TokyoKiller Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Well lets see if it succeeds and then we can start guessing if there is an Xbox next gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix XII Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 It already has succeeded! :D It won't be the Xbox 720 or Xbox 3 It'll be the Xbox: "something" They chose "360" because it sounds similar to the PS3 (both with 3's)... they didn't want to have an Xbox 2, and Sony has a PS 3, get it? It would make MS sound inferior, even though the Xbox 2 would have been the same as the 360, it's all marketing :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEMO.INC Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 It depends, if there is a PS4 they are going to use an arbitrary number with 4 so they are not "behind" in the name. much like PS3 and Xbox 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myNando Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Xbox: 4U See what I did there? The "4" is so when PS4 comes out, it won't sound inferior. And the "U" is because it's YOUR OWN PERSONAL SUPER-COMPUTER!!!! LOL <~ idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheppard Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 (edited) They chose "360" because it sounds similar to the PS3 (both with 3's)... they didn't want to have an Xbox 2, and Sony has a PS 3, get it? It would make MS sound inferior, even though the Xbox 2 would have been the same as the 360, it's all marketing :p <snip> they chose the name 360 because it signifys the 360 degree nature of the xbox, not only encompassing single player, but media playback as well as online gaming therefore covering every aspect of digital lifestyle the whole 360 degrees. Sony has the mentality of "oh just put an incremental number on the name and people will buy it because its playstation" keep it civil please n thanks ;) Edited July 1, 2006 by John S.

dreamthief Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Dont talk out your ass, they chose the name 360 because it signifys the 360 degree nature of the xbox, not only encompassing single player, but media playback as well as online gaming therefore covering every aspect of digital lifestyle the whole 360 degrees. Sony has the mentality of "oh just put an incremental number on the name and people will buy it because its playstation" well that's not the only reason. What Matrix XII said was correct. Microsoft wants to level both products, consumer won't think Xbox is any inferior. It was stated somewhere, PCGamer or some gaming website, can't recall. *EDIT* Q: Why Xbox 360? Why didn't they call it Xbox 2?A: As various Microsoft executives have noted, Xbox 2 is a fine name until you realize that Sony's next machine will be called the PlayStation 3, which sounds newer and more powerful. The Xbox 360 name was chosen to imply that the gamer is at the center of the Xbox experience. Even Mr Paul here has that kind of idea behind the 360 name.

Sony has the mentality of "oh just put an incremental number on the name and people will buy it because its playstation" Actually, you're wrong... Microsoft admitted in the beginning of the announcement of the name that it didnt want an Xbox 2 versus a Playstation 3 where the consumers might think "Oh, 3 is a bigger number, thus better" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartan_X Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 (edited) Xbox ... put some nonsense thins follow Microsoft vs Sony = France vs Brazil => big time ownage! :devil: :laugh: :rofl: :p :shifty: :whistle: nothing last forever you know... :rolleyes: Back on topic... The name for the Xbox 360 was picked based on some of the following meanings: Xbox 360 = PS3: marketing term for parents/grandparents/relatives/newbies that buys consoles based on a numbering sequence. 360 = revolution: Nintendo Revolution AKA Wii. 360 = full spin: entirely new hardware platform. 360 = circle: the user at the center of the gaming experience not the console. 360 = circle: the ?ring of light? MotMicrosoft:<It's Good to Play Together.[quJuan-Les-Pins - France - 16th September 2003 ??? Xbox? today revealed a new brand positioning for Xbox in Europe and worldwide. The brand positioning is supported by a new tagline, ?it?s good to play together,? which highlights the unique social and competitive gaming experiences that only Xbox can bring to gamers everywhere.

Play in ouray in ours. Well? take a good guess or ask the almighty Ken Kutaragi about what that means? :rolleyes: As for the name of the next Xbox I?m sure the marketing guys will try to avoid the use of numbers on its name for logi:sl reasons. :yes: :shifty: :whistle: Edited July 2, 2006 by Spartan_X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambience Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Sony: Live in your world. Play in ours. I can't see what's ambiguous or confusing about that. Undoubtedly, it suggests that Sony is creates a world within which you can play and enjoy. There's no need to ask Kutaragi what it means because it's inherently clear.
