are we perhaps skipping a generation here? where's the 480 rendition? are we basing our name precognition on rudimentary addition? (360+360= 720?) the PS5 will be competing with the Xbox 1440 and the appropriately rhymed "Wii 3"? i'd like to think that they are simply instilling a new "spin" on word substitution! so the foundation of it is that Microsoft is masterfully replacing "quality" with "resolution". this is why the Xbox 360 fails to operate functionally so very often! as they are engineering each system to be SLIGHTLY more competent failure rate-wise as a result! because as we all well all know, "360p" is the second to lowest resolution available on Youtube! this explains the lack of substantial, quality titles on the original Xbox (or "Xbox 240" as it is less commonly referred to as)! if so, we can expect great things indeed from the Xbox 720 and 1080 in the future! because as we all well know, 720p and 1080p are the highest resolutions indeed.

partially accurate! fortuitously, in the process of walking forward where there is no space to be had, you intrude on it's position on the table it's residing on and send it spiraling downwards to the marble floor below! how's that for improvement?!

I think your wrong...if you walk up and turn 480 degrees you'll be facing the opposite direction if you turn 720 degrees you'll facing the Xbox again. Ahhh...failed jokes.

TC, its called "360" because of a decision made by the marketing department. When consumers heard Playstation 3 and Xbox 2, they would naturally assume the "3" is newer. So "360" was born, and the marketing campaign of "jump in" was born.

360 was the name given because its one "revolution" which they wanted to compete with the wii, i think before it was named nintendo revolution or something like that, and they wanted it to with ps3, 3... 360 so it doesn't sound inferior. I think 720 is the code name, if it were me i think they'd appeal to more people if they made the xbox 420 and put the large green x back on top but deform it to look like a leaf...

My friend thinks that the next Xbox should be called Xbox Ultimate, or the Xbox Evolution. Then again, he is 12. I wonder what would happen if they made the name Xboxinatious, or Xboxintatious, Xboximus, xboxAMOUS. Microsoft has to deeply consider this stuff and come up with a cool name while Sony just makes the system and puts Playstation 4 on it.

The reason it was named the Xbox 360 instead of the Xbox 2 was because it would have sounded inferior to the Playstation 3. I can garrentee you that the next Xbox will not be named the Xbox 720, not only does it sound stupid but it would lead the customer to believe that it was only capable of 720p.

If you turned around 480 degrees you would walk to the right of the Xbox. A 720 would have you spin around twice and still be facing the 360
