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.

Xbox8? They're going from the 360 to the 8? I find that hard to believe. And I'm also worried about xbox creating a phone, and also t.v.s. But, I am excited to see a tablet come from xbox live, hopefully to do better than sony with the PSP Vita. And I'm not too sure what the xboxcompanian domain is, unless that's like a dating website for gamers or something.
