Re: Lazy, Unimaginative Console Naming?

If I was making a new console, I would call it a Chazwazza.

Here is a new article concerning potential names for the next Xbox system. Microsoft does not really want "Xbox 2" which sounds inferior to "Playstation 3", but it is on the list. Notice no "Xbox Next".

Potential Names:


Xbox 247
Xbox 360
Xbox 2
Xbox E
Xbox EV
Xbox FS
Xbox HD
Xbox NE

What the hell?! Man I really like the name Xbox-Next. I'm guessing that 247 and 360 will be used like this 24/7 and 360 as in number of days a year. The 24/7 idea could work but 360 is just dumb.

Also what is the signifance of the abreviations? The only one I know is HD for High Def.

Only thing is that there are 365 days in a year. Are they suggesting to take 5 off? I think they are talking 360 as in 360 degrees. Complete circle

All good points, man. But you sort of illustrated my point with this line from your post:

&gt;&gt;&gt;Given my experience working there, this "average" consumer either is acting on a SPECIFIC directive from their children("I need a Playstation")&lt;&lt;&lt;

Again, kids tell Mom and Dad they want a PlayStation, not a Sony PlayStation or a new Sony console. PlayStation is synonymous for videogaming in most of the world, and Sony would be nuts to change the name because of that huge brand equity.

Take care,
