Another source is claiming Xbox Infinity is the name of the next Xbox
The new information follows a supposed leaked image which appeared on Reddit recently, advertising the Xbox Infinity. Prior to that, the new Xbox was labelled either Xbox 720, a natural successor of the name Xbox 360, or Durango, its alleged development codename.
But sources have now revealed the console will be named Infinity and that development kits are already in the hands of studios. However, when contacted for confirmation, Microsoft said it "does not comment on rumour and speculation."
Another image which appeared on NeoGaf suggested the next Xbox would be simply called "Xbox" with Microsoft losing any numbers or subtitles, similar to Apple's naming of the latest iPad. However, a user on VG Leaks examined the picture and found the lettering was not in a straight line, implying the logo was not created by Microsoft professionals.
Other recent Xbox rumours include speculation that Respawn Games, co-founded by Modern Warfare creators Vince Zampella and Jason West, may be developing a launch title for the new console. There is also the possibility that always-online functionality, which has long been a concern to consumers looking to continue playing second-hand games, may be activated or deactivated at developers' discretion, meaning that some games will always need to be connected to the internet and some will not.
The new Call of Duty game, Call of Duty: Ghosts will also be available on the Infinity. After the launch of a short teaser trailer, the game is now set to be unveiled in full alongside the new Xbox on 21 May.
Though Microsoft has given no official word on a release date, the Infinity is expected to launch in November, 2013, to coincide with the PlayStation 4's release in the US and Asia.

Apocalyptic Why not just "Xbox"?
Well a VW Beetle is completely different from a VW Golf.
They are not the same so they need a 'Model name.'
I prefer Infinity to 'X8' another rumour that was drifting around.

Dexter-Holland I don't really give a toss what it's called. It'll be the same console either way.
Agreed, but i like 'Infinity' then all the other rumored names.

Lavish Sorta like how it was reported multiple sources said it was Durango, Fusion, and 720? I doubt it.
Durango is the code name for the Xbox
Fusion is backed up by domains Microsoft snapped up but again this something else MS is planning.
720 is a community nickname for the next Xbox they won't call it the 720.
