Xbox720/Durango - 2013?

If they actually do call it the Xbox 720, they deserve to fail.

Why would they call it that, though.

[Warsaw]

Well, why did they call Xbox 2 the Xbox 360? Because it made them appear more advanced. 360 > 3 and 720 > 4. I understand that at the time the 360 was released, they would only be on the second generation; similar applies. I actually would rather them straight-up call it Xbox Next, since it has a nice ring to it. If they call it MetroBox, I'm switching to Sony if I ever buy another console.

Xbox Next? Doesn't sound very good at all...especially the double 'x' makes it sound bad.

Xbox 360 was pretty nice...360...a revolution. I don't mind 720...Durango sounds like an ape.

Might just be my English-native ears, but I thought it had a nice ring. Xbox 720 is just as bad as "Halo 4" and implies a revolution again. I'll be [pleasantly] surprised if they actually do something revolutionary this next go around, but the changes seen on the Xbox 360 versus the Xbox were pretty revolutionary for the home video-game console space.

No console is ever going to be powerful enough for it to be a huge draw to developers, because high end hardware and low cost to consumers just don't mix :P Its completely ridiculous that people even expect that to happen in a console xP

It's funny because you think "power" alone is what makes or breaks a console, especially when it comes to developers

XBOX 360 sounded cool. XBOX 720 sounds like too much (mainly because we already have 360 in our heads).

Quit consoles and we don't have to worry about naming them.

I said that power alone was never going to be enough of a draw to developers to any console. Not that power is the deciding factor :P

The main reason for the name 360 was because numerically Xbox 2 sounded inferior to PS3.
