A look back over the years at some console codenames....

Stella -> Atari 2600

Project Reality -> Nintendo 64

Dural -> Sega Dreamcast

Xbox -> Xbox

Oxygen -> Game Boy Micro

Nitro -> Nintnedo DS

CTR -> Nintendo 3DS

Xenon -> Xbox 360

Durango -> ???

NGP -> PS Vita

Cell -> PlayStation 3

Orbis -> PlayStation 4

Revolution -> Nintendo Wii

statham · May 2, 2013

Revolution was the best.

AgentLampshade · May 2, 2013

I still think the majority of codenames are better than their actual names.

If the actual console is called the "X-Box 360-2" I shall laugh. Nay, cackle.

Xbox Fusion.

It sounds reasonable. And it would fit with their high level message of Xbox being a place for all kinds of entertainment - 'fusing' TV, games, music, movies etc.

So hidden in Kryptos is ARM IP to support all kinds of entertainment - 'fusing' TV, games, music, movies etc. Fusing Handheld with a Game Console

You do realize Fusion and Infinite were words before cars existed right?

What am I saying, you're just looking for any excuse you can to troll the Xbox.

How about Xbox Oxigen?

If they are going for that, I recommend Xbox Vulcan Mind Meld

FonkyByNature · May 2, 2013

Xbox is already an ugly teenage like name, now Xbox Fusion ? lol...

ALAN ULTIMATE · May 2, 2013

Well the "Xbox" moniker isn't going to change any time soon.

It's what M$ have decided to use as a suffix that will have us all talking come 21st May 2013.

It may well be "Xbox Fusion"

Tyrax · May 2, 2013

Sounds more like the name of a feature than a console

Duffyside · May 2, 2013

I think that's a pretty good name. Buuuuuut...

Don't know if old but www.xboxfusion.com now redirects to www.xbox.com. Infact, XboxFusion.info, XboxFusion.biz, XboxFusion.de, XboxFusion.co.uk; they all do.

Don't think it did before.

Wasn't the Dreamcast called the Katana or something? Gamecube was Project Dolphin.

Miles Quaritch · May 3, 2013

A fusion of different gaming experiences? Kinect, cloud, illumiroom and their 3d glasses - forza something.

Blueblur1 · May 3, 2013

Also, earlier today I saw the Amazon Games twitter account retweet Joystiq's Xbox Fusion domain names story. I wonder if some retailers could know what's up this early?

Xbox 360 SoC in Xbox 720 APU = Fusion!!

Would be cool. I really like the Illumniroom concept and the Flz. glasses would be a cool addition as well.

ciridesu · May 3, 2013

Fusion sounds so 50's and makes me feel like a chemical engineer or something: 'hey bro come to ours lets play some fusion'. Is it possible to pick a less cool name; hope it's just some feature, and the rumours about the name being infinity are closer to the truth

-COOLIO- · May 3, 2013

still banking on 'xbox'

statham · May 3, 2013

Xbox Mini = Fusion
Xbox 720 = Infinite
Bundle = Xbox Infinite Fusion.

Fusion makes sense if the console supports those additional features. Infinite is better though.

No way in hell.

Keep in mind the current console is called Xbox 360

What seems so far fetched about Fusion? Everyone will get used to the name in time anyways.

jaypah · May 3, 2013

They can call it Xbox Bootyjuice at this point, i just want to see it. "Jump In the Bootyjuice"

But surely they want to reveal the official name at 21, not today linking the XboxFusion domain with Xbox.com.

El_Chino · May 3, 2013

I have a feeling "Xbox Fusion" is probably a service or an add on for the next Xbox.

I know we're all supposed to be sophisticated gamers or whatever, but I actually do care what the name is. I mean I'm going to see the name for the next half decade or so. I mean it would never dissuade me from purchasing a console, but I just hope it's not dumb.

Infinite sounds great, Infinite too. Fusion sounds cool enough. I do like the "Xbox" idea though.

not necessarily.

statham · May 3, 2013

no idea, maybe the new name for kinect?

XtremeXpider · May 3, 2013

Or a new service, Xbox Video + Xbox TV for example. Or the new Xbox Live xD

Looking at some more domain names, it look someone registered xboxfusiongames.com and freexboxfusion.com back in January.

It looks like James Booth owns the domain booth.com which is business that buys premium domain names. xboxfusion.com has been registered since 2004 so did this guy find something out back in January or did he just recently stumble on that domain name and decide to purchase it just in case?

Izick · May 4, 2013

My guess is Fusion is their answer to PS+.

Camp Lo · May 4, 2013

Xbox Infinity is excellent

Always on because it's fusion powered.

Xbox 4
Xbox 3 being the slim 360.
A few will bitch the rest won't give a shit.

Azull · May 4, 2013

At least we know it will be healthy.

BRocknRolla · May 4, 2013

Infinite/Infinity sounds far better. Why Fusion? In what way does that make you think next gen?

I mean, of course it's all nonsense anyway, but I really think a marketing team would be stretching on something like fusion.

Rumor: Next Xbox to be named 'Xbox Fusion' according to domain names
