For now, let's just agree to call it the Xbox 4.

[Deleted member 49804]

There are so many short hand names floating around for Microsoft's next gen Xbox, each more rancid than the last. Some I have seen recently include:

• Xbox Two
• Xbox 720
• Next Box
• NeXbox
• Xbox One 2
• Xbox 360 3
• Xbox 1080
• Yboy

Why can't we just be reasonable and call it the Xbox 4 for now. It is the fourth Xbox after all, and it works perfectly as a pair with PS5 when discussing the two next gen consoles together.

Appreciate your understanding on this guys.

No. 90% of the names you said don't float around for Microsoft's next gen Xbox.

People call it the next Xbox or by the different Codenames.
That's it. And that is also better than Xbox 4.

These topics are stupid.

That's because everyone knows it's the YBoy.

 

[Luke92]

Xbox 4k60FPS

 

[StarErik]

Winamp skipped 4 and went straight to 5 because "Winamp 5 is so good we skipped a number", Xbox might do the same. Heh.

They should just make it simple. Pull a windows 10 and skip a number. XBOX 5 to have marketing parity with PS5. If I were doing the brand image it would just be XBOX5 with the 5 being like a 'to the power of' number beside the last letter X.

Everyone can go back to just saying "XBOX" while still clearly being able to differentiate between generations.

 

[Imitatio]

Spencerbox? Xbox Phil?

Or Xbox P3.

 

[CerealKi11a]

It's a simple pattern

Xbox 1-> Xbox 360 -> Xbox One

What's next?

Xbox Three Sixty

 

[Raiden]

They will call it Xbox and release more powerful versions every 2 years or so.

I would love that actually.

 

[Deleted member 28076]

I'm calling it Xbox Two because MS has really turned it around this gen but I'll never stop mocking how awful a name "Xbox One" is.

 

[Bit_Reactor]

I love NextBox and I don't even buy Xbox game consoles. I'm sticking with that until the real title is unveiled. Which will probably be something like xXxBoxXx

 

[JINX]

We have a codename for it, why don't we just use that?

 

[Chucker]

Watch them call it Xbox.

That's it.

Yes, this. I'm fine with this.

 

[Edge]

It will be called Xbox 4K.
Just too perfect.

 

[Windu]

I am leaning towards the name "Xbox Two". Would fit nicely along side the Xbox One.

 

[Deleted member 176]

XboXXX
(pronounced "four x's box" )

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Na I'll keep calling it the Xbox 2.

 

[Mushlikeahusky]

Xbox infinite

 

[chromatic9]

Nextbox it is then.

 

[Fredrik]

I could see them doing Xbox 5 too. They could say the Xbox One X was a generational leap, and that would allow them to get numbering parity with Playstation. They've done that before with Windows skipping 9 to get parity with Mac OS X.

Yup that's what'll happen if they do go that route. There is no way they'll call it Xbox 4 if Sony calls their console Playstation 5 simply since Xbox 4 sounds, well, like it's from a previous gen, in a dumb way.

I still think they'll keep thinking out of the box though. They haven't numbered a console yet, except for the 360 which was numbered for other reasons.

 

[Leocarian]

Gonna take a hardcore educated guess here and call it Xbox Infinite. It fits well with their future strategy. So I think the word Infinite fits pretty well.

Plus it's not a bad name to begin with imho.

Lockhart could be called Xbox Infinite
Anaconda could be Xbox Infinite X or Xbox Infinite Preimum or Xbox Infinite Pro

 

[Megatron]

I really don't think Microsoft will start numbering the systems. Can't pretend the X1X was a generation after the fact it only plays current gen games.

XboxGamesBox is awesome.

Click to shrink...

Of course they can. Quick, show me Windows 9.

 

[Jahranimo]

I'm just calling it Xbox Scarlet or "the next Xbox"

 

[Falchion]

NeXtbox or bust.

 

[DRock]

It will always be the nextbox. Doesn't need to change from gen to gen.

 

[Sande]

I mean the only logical name is Xbox Threesixty.

 

[Navidson REC]

Or could we just call it Nextbox...?

Click to shrink...

I kinda like Nextbox as it will work forever. It won't ever be the actual name of an Xbox while always being a nice shorthand for the next Xbox.

 

[Jiraiya]

Of course they can. Quick, show me Windows 9.

Never heard of a console or handheld called windows 9.

Xbox 4 vs PS5

Not gonna work

 

[i20bot]

XBox One 2 Switch

 

[Sub Boss]

You forgot Xbox ONE Zero

 

[ASaiyan]

I love these threads that intend to shut down discussion.

I think you are taking the "discussion" over what to temporarily call the next Xbox a little too seriously. Lmao.

Personally, I'm cool with "Xbox 4", "Xbox Two", or "Nextbox". "Xbox Scarlett" is technically more correct, as it uses an officially-announced codename, but I disfavor it because it's more wordy, and also doesn't lend itself to easy abbreviation (unlike XB2/XB4).

Team Yboy all day

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

I'm sticking with nextbox for now

Sorry, I thought this was a serious topic.
For a joke post, this is obviously fine.

 

[Punpun]

Xbox Two.

 

[MisterR]

Xbox One, Part III

 

[EvilBoris]

Well Microsoft did trademark Xbox 8 before the One came out, with people guessing the 8 was an infinity symbol.

Click to shrink...

Internally they were perhaps joking reffering to it as Xbox Infinite/infinitity. I still see the leftovers of this fairly regularly.

 

[EvilBoris]

Maybe to try and gain more traction in japan, rename it Obox

 

[NCR Ranger]

For fun I will go with the Xbox One Two until they announce the actual name.

 

[PSqueak]

People couldn't stop others from calling it an "Xbone", what are your hopes to stop people from using any of those names for the hypothetical next Xbox?

I use that name as a term of endearment.

However, the marketing team need a slap for their poorly thought naming.
Always reminds me of this

 

[Zero-ELEC]

NeXtbox is my fave, tbh.

 

[Cirerus]

Xbox 360 2

 

[Anthony Hopkins]

We should the next PlayStation the PSinco

 

[Necron]

Wasn't it called Project Scarlet somewhere?

 

[RedshirtRig]

I don't know why, but I am rooting for it being called Xbox Dos.
