It didn't bother me until you brought it up, but right away I thought that it might be another thing inspired by mythology and religion, namely the bible. If this is the sixth iteration, the next would be the seventh iteration, much like the seventh day in Genesis? You know, to evoke ideas about creation, finishing something, yada-yada-yada.
This could also be a real boost or episodic gaming. Something like Sam & Max on the Wii seems like it'd be a perfect fit!
