X-Box 2 finally has a name.
 
Next-Box

that is seriousy the stupidest thing ever.

Kane Knight 02-12-2004 03:33 PM

Do they do some funky caps there? Like NeXt-Box?

"For shitty games with awesome graphics...There's no power greater than NeXt..."

:shifty:

LOL.

DS 02-12-2004 03:57 PM

Actually, it's Xbox Next.

Been like that for a long time now. Most people will just call it by Xbox 2 probably because that's what it's still being refered to.

Or because it sucks less.

DS 02-12-2004 04:20 PM

Meh, I don't think it's too terrible.

Paranoid Rattlesnake 02-12-2004 04:35 PM

Meh, It won't end up being called that though. Remember the gamecube was going to be called something stupid like nintendo dolphin

Temporary project name. Which later became Starcube.

Dreamcast was called Katana when it was still in the works. omething better will come out eventually.

lol damn

Jason Cage 02-12-2004 05:23 PM

G 02-12-2004 06:35 PM

Hasn't been announced but I'm guessing around then as the PS3 is suppose to be around 2005.

G 02-12-2004 07:32 PM

Maybe Microsoft will get the picture and have it released when the PS3 is.

DS 02-12-2004 07:34 PM

That would be a disaster. As of the moment with the talks of specs the PS3 is more powerful then the Xbox Next and the fanbase for the Playstation systems are far more broad then Xbox.

G 02-12-2004 07:40 PM

Yes, that's the whole idea. Down with the X-Box. :y:

DS 02-12-2004 07:42 PM

I'll get it. :)

G 02-12-2004 08:00 PM

You or your mom? ;)

Silent 02-12-2004 08:15 PM

If you look at a Dreamcast processor chip, it says KATANA on it.

Just thought I would point that out.

Buzzkill 02-13-2004 03:09 AM

Dolphin was just the codename for the system, was never said to be its name. And Gekko was the codename for its chipset I believe.

And DS, I am pretty sure it is now Next Box, they changed it a few days ago.

Bad Guy 02-13-2004 03:10 AM

either way i'm getting it. it's just a name. besides, before 'playstation' :roll: came out, what did you think of that name?

thebitch 02-13-2004 09:59 AM

NeXt Box has been the name of it for like...a year or so now. They announced this name for it when they first announced that a second X-Box would be released.

I've talked to 3 different guys at 3 different gaming stores and they have said that the PS3 will be released around 2007-2008. If so I will be super pissed :foc:

WORD!

DS 02-13-2004 03:55 PM

It's not the official name for it but I'm still pretty sure it's Xbox Next.

And as of now Sony has been shooting for a 2005-2006 release. That's just a very broad date also because they haven't named any date at all. So whoever says its 2007-2008 is guessing about as much as anyone who says 2005-2006 (me). 2005/6 is a more reasonable date though.

Penner 02-13-2004 04:15 PM

i remember when they were going to call nintendo 64, ultra 64

Buzzkill 02-13-2004 04:45 PM

Sony has a bad history of talking alot, and not backing it up.
