Just call it "The Xbox" and be done with it.
That's a terrible idea and Apple has shown this for themselves recently.
Right now if you go into a Best Buy you are greeted to three iPads.
iPad
iPad 2
iPad Mini
I was talking to a gentleman who was looking at them(I don't work at BestBuy) he was clearly not tech savvy and was looking to buy a tablet for his wife. His first reaction was to buy the newest and best iPad so he clearly went with the iPad 2... but wait a minute that isn't the best iPad it's two generations old in fact.
I had to spend 4-5 minutes showing him and explaining to him that in fact the "iPad" was the superior and newer model.
Bottom line we've already had a Xbox and calling the next Xbox just Xbox would only confuse the normal public.

Yes I understand that Microsoft won't be selling the original Xbox and the new one side by side but it is still confusing.
For this reason I don't think Playstation is ever going to get rid of the numerical generation naming.
Did this happen before they officially announced the PS4?
Xbox 720 and Infinity have always been fan-made names if I remember correctly.
Fear my amazing GIMP skills...

The name for their new, non gaming subscription service.
Oh fuck...
http://startfy14.com/ (seems to be a kickoff for MS employees)
take a look at the agenda:
https://ustproduction.blob.core.win...5/START_FY14_Event_Agenda_and_Information.pdf
It's definitely a MS product...
edit: invite only means the are still keeping it under the wraps. So the announcement should be AFTER this event. (which is from march 4th to 7th)
Invite only means I assume it's an internal Microsoft showcase.
We need to get Sam Fisher into the Q Nightclub at 9am March 7th.
The Gold standard! I'm feeling it. Let it be real.
King Midas would have been proud to call this one his own.
No way, thats the sub service. It will just be called "Xbox".
If it is gold I hope the power brick is golden lol.
As if the acid-green wasn't horrible enough. Yikes!
