Next Generation Xbox To Be Called Xbox 360?

Posted by Zonk on Monday February 7, 2005 @06:32AM from the wrap-around-xboxen dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Gamesite Engadget has a story claiming via a trusted source that says the next generation Xbox (codename Xenon) will be called Xbox 360." From the article: "Our source, who has worked on several projects involving the Xbox and the Xbox 360, has seen the proposed packaging and other design elements for the new console..last year a marketing firm conducted a survey where they asked people whether they thought Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, or Nintendo N5 sounded more 'next-gen'."

I don't know... Do you have a source for that? It looks to me that Edelman is all about the xbox, just google them. I don't think anyone knows what the name is really going to be, I know that xbox 360 is one of them (check previous post). And why would Sony care about PS3 sounding futuristic enough when we all know that was M$'s big fear with calling it xbox 2
