'The New Xbox' Name Appears On Xbox.com

Xbox.com briefly displayed the name ‘The New Xbox’ recently before quickly removing it from the website.

Spotted by a NeoGaf user who rather smartly grabbed a screenshot of the new name, the image clearly shows name ‘The New Xbox’ as a selectable option alongside the usual wesbite choices.

According to the user, after refreshing the page ‘The New Xbox’ option disappeared. Its appearance lends weight to the rumour that Microsoft could be entering into an Apple-inspired marketing ethos with its next-gen Xbox, taking inspiration from products like The New iPad.

It would be a clear and concise name for a next-gen console, too, removing the unnecessary and increasingly redundant numbers that, especially in the Xbox’s case, have little to do with the console itself.

This could be a hoax, though, but ‘The New Xbox’ name is given weight by the power of Apple’s brands and the new all-encompassing nature that Microsoft is rumoured to be taking the next-gen Xbox.

Here's the full image:

"The New iPad" was just about the crappiest product name i'd ever heard. Apple is going down the toilet.

HA THE NEW XBOX

eh, Microsoft much have a bunch of hipsters working on the name for their new console

Lets hope this isnt real.

So, so lame.

This surely wont be the permanent name

Microsoft must be taking a leaf out of the originality page of Nintendo's book.

When hasn't Apple been in the toilet?

What is it exactly about this that everyone thinks is so lame?
