A number of
speculations have emerged in connection to the upcoming Xbox 720 game console
of Microsoft even as the company has indicated that 2012 will be focused on the
Xbox 360.
The most
recent speculation connected to the reported Xbox 720 game console has been
linked to the effort of Microsoft in trying to gain control of the Xbox 8
domain names. According to reports, the company has reportedly been given
control over the Xbox8.us and Xbox8.org domain names by the National
Arbitration Forum, which was previously held by a China-based cyber-squatter.
However it
should also be noted that the deal for the transfer of control of the two
domain names also involved other domain names including XboxCompanion.com,
XboxLiveTV.com, XboxTablet.com, and XboxPhone.com.
However a
gaming website, GameZone.com, indicated that once the number eight is turned to
its side, it shows the symbol for infinity. This resulted to some speculations
of a possible Xbox Infinity instead of the Xbox 720 although another website
has also indicated that the Xbox will celebrate its eighth birthday next year.
Another
possible possibility is that the deal may be linked to the Windows 8 OS of
Microsoft, which is set to be released soon instead of the reported Xbox 720.
The company recently gave indications that the Xbox Live is set to be offered
on its soon-to-be-released operating system.
However it
may also be possible that the reports may indicate that the company is simply
trying to protect its trademarks and may not be connected to a possible Xbox 8
or the supposed Xbox 720. It should be noted that companies normally purchase
URLs that may be linked to its products.
Documents
that were leaked recently have given indications that the next game console of
Microsoft will be called the Xbox 720 and it will feature a number of software
and hardware upgrades.
The leaked
documents also hinted that the possibility that the upcoming Xbox 720 will be
released prior to the holiday shopping season in 2013.
