PS4, duh. Xbox... umm... 720?

I was just thinking about what the next Microsoft Box will be called... I mean, 720 sounds pretty dumb, and later, 1080 will sound even worse. Any rumors/ideas/news on this front?
 
I have a suspicion that the next xbox name will be a successor to however they re-brand the 360 with Natal, assuming Natal is successful.

The "Xbox" name has a bit of a negative connotation among the casual audience they're after, so I'm expecting them to re-brand the 360 + Natal as something like "360 Free" to get rid of the Xbox name while maintaining some measure of consistency.

The next console afterwards will likely be named based on whatever they choose. (which I guess we'll probably find out at E3)
 
I'm much more worried that Sony is going to get cute with their name and no continue with the Playstation line or not call it PS4.
 
Xbox 8, can launch alongside Windows 8.

And because people are stupid, it would seem twice as good as the PS4.

no. this gen is sub hd, next gen is 720p, nextnext gen will be 1080.

hell most devs barely can get 30 fps at sub hd.

Mid range video cards today do way more than 1080p.
 
In all seriousness, and in a world where we have consoles with names like Wii, Dreamcast, and Xbox 360, if anyone here can actually predict the name of the next Xbox, I will be impressed. For all we know it could be called Throatwobbler Mangrove. (But it'll be spelled "Mr. Luxury Yacht.")
