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.

DGR21 Think about this. The code name for the "New Xbox" is infinity. And people are guessing it's going to be called "Xbox 8" to relate to Microsofts new tech. Now whats a 8 turned sideways...the infinity symbol. Boom "Xbox Infinity", hiding the name in plan site.
I'm not sure if you're reading into this, or that's a really smart idea...

I hate seeing these kinds of posts in the news. Microsoft obviously doesn't want ANYBODY to know anything about any new xbox they may be revealing.
