Thought that this might deserve its own thread.

Anyways the new movie Real Steel appears to have advertisements for the Xbox 720 in it, with the Bing advertisements I think its safe to say Microsoft put the 720 logo in the movie.

Picture:

(click for larger image)

Here is the trailer where the logo was spotted, its around the 0:46 mark.

EDIT: I personally do not believe that the system will be called the Xbox 720

 

[nomis]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[greycolumbus]

It was amusing seeing that in the movie when I watched it. Not sure if its thread worthy though.

 

[mescalineeyes]

Sure, because not only will Microsoft go with that silly a name, but reuse the old logo, too. Ugh.

 

[Mr_Appleby]

two 360's duct-taped confirmed?

 

[Bloodsent]

Fake futuristic ad?

 

[gofreak]

I don't believe they're actually going to call it Xbox 720. We sure it's not a edit?

Although (much) stranger things have happened, especially with game system naming.

edit - oh so it really is in the movie? I think it's just someone having a larf then.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Don't think MS would go with the 720 name, but damn, hype!

 

[BocoDragon]

Whatever... Sony advertised PS9 eleven years ago.

 

[Majine]

But it's exactly the same...

 

[Daigoro]

Fake futuristic ad?

probably.

 

[itsgreen]

Yeah, I thought this was just some artistic freedom...

Considering the october 2011 release date...

 

[Foil]

I seriously doubt that ends up the final name. It's likely just a temp until they figure out what they actually want to name it. Similar to how Nintendo showed us the Revolution before naming it the Wii.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Twice the chance of red rings of death in every box!

 

[Nonoriri]

Sure, because not only will Microsoft go with that silly a name, but reuse the old logo, too. Ugh.

I'll remind you that they called their first console: Xbox and the successor to that console: Xbox 360.

 

[wwm0nkey]

yes but they made that video, they didn't have to pay for product placement

 

[itsgreen]

It probably has a special codename that starts with a X

 

[SLEEPS7ALK3R]

Could be false advertising. I mean, c'mon. XBOX 720??? It sounds too fucking stupid, even for Microsoft.

 

[Revenant]

could be a early spot of some sort, or it could be a playful joke like how in I am Legend ( which took place in the early future) had a Batman VS Superman ad in deserted times square.

 

[Seik]

It kinda looks fake, the logo is still the same. o_o

EDIT:

3DS and Wii U has similar logos to their previous platforms too. Minus the 3 and U, of course.

True that.

 

[Chesskid1]

i am legend had some pretty sweet ads iirc

Didn't that movie get canned?

 

[herod]

Xbox 720p

 

[snoopeasystreet]

Bing will still exist in the future?

 

[BocoDragon]

Bing will still exist in the future?

lol

 

[stilgar]

It's faker than fake. C'mon "Bing"? Who would call a company like that??

 

[Salih]

brb gonna post it on n4g.

...

 

[[Nintex]]

Xbox 720 will launch at the end of 2012, why everyone is trying to convince themselves otherwise is beyond me.

 

[Ushojax]

Even if it is real, surely it's just a little joke? Like Batman/Superman movie in I Am Legend.

 

[BocoDragon]

Actually now that I look closely.. I'm disgusted Capital One survives into the future. I hate that company.

 

[Rapstah]

They woulda never banger their console after the next generation's counterpart to our sub-hd, and the internal codename is probably nothing like anything. A joke.

 

[GavinGT]

Seriously, 360 at least made some sense, in that it was marketed as a complete entertainment package. 720, on the other hand, just sounds like they're spinning their wheels.

 

[jooey]

brb gonna post it on n4g.

...

in the future it's n5g

 

[Majine]

Bing will still exist in the future?

I see no googles in that trailer. MS second wind?

 

[OceansAndEarth]

They are gonna name it Xbox 720? C'mon, lol.

 

[Kenka]

The action in the movie is set during year 2020. That would most probably be a tentative name for the fourth generation of Xboxes.

 

[TheOddOne]

I'll remind you that they called their first console: Xbox and the successor to that console: Xbox 360.

LIES.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Well regardless with all the rumors going around and the news about a new Xbox coming out soon we will probably hear about the Xbox Successor at E3...actually I think its pretty much guaranteed we will hear something at E3.

 

[samus4ever]

Will it be like that fake Xbox they had in The Island? I'm still waiting for that system to come out.

 

[Tony Rocky Horror]

Xbox 720 will launch at the end of 2012, why everyone is trying to convince themselves otherwise is beyond me.

How would you know?

 

[jgminto]

What is more surprising is than Bing is still active in the future. Who the fuck uses Bing?

 

[wwm0nkey]

hey Bing gives me free space bucks

 

[AllenShrz]

That is a very stupid name.

Hopefully they wont use it at the end

 

[snoopeasystreet]

This isn't coming out for a while. We're still waiting on the 360 that turns into robot that we saw in transformer.

 

[BocoDragon]

So when do the franchise wars begin? I'm not necessarily betting on Taco Bell. Demolition Man was merely fiction.

 

[GavinGT]

Set in the near future, where robot boxing is a top sport

Yeah, this should totally be taken seriously.

 

[JMizzlin]

Guys, that's called humor.

 

[Tony Rocky Horror]

Hey guys remember when we thought Xbox 360 was a stupid name? Or the Wii? Or the Vita? Or Kinect?

 

[wwm0nkey]

Yeah, but people will complain about the name for a week and get used to it just like everything else....well maybe not the WiiU
