I still need to get a PS3 to catch up on stuff I missed while rocking the Wii. Why a PS3? Better exclusives (Hyperdimension Neptunia games, 3D Dot Game Heroes, Disgaea 3/4, Dark Souls, etc.), and in my experience, Sony has better customer service than Microsoft. Meaning my old 360 red ringed, and they wouldn't swap my console for whatever reason (yes it was under warranty). In short, it was apparently my fault that my 360 failed. At that point, I just gave up and swore never to buy a Microsoft console again (although I might eventually break that just to get an original Xbox + Steel Battalion).

...Late to the party, but... WHAT THE FUCK?

Maybe it can be like when you read about a movie remake on the internet, like "Star Trek (2009)" for example. Maybe we can call it the "Xbox (2013)" ? :lol:

Maybe not in all regions, but, remember when the SNES came out and every one called the NES "regular Nintendo"?

You know what, this is so stupid I don't believe. It's a joke, it must be a joke. I call bullshit. No way they're calling it simply "Xbox."

Who's angry? We're just pointing out how stupid it is.

Probably just have to call it Xbox Generation 3 like the new iPad.

I remember that. Around where I lived, it continued on to the N64. I really hope that Microsoft calls the next Xbox the Super Xbox.:lol:

I really hope that Microsoft doesn't refer to their new console as the New Xbox.

Yes, "regular Nintendo". That's back when parents said we "played Nintendo", regardless of what actual system was involved.

Nintendo tapes!
