Come up with a better shorthand for the possible next Xbox. One that can catch on.

Not what I was getting at, but I think the reasoning was that xbox 2 sounds worse than PS3, higher number and all that. :P Could be wrong bust I swear that's what I read back in the day.

You are absolutely right. We know that the Xbox 2 and PS3 (if it were called that way) were pretty close to eachother when it comes to power, but your average gamer would go with the console that has the highest number because it 'looks' better.

Same reason the PS Vita wasn't called the PSP2 when the 3DS had a '3' in it.

They actually managed to beat Nintendo last gen. Surprising, considering the Gamecube was a much better system overall, outside of a few games and Xbox LIVE.

I sometimes like saying 720 more than Durango, but I also don't always like 720 either, so I'll say next Xbox or something like that; depends on what mood I'm in.

Haha :P. But that really is the reasoning of the average consumer. Same why games (and so many things) are priced at 59,99 and not 60. The difference is really small but in the eye of consumers the first is a way better deal.

It's funny because in college all of the foreign students gained weight. All of them. Wonder why.....

You shouldn't generalize. I do podcasts with my church group. There's few of us, but we manage. I'll PM some information. You can join us, and listen in. We talk about all the things wrong in the world. I'll talk with them about the issues on generalization. Should make for a good topic.
