One of the biggest questions on everyone's mind about the next Xbox is: What will it
be called? It's been referred to as the Xbox 720 for a long time. The codename is Durango.
Microsoft recently registered several domains related to the names Xbox Fusion and Xbox
8. And some believe Microsoft will drop the qualifier and just call it the Xbox.
But according to sources speaking with The International Business Times, the name of
Microsoft's third console is Xbox Infinity.
The Times says, "Sources related to development of the new Xbox have confirmed to IBTimes
UK that the console... will be called Infinity."
This is still unconfirmed by Microsoft, and is likely to remain unconfirmed until the
system is officially unveiled on May 21.
We reached out to Microsoft for comment and a representative simply told us "we're excited
to share more about the new generation of games, TV, and entertainment on May 21, but
have nothing further to share at this time."
On May 21, you can watch the next Xbox unveiling live here at IGN, with pre- and post-show
analysis by Fable developer Peter Molyneux.
Until then, stay tuned to IGN.
