Microsoft needs to have the courage to call the next Xbox, Xbox 5.

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Xbox=Xbox 1
Xbox 360=Xbox 2
Xbox One=Xbox 3
Xbox One X=Xbox 4
Next Xbox=Xbox 5

Call it Xbox 5

Because after the first one, these names have been completely horrible.

Just awful.

And I fear for what will come next.

Now, is the Xbox One X really the Xbox 4? No, definitely not, but that's the justification you can use to call the next one Xbox 5 and you really need to do so because the people who name the systems are horrible at naming things.

 

[TheInfinityGauntlet]

They should call it the Xbox 6

 

[JohnMichonski]

It's not the 5th Xbox.

They should call it the Xbox 6

That would seem more ridiculous, but Xbox 6 is still a better name than all their prior names.

 

[RoboPlato]

They're going to call it Xbox 10 or some shit

 

[CaptainKashup]

I think you meant Xbox One X Box.

 

[Glimpse_Dog]

That would seem more ridiculous, but Xbox 6 is still a better name than all their prior names.

6 is more than 5.

 

[Rommaz]

Xbox One Two and
Xbox Two
Are the only acceptable names.

 

[modiz]

its not the 5th xbox generation, so no.

they will call it xbox infinite (although i guess its not the infinite generation either ;p).

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

6 is more than 5.

It's true.

 

[JTSilver]

Makes sense to me. They went from Windows 8 to 10, so why not?

 

[Lant_War]

Call it the Xbox One again. Power move. Pretend that this one didn't exist.

 

[Deleted member 14377]

X Box V "bro, wanna play some V?", "You gettin' an ecks vee?"

 

[Theorry]

First it will be Xbox 4. Its the 4th console. But that is marketing wise a bad idea. Because 4 is less then 5. Wich for "casuals" means its less. If you compare to PS5.

 

[Maple]

It's not the 5th Xbox.

Click to shrink...

It's the 5th discrete version of Xbox hardware.

Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox One X.

Even though the X was part of the same generation, the hardware configuration was definitely different (GPU, memory systems, etc).

Scarlett will be the 5th Xbox with unique hardware that differs from its predecessors. I think Xbox 5 is an apt name.

 

[Aokiji]

You want them to call the 4th Xbox, Xbox 5 ????

 

[PROh1bited]

Xbox 720, do it.

 

[Bear and bird]

Xbox Ten.

Xtend your play with Game Pass.

Coming 10/10/2020

(I know October 10th 2020 is on a saturday, but work with me here)

 

[Dongs Macabre]

Xbox 4pi

 

[xxracerxx]

The name is going to be something, that is for sure.

 

[nsilvias]

call it the xbox 720 or xbox 4k

 

[Manmademan]

Xbox One Two and
Xbox Two
Are the only acceptable names.

Click to shrink...

It will be the Next Box One

 

[ExtremelyBitter]

If it's coming out in 2020 just make it the Xbox '20

Bring back them Win98 feels

(also at this point I think they should just commit to always using numbers in a way that makes no sense as brand identity)

 

[egg]

Xbox 5 you say? So The XV.
That would eally fuck with people lol.
I came to preorder the 15 please.

 

[SharpX68K]

Xbox One X is really Xbox 3.5.

So no, the next Xbox cannot be Xbox 5.

 

[Ducayne]

Yeah they really kinda screwed themselves over with the naming. I really wonder how their internal teams are going to get themselves out of this, as it is going to be a very difficult marketing/advertising project. I can't think of any name that makes sense, unless they really just double down on Xbox representing the service.

 

[DrHercouet]

They should call it "Xbox i" because "Games are so complex right now"

 

[Putosaure]

You want them to call the 4th Xbox, Xbox 5 ????

Why would you want a Xbox 4 when you can get a Playstation 5 ?

 

[Playsage]

Should be 6.
You forgot Xbox One SAD.

 

[chadskin]

Phil Spencer lacks the courage to be so bold and brave.

 

[Kupo Kupopo]

Xbox One=Xbox 3

Click to shrink...

2 + two = 5...

 

[Raide]

They should have the balls to call it Xbox Scarlett. Screw boring numbering conventions. MS doesn't really go that route.

 

[Ricky_R]

They're better off just rebooting the whole thing and coming up with a new name.

 

[The Cameo]

They should just abandon the box wording, the X is the important part and the only thing in the name they've turned into branding

it ain't called the box-cloud, the logo ain't a box, this is flawless reasoning, don't @ me

 

[Deleted member 42105]

Why not just call it the Scarlett?

 

[Cactuar]

PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5. No doubt Sony has the best videgame naming convention.

And well, if you're gonna steal, steal from the best.

 

[Rhaknar]

The New XBOX

*hides*

 

[Vonocourt]

The name is going to be something, that is for sure.

Click to shrink...

I think some people will like it, others will dislike it, and a few will be indifferent towards it.

 

[Bundy]

lol nonsense.
XBO S is then the Xbox 4, XBO X the Xbox 5 and Xbox Scarlett the Xbox 6 then? Hilarious.

 

[chrisPjelly]

They're not going to call it the Xbox 5...


they'll call it the XBOX 10

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Xbox=Xbox 1
Xbox 360=Xbox 2
Xbox One=Xbox 3
Xbox One X=Xbox 4
Next Xbox=Xbox 5

Call it Xbox 5

So the mid-gen advanced version would be the xbox 6?

 

[Okabe]

X-calibur

 

[Deleted member 51691]

They skipped Windows 9 already. What's the harm in skipping the Xbox 4?

 

[Ryuelli]

They should probably name it Harry Potter and the Lord of the Xbox: Twilight Edition

 

[TheGhost]

Xbox Beyond or Xbox Infinite, I hate numbers. Have a feeling it will be something no one here thought of though.

 

[Rommaz]

It will be the Next Box One

Click to shrink...

This is also acceptable.

 

[YourFriendLevi]

Xbox Tomorrow out Today

 

[Uncle Sensei]

Xbox 360-2.
The real power move.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

They'll call it Xbox Infinity and then the one after that will be called Xbox Infinity +1.

 

[Rommaz]

Xbox Beyond or Xbox Infinite, I hate numbers. Have a feeling it will be something no one here thought of though.

If you don't mind me asking why do you hate numbers of all things LOL
