are taking the 8 domain names. I think it has something to do with windows 8 but thats just my opinion.
