If no one buiys the system, it doesn't matter how good the games are, and YES the name does matter when it comes to marketing. The name is what the console will be kjnown by, and if it sounds lame then lameness will be associated with it. Why do you think Nintendo axed the Daolphin name for their console? LAME.

You sir, are LAME...

Lame joke aside, you both have a point (Puppet and Strangler)...

Yeh, sure, the hardcore gamers wont give a rats arse about the name of a console, as long as the games on it will be good. But then again, it's the casual gamers who are the majority buyers, and base some of their decisions on something as shallow as the name of a console.

I think even Xbox 2 would be a better name than Xbox Next. Then again, could that just be the code name?

That's a smart move by Microsoft. That Xbox gekko posted looks nice and small, perfect for Japanese audiences, and non Giants. Can't wait to get me one

I wonder how many of those you can ship at one time. Or better yet hold in one store, if any.
