There will never be an Xbox 720. It's like people don't even know why the 360 was called the 360

i don't believe anything has been released by microsoft. and phoenix, please enlighten us as to why the xbox 360 was indeed named with "360". also, tell us why it won't be called the 720, and what it will be called instead.

No, nothing officially has been released from Microsoft. I'm pretty sure if Microsoft officially released something, you would know.

There were two reasons why it was called the Xbox 360. The main one was because it was a second generation Xbox against a third generation PlayStation, and didn't want the idiotic masses to buy the PS3 over the Xbox 2 because of the numbers. Obviously, it worked because the 360 was very successful. Secondly, the Xbox 360, back when HD DVD wasn't dead, was meant to be a full entertainment device, giving users a 360 degree entertainment experience. To be called the Xbox 720 wouldn't make any sense at all. You can't get a 720 degree experience, and it won't help with sales any, because most gamers know what they'll buy next gen, and those who don't will probably buy whatever they feel is worth the money.

Microsoft will name the next Xbox... The Xbox4.1 ... That way when people go to the store and see it next to a PS4... they will be like "Well this one says 4.1 so it must be better..."

Rumors... fisherman's tales, if you ask me! And as to the name, 720 would be a horrible choice for a name. As Phoenix said, it's pointless. And 720 degrees = 360 degrees, so to hell with that.

Microsoft should make an Xbox 900 and release a bunch of Tony Hawk games for it.

The 360 was called XBOX 360 so that it can compete with the PS3. If they call it XBOX 2, then people might get confuse and think that its outdated when the PS3 comes out. Because its called XBOX 2. Hear the no 2, some people might think that its the same as the PS2. The other reason they call it XBOX 360 because the green light that spins in 360 degree.

Not this again. I wish everyone would drop the next XBox naming. We will know what that name will be once Microsoft says something about it. Enough said. Next topic...

No dickhead would call aconsole xbox 720, most likely if they make a new xbox they could change it completely or just might go back tojust"xbox"
