Naming their console "Infinite" or "Infinity" would be utterly foolish unless this is to be their last conventional box.
I mean they went from 360 to One so Infinite isn't impossible
I like it tbh
Goes along with Halo Infinite
Xbox kinda infinite or "finite" obviously to insinuate the superiority of the better console. duh.
It is imbecilic to name something "Infinite" or its variation because there is nowhere to go from there the next time around. Infinity by definition is unending and so that name is a contradiction against the precept of 'generation'. Subsequently, it comes off of as pretentious (to me at least). MS has been pretty sensible and on point with names thus far (even though I know not why they simply did not stick to the numerical convention.... probably because they'd always be 1 shy off of PS numbers) especially with 360 (by far one of the most apt name for its time).
You could say the same for Smash ultimate, but we all know that won't be the last smash. Bioshock is coming out with another game after infinite....
It's fine and makes sense to me. Just a name to call it by. Can't take the term literally, but in regards to what it implies by the philosophy of the console.
Microsoft's thinking was, Sony was about to take over American living rooms with the PS2, with all of its capabilities, go online and would essentially be a computer under the TV. Thus, Project Midway, XBOX.
Xbox Stream
That's my guess since streaming (xCloud) and accessibility (Game Pass) seem like major focuses for them this gen.

Sorry I couldn't resist
This is what I'm thinking. It's a name that everyone knows already and would eliminate one more layer of name complication for the common user. Call the system your service, it's genius really.
I posted this in the wrong thread but I think Xbox Infinite's short hand isn't great with the current Xbox's branding issues. XBI isn't all that different from XB1. Which is not to be confused with Xbox 1 (OG).
What Phil Spensor is referring to is speed. The speed in which the games load with ssd. The speed in which you can play a game upon purchasing it via xcloud. The higher frame rates. That's what will define the next Xbox name. I don't think infinite captures that.

Lol I somehow knew this would pop up. Sure call it Sonic. Fuck it who cares. Though I like that Infinite logo someone created a page back.
Yeah... it's no secret that this isn't true at all, they wanted a 3 so it wouldn't look like they were behind the PS3, that was it.
The startup chime for this console can and will be amazing
