Microsoft Narrowing Down Xbox Successor's Name?

Not to be outdone by the agency of Nintendo's oddball selection of potential initials for its upcoming D handheld, Microsoft has reportedly circulated a certain quantity of proposed names for its nearest game console. A investigation lately conducted by the SPS research firm, received by means of a great many gamers and 1UP readers around the web, search fors to gather data on Microsoft's behalf regarding which of several names might be the right single for the next Xbox.

Some of the monikers mentioned in the review as "being considered for the next-generation Xbox" are:

Xbox 247
Xbox 360
Xbox 2
Xbox E
Xbox EV
Xbox F
Xbox HD
Xbox NE

Other questions evidently focus more specifically upon the "Xbox FS" name, which accommodate withs itself to a certain amount of harlequin speculation regarding what "FS" might stand for ("Free Style" "Full Spectrum" "Fleet Sturgeon" or perhaps "Fo' Shizzle"). a certain quantity of reports claim that the interactive overlook includes an image of a propos Xbox F logo although that's not confirmed as still

Conventional wisdom predicts that Microsoft is looking to kick not on the next-generation hardware race before long perhaps as early as the 2005 holidays. If it's operating upon such a compressed schedule, critical marketing details like as names and logos will certainly have to be nailed down fairly shortly

As at the same time though, any of the above names have to be considered tentative at best. We'll gaze out for more details as by and by as Microsoft has more to say upon the subject.
