I would prefer "Xbox" or "The Xbox" over "The New Xbox"

'The New' would surely just be for early marketing though, then after it would be simply 'Xbox'.

I don't like it either, but they like taking cues from apple.

That is something I feel that you can only get away with on the Tablet/Smartphone market and even then Apple still uses numbers to address them.

Maybe. But the link in the top left corner says "The New Xbox" and brought to a 404 page.

What is the URL? It should be in your history! Check it! URL will give away a lot of information. DON'T LET US DOWN!

Nintendo really fucked up. A whole year headstart and nothing.

You don't think branding is important?

A lot of people still think Wii U is just an etension of the Wii and don't know it's a new console all together. I would say it's..kind of important.

Microsoft won't be as inept with their marketing that people won't understand this is a new, better console. If they market it as the new Xbox, and it's simply called Xbox officially, that's fine.

haven't they learned that adding "New" is stupid?

New Super Mario Bros
New iPad

bleh

Both of those examples have sold like hotcakes. So stupid or not, it makes business sense.

MS following Apple. The "New" XBox

So that means they're not doing anything new to the outer design and just change more money for small upgrades of power?

beanman25 · Jan 30, 2013

Feel like it's nothing about a new console, but more with phones and such. We'll see though.

I certainly hope that all of you who don't like them using "Xbox" don't consider "Xbox 720" to be better.

Because that's just plain nonsensical.

I think it makes a lot of sense. My objection to using the same name for 2 different devices of the same kind is that it makes discussing them confusing for no good reason. Any new name, even "Xbox 720", does not have this problem.

That and, I think enough time has gone by from the original xbox release that it won't be an issue. Wii U followed the Wii. So it makes sense there would be more brand confusion.

VOOK · Jan 30, 2013

I can use web developer tools too.

Also, they'd want the old Xbox 360 on the menu still too right, not just replace Xbox + Kinect with the new one.

Did it earn anybody extra sales, or did it sell in spite of the name? I don't believe just calling it "The New..." confers any sales benefits at all.

This sounds just like this then. The current slim chassis is perfect for this and it fits with the front page ad.

Xbox will be he name of the roku type device.

They will call the real console xbox something for sure.

My call.

There's just a slim there. Could be a new dash or something, but nothing huge.

What else is Microsoft going to call "The New Xbox" besides the new Xbox?

Xbox is what MS calls their whole game/entertainment services now.

aegies · Jan 30, 2013

Could this just be part of pushing Xbox as a cross-platform brand onto Windows 8?

How many people still talk about the original xbox? There is no way they go with 'xbox 720'. To closely associated with 720P Imo.

So did someone besides the OP actually see this?

Did some digging on the site and the entertainment section has the same "new experience" line so maybe no reason to go ape-shit.

I was pasting links to try different combinations and accidentally linked that one. It was definitely not new-xbox.

Why does the OP picture have different colors and logos, looks worse than before.

I wish MS would stop trying to be like Apple in terms of marketing. Regardless, we're gonna have a showdown here.

Console reveal first, name reveal at E Triple. They're not going to just call it Xbox. See: WiiU.

They're just going to call it Xbox. It's better than any Super Xbox, Xbox 2 2 , xxBox, Xbox 720, or Xbox Infinity concept that's been thrown around.
