Will Microsoft call the next Xbox "Xbox 8"?
The fan site ThisisXbox.com, citing an unnamed source that recently worked at a "well known combined Publisher and Developer", claims that Microsoft is contemplating calling the next Xbox "XBOX 8." That name certainly would be in line with Microsoft's other big product launches for 2012; namely Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8.
The same story claims that Microsoft is working on an enhanced version of Xbox Live, code named "Infinity", that would handle downloads and apps for "XBOX 8", Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. Microsoft has already announced that Xbox Live will be integrated into Windows 8 when it launches later this year but details about that integration have yet to be announced.
Finally, this same story claims that Microsoft is working on having some kind of backwards compatibility feature for "Xbox 8" for Xbox 360 games, under the code name "Xbox Loop".
None of this is official, so take it with a huge grain of salt. However, Microsoft has admitted that it is making an effort to link many of its products together, especially with its Metro interface, so this rumor isn't outside the realm of possibility.

It wouldn't make sense to do that since it's only the third Xbox.. I get what they're doing with all of these 8's, but again, it would confuse people since it's only the third Xbox.

iJarH3ad If this is true. Microsoft is out of mind.
It will be better if it called xbox 3 because they have 2 xbox. If they release another xbox, it should be called xbox 3, no matter what.
Just like play station 1, 2, 3. It's very organize and they needs to keep a simple name, not a silly xbox name.
They would never name it Xbox 3. PS4 sounds more superior than Xbox 3.

Xbox 8 will be so confusing for people.
when I read the title I thinking, wait there's been 8 Xbox's?
Xbox 720 seem like a good name

Xbox 8? That sounds retarded to be quite honest. 720 seems more plausible and it's been in thought since rumors of the 360 coming out. But 8? It's so... plain.
