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.

-ICY-FragginAmour I think they should do less announcing and making rumors and more releasing.i completely agree with u
Yes but with that xbox is putting rumors they are releasing * Hints* and more detales so yeah but i hope the next box will have free live like the PS3
But they won't because microsoft knows that people will pay for live. It will most likely be payed for by credit card because microsoft has anounced that they are getting rid of the points and live cards which means that if you aren't an adult or have a credit card then you will not be able to purchase xbox live and the points
