successor to Xbox 360 on May 21. As
per the latest buzz this new gaming
console may be called Xbox Infinity or,
simply, Xbox, depending upon who you
believe.
According to Slashgear, Twitter and
Reddit users suggest that the next
generation of Xbox will be dubbed
Xbox Infinity. The chatter on the
social platforms is accompanied by an
alleged Xbox Infinity logo along with
the tag line "Infinite entertainment.
Infinite possibilities."
However, Forbes seems to suggest
that users on Twitter have got it all
wrong. As per the website, the next
generation Xbox will be termed just
Xbox. To substantiate their point,
Forbes opines that the invite sent by
Microsoft has mentioned only "Xbox".
Furthermore, Forbes also mentions
that they have also sourced an image
from their sources, which too points to
the same name.
As per previous rumours, the next
generation Xbox is expected to be
dubbed Xbox 720 or Xbox HD. The
specifications of this gaming console
are expected to include an AMD eight-
core x64 1.6GHz CPU, a D3D11.x
800 MHz graphics solution and 8GB of
DDR3 RAM. It is also expected to
come with USB 3.0 and HDMI 1.4a
(which supports 3D over HDMI)
Ethernet, audio return channels and
4K resolution.
It is also rumoured that the next-gen
Xbox will accept HDMI input from
your cable box, allowing the console to
overlay a UI enabling additional
features.
Microsoft has already sent out invites
for its May 21 event at its main
campus in Redmond, Washington at
which Xbox team will reveal a "new
generation" console.
As per the Industry tracker NPD
Group, more than 70 million Xbox 360
consoles have been sold worldwide
since it was introduced in November
2005. In addition to that, Xbox 360
had been the top-selling console in the
US for 20 consecutive months.
