Microsoft obtains 'Xbox 8' domain names
Microsoft was likely most interested in regaining these just to protect its own IPs – and the immediate use of things like xboxlivetv.com and xboxphone.com seem apparent.
It's tempting to suspect Microsoft is eyeing "Xbox 8" as the next console name due to the two domains that reference it; however, Microsoft already began integrating Xbox Live, and the "Xbox" name, into all its consumer products, including Windows 8. Also, it would be really weird if a domain squatter guessed the name.

I don't think the next xbox will directy be named xbox 8 but there will be a connection.
You never know, It could be called Xbox 8.
Xbox 8 sounds weird, but who cares what it's called right?
Yep, the name doesn't effect the gameplay.
Exactly :) they can call it Xbox 123 if they want lol
Eh, Xbox 123 wouldn't be good for marketing :p
