A non-games industry site is reporting that Xbox Infinity will indeed be the name of Microsoft’s next console.
International Business Times UK (http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/465267/20130507/xbox-infinity-confirmed-name-new-microsoft-console.htm) reports claims to have word from “sources related to development of the new Xbox”.
That, quite literally, is it. The rest of the report is a rehash of other Xbox rumours that have been doing the rounds. It also cites rumours that West and Zampella’s Respawn Studios is developing a launch title for the new machine – which in MCV’s opinion is highly unlikely.
The Xbox Infinity branding (or Xbox∞) was first mentioned online as far back as July 2012 (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/microsoft-fights-for-wins-xbox8-domains/098918) although a report earlier this month – which instead tipped Xbox Fusion as the most likely moniker – dismissed the Infinity reports (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/xbox-fusion-tipped-as-possible-moniker-for-new-console/0114962).
Still, we’ll find out in less than two weeks. Microsoft will spill all of its next gen beans on May 21st.
