Well, going by trends, I'd say that there is a good possibility that the next main playstation system will be called the Playstation 4, or PS4. I'd say it's unlikely that the next Xbox will be called Xbox 720 though. That's just a name that was made up by the community.

If the PS4 and Xbox 720 are named the PS4 and Xbox 720...then yes, I suppose their names would be PS4 and Xbox 720. A startling revelation indeed.

The Ps4 will be the Ps4. It follows the pattern.

If the new xbox system is called the 720, i will find myself a nice sledge hammer and hit it. Dumb name.

It will probably be PS4. And Xbox 720 is just god awful stupid. But then again the name 'Xbox' is stupid in itself, so I dunno.

I can garantee SONY's next gen will be called PS4 (PSfour)

As for xbox next generation, I don't know which name will be. Could be anything.

PS4 wouldn't be bad, but Xbox 720 would just be horrible. I am expecting something like "Xbox Home" or something stupid that we will just all have to get used to like the Wii.

1) Xbox 720 was a Code Name for Project Natal the fist ever mention of the Next Xbox was by Epic they just call it Next Gen Xbox

2) PS4 was mention by many Game websites not a official name just the Fact that 4 comes after 3

and XBOX comes from DirectX the original name of Xbox was going to be DirectXbox because Xbox look like a box then Shoten to Xbox thats why Xbox and Xbox360 have Advance DirectX futures from DX10 and DX11

DirectX being in the Hends of Microsoft they always give Xbox Advace DX futures before Retail PC

360 its another name for 3D full Cycle base on Grafic Arts

I hope its called the Playstation 4. I don't care what they name the xbox. 360 was a stupid name in the first place.

PS4 most likely will be its name, Xbox will have some other thing after it sort of like how "vista" and "XP" did and even though Microsoft is getting back into the numbers thing, its not likely they'd call it Xbox 3 and they can't very well do Xbox 4. Perhaps Xbox Infinity or something cheesey like that would work better.

The name 360 was because they had a vision of the xbox drawing players into a circle of gaming or something, hence a circle is 360. You are way off.

who gives a **** that is too far in the future to worry about anyway.

also how the hell many times has this fad thread already been done?

I think it has been overdone and burnt long ago and is now in the nature of beating a dead horse.

Although I have never heard of anyone beating a dead horse that is just as interesting a thought as this senseless speculation about names for systems that will not be in development for years to come.

PS4 and Xbox^3 (as in cubed) are my guesses. Names like infinity and unlimited sound like a 12 year old made them up on the spot. Out of all the companies, Sega was the best coming up with names like Master, Genesis, Saturn, Game Gear, and Dreamcast.

Why ruin a trend and tradition?

PS4 will likely be the name, get over it. Unlike the competition, at least Sony made it easier for themselves to name their future consoles. And it only makes sense.

Not sure about XBOX or Nintendo.

Playstation 4 = very likely. And PSP 2 will probably be the next handheld. Xbox will probably need to think of something new cause Xbox 720 would be pretty bad imo.

I highly doubt Microsoft will name their next console XB720, however Sony may call their next console PS4, guess we'll have to wait and see.

It makes sense when you put it in the context of its original name, "Direct X Box".

I am confused to as why anyone would think the next xbox would be called the 720. Would be a horrible name that holds no marketing power. 720 sounds like some sort of washing mashine spin cycle lol. I would not be overally supprised if it wasnt called xbox anymore. On the playstation 4 side.. i doubt that as well, I would expect sony to have the "reinventing" the gaming experince and for this need a NEW name.. So Sony *something*.

Anything other than the norm may seem like a spin off if u know what i mean. Like MGS 1, 2, 3, 4 but there were various games in the middle you didn't have to play to know the story.

PS4 will be the PS4 no doubt. Why change a formula that has worked for them. I think the Xbox 3 will be called something other than Xbox 720.

It's my understanding that MS didn't call the Xbox 360 Xbox 2 because they didn't want people to confuse it with the PS2 so they came up with 360 because it was supposed to be a complete entertainment experience, just like 360 degrees is a full circle. So I doubt they will go with 720. It really doesn't make sense, 2 full circles?

I'd go with X3 if it was me. The Microsoft X3 gaming system. Sounds like a sleek fighter jet. Sounds better than Xbox 3 any day.

Someone else said that the xbox 720 was a code name for natal but it is a natural name as lots of people use it on this site when describing the next xbox. Saying that it won't be call that.

The first xbox wasn't xbox 180 so their is no reason to assumed it will be call xbox 720. I can see MS call the xbox something like xbox: hardcore or Xbox Gamer. I know they were bad name but something to highlight the fact the next gen console will be for gamers who want the most up to date system. They will do this as they will continue supporting the 360 and Natal for casual gamer and tocompete against Wii HD.

Now Sony thinks their PS3 can do everything so i wouldn't be surprised if they just call the next console PS: PC. Sony will end up calling it PS4.

I don't really care about names. As long as they're good and don't perform like crap, I'm happy. They can name them Playstation torque and xbox cottonball or whatever, I wouldn't care.

I never made a claim to divinity...you offered that and I humbly accept :oops: If you spend a fair amount of time on this board you will have noticed that PS4 and xBox 720 threads have become a fad in recent times....there is more than one a week. someone here fantasized about the next xbox name before the 360 was in production and we have had to deal with xbox 720 threads on and off ever since. I suppose that with all the fanboys that roam the SW range it is only natural that there is also imaginary comparisons between the two imaginary consoles:P of course the console fanboys will insist on ignoring the fact that this is SYSTEM wars not CONSOLE wars and the PC will more than likely continue to clobber all the other systems exclusives....the PC does lead in exclusives, and not my a little bit by a huge margin...check the Gamespot official scores.

PS4, definitelly, Xbox720 definitelly not.

Both consoles will most likely feature native 1080p resolution so, having 720 included in the name would be baaad publicity.
