This box, is, ummm...not a box...

Let's follow this logically. The Xbox is, well, a box. A box is the 3-dimensional representation of six conjoined squares. So, if someone wanted to come up with a logical sounding, albeit false, successor to Microsoft's gaming platform, all they would really need to do would be to propose a so called "Xball". I admit, it sounds somewhat convincing.

Considering how most current gadgets are being named with short, alphanumeric combinations (Sony's string of cellphones, the PS2, PSOne, N64, Nintendo DS, Gameboy Advance SP, N-Gage QD) instead of actual words, I find the name Nintendo N5 to be much more believable as the name of a "next-gen" game console.
