Creator of the Xbox Infinity image comes clean, says it's fake
The image was originally posted on Reddit by a user named C-Ron who said he saved everyone a month and showed off the image of what was supposedly the branding of the next Xbox. While some news sources cited this information as fact and others hedged and said that it was unconfirmed, the rest is history as Xbox Infinity is now a household name among those eagerly waiting Microsoft's next generation console.
But, user C-Ron said it was a fake, he created the image in Photoshop and posted it to Reddit and was amazed at how quickly the image spread around the Internet. After the image made its course, he announced, on Reddit, that the image was an elaborate hoax and to not get your hopes up about the branding.
So there you have it, Xbox Infinity is not real, it did not come from an insider and for now, it's best to wait a few more weeks until Microsoft makes the official announcement.

Zer0 if you go to cheatcc they still have the article saying this is real lol
I'd imagine people are flaming that article about it being real or fake. At least the original creator came out and said it was fake, people can take stuff too seriously.

BFF This was a good scam
originally never meant to be a scam, just other dumb websites picked it up on their own and used it to fool others

The guy never said or meant it be the real deal, it was just other website that picked it up and said that. The man made what he thought would be a cool logo/brand name of it
