Lexcyn Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I liked the name Xbox Next better, personally. What significance does 360 hold? 360 days a year you can be playing a game? lol. :unsure: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/280804-xbox-2-likely-to-be-called-xbox-360/#findComment-585414353 Share on other sites More sharing options...

theyarecomingforyou Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Sounds stupid - Xbox Next is so much better. I doubt they will change it from Xbox Next - they kept with the codename for the original console, I imagine they'll do it again.

Prodak Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 that name really sux! Do they ever make a survey to know what customers like and dislike?

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted February 4, 2005 Global Moderator Share Posted February 4, 2005 isnt the codename for Xbox 2 called "Xeon" or something :huh: 585414752[/snapback] Xeon is a processor dude! where have you been? under a rock? i like that name xbox 360. the little story behind it is kinda interesting. it would sound less cutting edge then "playstation 3". like if somebody walked into a game store, and said "i want a game system for my son", and say xbox 2 and playstaion 3. i think they'd go for playstation 3 ;) this way, xbox 360 (2) sounds a bit cooler...

Gersson Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Maybe they mean the system will rely heavily on Online Games. That said, that has to be the worst name I've EVER heard for a System. It almost seems like Bill Gates named it himself! I think it's Bogus.

Tuffgong4 Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I could be wrong but I think "Xenon" is the name of the development kit that microsoft is sending to game developers so that they can create games for the second Xbox Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/280804-xbox-2-likely-to-be-called-xbox-360/#findComment-585414807 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroChaos Veteran Posted February 4, 2005 Veteran Share Posted February 4, 2005 yeah, xenon was the other name, not xeon. @synthetic darkness, that is the funniest sig i've seen all year. if it is called xbox 360, it doesn't sound very catchy...
