How about we all go play our Xbox 1 because thats why we bought it. Xbox didnt come out just so a new system could come out a year or 2 later...use what you have now and dont worry about Xbox 2 until the time comes...which i hope isnt for about 3-5 years.

Actually, I bought mine so I could speculate about the future generations of the console.

Seriously tho, I don't think anyone was talking about a time frame for a new console. Just throwing around some ideas for names to pass the time.

mmhmm.. Thank you sir obvious. But, if I wish to discuss Xbox150 I may, its just a harmless thread.

Anyways, I like X2

Ex. Gamecube = GCN
Ex. Playstation2 = PS2

I still like mine best, but DZNutz is pretty good too.
NextBox or XNext?
NBox and XNext. Nbox is a cooler abreviation, so it's decided! :) No, just kidding.

EXBox = Extreme Box
THEBOX = The box to end all other boxes.

Nothing beats the beer box I guess.:)

HAHA u sure did 'spark' some converstion. I think it'll be just simply be Xbox2. I donno bout the terminator (lol). But ya never know!!

LynxFX
05-23-2002, 03:28 PM
LynxBox ;)

I think it will be Xbox2 though. Microsoft is trying to make a household name out of the Xbox brand. To change the name would send most of their progress down the drain.

UltimateAg
05-23-2002, 03:29 PM
or how about calling it Green With Envy, GWE.

I got it BuddhaBox. Because it's the way to enlightenment.

thats a very good point I hadn't taken into consideration. Can you imagine in 4-5 years we'll be on forums complaining that Xbox2 got delayed and bla bla bla :)

i dont want it to be called xbox2. thats sooo unoriginal. its almost as bad as when sony named their next system the ps2.:D

05-23-2002, 03:35 PM
Or worse, in 4-5 years we all buy playstation 3's because all the games that came out for xbox sucked.

RadRider

I don't think it'll be the Xbox 2, since Sony already used that convention (and probably will again, and again, and again until Microsoft finally buys them out).
I think a future name may or may not have the Xbox title in it, provided it is absolutely clear that it's the next generation Xbox system.
Considering that the Xbox is named after the directX API it uses, I think it's fair to assume that trend would follow in the future. But, to try and not end up naming the Xbox 2, Microsoft might come up with a new API parallel to DirectX (think Windows NT and 95 type of thing) that could possibly be an enhanced/modified version of DirectX, used solely for the Console. I'm not talking a whole new API, just a new API with a few new specific features for the console. Of course in this case, the API might get named after the new system or the system after the API, and it'd be hard to tell which was named first. So then the whole point of choosing the name would be back to where we started, except I think in advertisements we'd see things like: XXBox (get it?): the sequel to the Xbox, or something like that, so that potential buyers know it's the next Xbox.

I think that is the most likely. Probably be pronounced "Xbox Squared".

Whatever the name is they surely wouldn't drop Xbox from it.

i really like xbox squared, thats a cool name for the second xbox. they should call it that:D

I hope to god they dont use anything with x or box in it. get creative guys i mean my god everything youve been thinking of has already been used in the sense that it includes the word box or an x or some movie title or something. I know what your thinking but nothing with cube in it either!when the gamecube was known as the dolphin i thought that was a sweet ass name. Besides everyone knows xbox is microsoft so they dont need to incorporate andything to do with any previous systems. Personally i would like something like "Delphi" or "Ceog (Complete Entertainment Online Gaming)". Get creative and use Different grammatical "operations" if you will. Thats what we all took school for isnt it, so we can think for ourselves.

i think they should name it "Future"

Microsoft Future. That has a good tingle to it.. and people would ask "hey! do you own a future?"

or something with future in it.

Snoopy7548
05-23-2002, 08:05 PM

they should name it, "The 25,000 Dollar Gaming Pyramid Scheme." and if you lose a game an eye on top of the pyramid (like the back of the one dollar bill) glows green then shoots a laser beam out of it and burns you to death. :)

I wasn't talking about the games out now, I was talking about all the new games coming to xbox. I said the worst that can happen is in 4-5 years we all buy ps3's becuz ALL the games that ever came out on xbox sucked.

URANUS imagine the marketing. Grab a game and slap it in URANUS. Invite your friends over to play with URANUS. URANUS everybody's gonna want it! Even grandma wants to play with URANUS. Plug an ethernet cable into URANUS and your ready for online gaming.

they should name it after an animal, like atari used to, you know Jaguar, Lynx, and Nintendo was gonna with the Nintendo Dolphin.

here are a few ideas:

1. Microsoft Tit (you know the bird)
2. Microsoft Emu (emus don't get enough play)
3. Microsoft Koala (tribute to the Australian gamers)
4. Microsoft Penguin (aren't they endangered or something, it'll do good for MS's image.
