When has a system with a cool name ever been sucessful?
Sega Saturn
Jaguar
N-Gage
NeoGeo
Hell Nintendo just added "Super" to their name and that system did quit well.

I think XBOX 360 is a bad name. Xenon or XBOX 2 sounds much better.

I think threads like these should die.

I think people that don't like a specific thread should stay the hell out of said thread so they don't waste their own time and the time of other members.

This is true! However, I still think a little more creativity can go into the name.

Honestly, I could care less what they call it. I'm loyal to Microsoft, and I am already set on getting this system regardless if the PS3 or Nintendo Revolution are more powerful. I don't hate the Xbox 360 name, but I do agree, they could do better. Still, I be there first day with $500 on hand to get it and some games.

teh siggy is relevant.

Anyways, i remember back when the dreamcast came out, it was just so harsh on the tongue. Dream Caster makes more sense in english, i thought it was some horrible translation problem, but eithe way, my point is that the system was fun as hell and today the name is as fitting as the first time i heard "xbox". although 360is waaay too many sylabbles for my taste, im sure poeple will end up calling it xbox anyways.

"hey man you wanna come over and play some xbox?"
"you mean xbox 360?"
"you have way too much time on your hands" :cheers:

If the name really matters all that much don't buy it. That simple.

Are you saying Xbox 2 is more creative? I personally think Xenon would be better buy Xbox 360 would be better than Xbox 2.

I like xenon the best, but i will get used to the name so it doesn't really matter.

I wouldn't give a shat if it was called Xbox: Snot and Dingleberries

Xbox:Ewwww
Xbox: Straight Sucks
Xbox: Bin Laden
Xbox: May cause testicular cancer

it doesn't matter, it is not the name that anyone is going to care about if the console kicks arse!! Stop trying to fool yourself.

I'm in. I don't think there's anything they could name it that would stop me from buying it.... unless it had "Canada Sucks" in there somewhere, lol.
