So how does Microsoft name the next Xbox now?

Xbox Qbed

it capitalizes on various naming trends

Q is an attempt to appeal to people who like exotic letters
pronounced 'cubed' it refers to the 3rd exponential increase in the Xbox line
Cube was once used by a gaming platform, therefore Xbox Qbed is a gaming platform
Q was also used by a gaming platform, therefore Xbox Qbed is doubly a gaming platform

I think a huge part of calling this gen's Miscrosoft console the 'Xbox 360' was because they were up against Sony's third gen console, Playstation 3. There was no way they wanted to look inferior by calling it Xbox 2 while playstation had the 3 to their name. So now how does MS name the new xbox, since the new playstation is PS4? Will it be "Xbox: subtitle" or just "Xbox"? imo just 'xbox' sounds weak and even the '360' this time was kind of a lame name.

Kinectbox?
I can't tell if you're being serious with the logic behind that, but I think the smartest move will be to just roll with Xbox 720.

I see only one of four names happening:

Xbox Loop
Xbox 8 (to match Windows 8)
Xbox (although it would confuse with the original Xbox)
The New Xbox

They up their RAM to 10 (still using the inferior RAM), then promote the hell out of that and call the system "XBox X" or "XBox Ten" or whatever, and dumb people think that the system is superior, even though it's cheaper than PS4, and Microsoft continues to charge fools for online play and runs away with next-gen.

:(

You're hired.
