I think the 360 stands for how much it's going to weigh....

If they are so dead set on that name, I think they should at least knock the Xbox off the name and call it just the 360. Xbox 360 sounds more like an add-on for the current console than the next-generation microsoft offering.

The numbering scheme works for Sony since playstation in my mind is just another way of referring to a console, but to me Xbox always referred to the design of the current console and therefore, is too closely related to this generation to be carried on in the name.

Well they can't call it Xbox 2. Consumers in this country are so ****ing stupid there'd be people who wouldn't buy an Xbox 2 simply because 3>2 and we already know that the next sony system is PS3.

This gets around it quite nicely, though personally I liked NexTBox

Null · 04-06-2005, 02:36 PM

you do know the xbox is 32 bit, so is ps2, and your computer is most likely 32bit (they just started making 64bit chips) right?

MuGen · 04-06-2005, 02:37 PM

Anywhoo...360. So what is that? The Xbox again? They returned to the starting point. Maybe the packaging will be different...

It's going to be an Xbox on a circular pivot gyro, so it can spin in 360 degrees so it adjusts to wherever your playing.

like IGN said, it's xbox 360 so it's better than a (nintendo) revolution, it's a 360

and it's better than playstation 3, it's xbox 360

eh, i'm curious to see if it can do some serious stuff.

I highly doubt it's more powerful than the PS3, considering what developers are saying after getting their dev kits.

If we speculate ANYTHING without actually seeing anything, the PS3 and Xbox 360 are probably on the same level, and of course the Revolution is this huge revolution in gaming that we know nothing about.
