The Xbox 360? Looks like it...

Until Microsoft makes their official announcement on it, this one is still firmly in the rumor category, but we’ve gotten word from one of our trusted sources that Microsoft has pretty much settled on a name for the next Xbox: the Xbox 360 (let that sink in for a moment, because you’re probably going to be hearing it a lot for the next several years). Our source, who has worked on several projects involving the Xbox and the Xbox 360, has seen the proposed packaging and other design elements for the new console, and says that as of right now the console is being branded as the “Xbox 360.” That’s definitely not that first time we’ve heard that mentioned as one of the possible names for the next-generation Xbox; last year a marketing firm conducted a survey where they asked people whether they thought Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, or Nintendo N5 sounded more “next-gen” (apparently Microsoft was worried that calling their new console the “Xbox 2” would make it seem older or less “cutting-edge” than the PlayStation 3).

Outside the US, the XBOX has incredibly low sales..
In Japan, roughly only 100 units are sold every month...heh...
It's not so popular here in Canada either...

Well, I DO have something against Nintendo but I won't lie. Without the Super Nintendo, I wouldn't have had the chance to play such a cool game like Chrono Trigger, and Squaresoft wouldn't have been so successful...
Actually, many people have Gamecubes, there are more people that have gamecubes than people who have xboxes...

I've had just about every console out there. I'd have to say it's a matter of preference, because I like Xbox more; Whereas, I have friends whom would rather play Playstation 2.

UPDATE: Euro Xbox 2/Xbox 360 for “October, early November”

I don't want the xbox 360...I thought you guys are so called anti-microsoft rebels, but you guys like Xbox

...So much for microsoft boycotting. I like microsoft but hate xbox.
Xboxes run on Intel Pentium 3 processors...beh, my PC is vastly superior to that inferior architecture and thanks to emulators, owning a PC is just like owning an xbox, except they're a million times better

...
Randy, your sig well...it's not healthy for people
