Creator of the Xbox Infinity image comes clean, says it's fake
The image was originally posted on Reddit by a user named C-Ron who said he saved everyone a month and showed off the image of what was supposedly the branding of the next Xbox. While some news sources cited this information as fact and others hedged and said that it was unconfirmed, the rest is history as Xbox Infinity is now a household name among those eagerly waiting Microsoft's next generation console.
But, user C-Ron said it was a fake, he created the image in Photoshop and posted it to Reddit and was amazed at how quickly the image spread around the Internet. After the image made its course, he announced, on Reddit, that the image was an elaborate hoax and to not get your hopes up about the branding.
So there you have it, Xbox Infinity is not real, it did not come from an insider and for now, it's best to wait a few more weeks until Microsoft makes the official announcement.

Pretty easy to tell when something like this is fake, like the fact that they haven't released any information about the console yet. No reason to put something like this up before they even reveal the console.

If Microsoft never confirmed it, I don't know why people would think it was real in the first place.

ChicagoMadePunk This is why i hate reddit. People believe anything that come's form there.
And you know that how? Users on the website enjoyed the content being posted and didn't necessarily believe it, if so then probably a minor of the users. (Probably one's from website's like these). Anyway, you say "People believe anything that come's form there." Okay, and you hate the website because users on forums like these etc. believe in the fake things coming from there? You sir, are an idiot that deserves to go onto thetechgame.com

-Monster_Energy I think it looked pretty real and convincing :)
To bad, I liked the name Infinity :(
Just because the image is fake, doesn't mean the name is non existent. I highly assume that they will be using this name, and if not they probably saw this image and thought "Hey, let's take that."

Oasis Well now there's a surprise...
Reddits crap anyway, I fail to see why it's popular.
What, do you not get how to work it? Pftt. You can't say something is crap because some user posted something on there, instead of this terrible website and users enjoyed it. Idiot.
