Will Microsoft call its next generation console the Xbox Fusion? Domain names point to yes

If Microsoft has learned anything from its previous mistakes with launching a product without the matching domains -- then it's quite possible that the company's next generation console will be called the "Xbox Fusion". Microsoft owns the name in a variety of different extensions and it has for years. Speculation about the name being called "Xbox Fusion" isn't anything new. But what separates "Xbox Fusion" and only a few other names from the rest of the list, is that not only does Microsoft own the dot-com, it owns a slew of other domains like XboxFusion.info, XboxFusion.biz, XboxFusion.de, XboxFusion.co.uk - the list goes on and on.

The amounts of laughs and dbz meme's getting thrown around would be insane, you could very well say it will be over 9000;)

It would be gif heaven.

FUSION HA!

Fusion likely refers to AMD's Fusion System Architecture.

CEOSteveBallmer4012d ago

No I think the reason its called fusion is because of a gaming console fusing with a cable entertainment box.

DeadlyFire4012d ago

Xbox Live Fusion. PC and console gaming together.

Windows 8 on next Xbox definitely a yes. I am thinking ARM edition, but you never know with Microsoft. Possibly a reference to PC and Xbox co-existing with more PC titles from Xbox developers maybe?

dcbronco4011d ago

Fire, you might be onto something. It's also possible it could refer to having two APUs with different CPUs working together. MS has been working on making different types of systems work together. This may be a combination of an ARM, Power and/or x86 architecture APUs working seamlessly together.

dcbronco4011d ago (Edited 4011d ago )

Another possibility is that it will be a sort of dual machine where it can play console and PC games. That would really be the move. There are a lot of PC RTS' I would like to get.

I will be more interested in the games then the console name.

Agheil4012d ago

Fuuuuuuuuuuusssiooooonnnnnnnn HAAAAAAA!

Kamikaze1354012d ago

Xbox Fusion might just be the name of a software or feature. I've always felt that the popularly rumored "Super Xbox" sounds about right.

Bigpappy4012d ago

I agree with your first statement

InMyOpinion4012d ago

They should call it Xe-Boxo 驚くべき精神 Zwei.

Would guarantee ownership of the japanese market lol.

Braid4011d ago (Edited 4011d ago )

Bad idea.

Remember how Super Nintendo was called SNES? In that regard Super Xbox would be called "SXBOX", which might be confused with something... well, very different than what it actually is.

Other options: SUXBOX, SUPXBOX... as you can see both are equally terrible.

AngelicIceDiamond4012d ago

Xbox fusion or Xbox Infinite sounds right to me.

LOL_WUT4012d ago

I don't know but I like fusion better ;)

Evil_Ryu4012d ago

it should be called Y-box because Y comes after x

thebudgetgamer4012d ago

Sounds like something I would shave my face with.

LogicStomper4012d ago

Gillete fusion, with all new ultra-thin tri-blade technology allows closer shaves...

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos7h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto6h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger886h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
