    I got proof! And a link before the image goes away. Full Truth, I saw this on a TheVerge forum post, but the post got taken down by him or a moderator.

    Anyway, the Verge OP originally suggested that they can do: X8ox, or like I said Xbox Infinity. The latter is certainly too long to write out, so "X∞" (Alt 236) could work. Eh? Ehh?. ~ Alright.

    Pronounced "Zate"

    Or I just think of the X86 processor architecture...

    If you experience an erection lasting more than 4 hours while on Xeightox...

    That actually could be right. It also kind of ties in with Windows 8

    "... Or how to play Xbox games on Windows 8..."

    Doesn't that just make X8 some kind of Xbox/WIndows 8 integration?

    Xbox to Xbox 360 to Xbox 8. Makes sense. I mean, the 8 is like two circles, and a circle is 360 degrees, so that's like two 360s.

    I think this might be closer to the truth, judging from the screenshot.

    I personally hope for XBX. But Infinity has a nice ring to it, especially with the Reclaimer trilogy and the ship Infinity... Next Xbox runs on Forerunner technology?!

    Not to just ruin everyone's fun, but you realize that the text on that page says "Xbox games on Windows 8" and that "X8" probably refers specifically to achievement-enabled games sold in the Win 8 app store, right?

    While it's almost certainly referring to Windows 8, I actually like X8 as a name. It's dumb, but no dumber than most console names.

    I really hope people noticed that.

    And man, I hope they could be able to come up with something better than X8. Really terrible name.

    Thanks Blu3V3nom07 for picking up on this. Apologies for the self-promotion but I posted the original article on my blog.

    There is also an additional screen on the Xbox Music page which doesn't reference using Windows 8

    No Caption Provided

    Follow the link to the Xbox website here.

    It certainly shouldn't be taken as concrete proof but it is interesting! :)

    Not to mention they already have hardware called the X8

    This same rumor was going around a few months or maybe a year ago. People were saying they were going to call it infinity or possibly loop and use the 8 symbol to try and outshine the 4 in PS4 to joe dumbass. If they didn't get it from that old rumor and it popped up again in a different place, that might say a lot.

    The two circles (360s) making the infinity symbol makes a lot of sense.

    But yea, all that Windows Blue rumor stuff goes with that too. (Windows updates every single year) W10 will come soon enough too, if so.
