Why are we acting as if this true?
Well, we aren't really. We just want more possible infos so the breakdown at e3 will less painfull.

Oh yeah, THAT would sell well to the casual market at launch. No possibility of confusion and indifference.
I wonder how many of the above posters are doing super quick stealth edits?
I edited in a cat gif >_>
Who is GAF?
Pocket Lint got trolled.
And they probably got a lot of traffic in the process.
I saw. Wonderful
Can we get some mod approval to go full on caturday? This site posting a rumor sent anonymously to all tech news sites is so wonderfully awesome. Like cats.
It will not have a desktop as part of its operating system, rather be entirely focused on playing full console-quality games.
I really can't see MS going with the name "Xbox". That just doesn't seem like a plausible possibility. It's the same name of a machine that was already released. Like for example if Sony opted to call PS4 just "PlayStation". It would be confused with the 100-million unit selling PlayStation 1, or as it was called at the time the Sony PlayStation. Because it's the same name. Same confusion would happen here.
Xbox 8 or Xbox Infinity is more plausible. Even Xbox 720 to be honest.
Tablet with a true Call of Duty, Xbox Live and the 360 controller will sell like gangbusters.
Gang.
Busters.
X-Surface has absolutely no ring to it, hope that's a code name.
Microsoft doesn't have shitty advertising like Sony. I have yet to meet someone outside my circle that knows vita exist. This will do Waaaayyyy better than vita IMHO.So Microsoft took a look at the Vita floundering like a fish out of water with its 'console experiences' and thought, "hey, we need a piece of that action"? Right.
Caturday is a banned meme around these parts though you might get lucky maybe

Xbox branding makes sense. They are already using it for music and video, and kinect voice control. And it's simpler

http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-vita/call-of-duty-black-ops-declassifiedthat's what they said about the Vita.
Believe it or this is actually one of Vita's best selling games and top selling vita bundle. I imagine that Microsoft would be able to get a CoD that doesn't suck.
What a stupid name, xbox already exists, and to top it off a lot of people I know already call the xbox 360 'my xbox' (so many years later).
3ds and wii u all over again. (and I detest armchair analysts, but this name is just so fucking stupid).
Even though the Pocket Lint article is almost certainly complete bullshit, these rumours have been around for a while now, for example: -Any rumor that includes Microsoft building a portable game platform rings false to me.
Dat Microsoft $$$$$$. Not to mention that Activision and Microsoft have a fantastic relationship.Oh im sure, i even bought one. But that being said, it was not the saving grace and the amazing game we hoped it to be. And as it shows that Activision doesn't even care. I doubt they would put any more effort into an Xbox-mobile version.

I don't think that they would build a handheld like the Vita or 3DS, but a gaming tablet is certainly possible. Maybe it could have controls that detach from the device so it could be used like a regular tablet.
I think this thing will be backwards compatible XBLA games.Microsoft can't support two new systems simultaneously, and it would be foolish to try to break into the portable market at this point.
