Next-Generation Xbox could be called the X8

4.7
After reading an Xbox tutorial guide by Microsoft, it seems to suggest that the next Xbox might be called the X8 or Xbox Infinity.

The official Xbox website has tutorial pages that explain how to use various features of the Xbox 360. The interesting part of these tutorials is that two pages refer to the X8.

"Play a Game (includes X8)" and "Listen to Music (includes X8)"

This could essentially be interpreted to mean that the instructions are applicable to both the X8 console and the Xbox 360.

Could this be a listing of the compatibility of the X8 mouse with an Xbox platform?

The next-generation console is expected to be revealed later this year, so without confirmation, we're only left to speculate.

whatsamod They both sound like ok names to me, just don't understand the meaning behind "X8" though. Can't wait for the reveal, from the immense size of the minecraft launch I can't even imagine how big the next Xbox' s launch will be.


X8= xbox and windows 8 =p at lest that's what I'm thinking, they seem to be trying to make everything look the same and connect together.

Editiionz Me and my mates where talking and saying that they would never call it the 720 because its such a bad name, my mate said it might be called xbox 8 because of windows 8. But x8 sounds better.
I doubt they will call it the X8 because of Windows 8. What if they bring out Windows 9? Are they going to re-name it?!
