Rumour: Next Xbox To Be Named 'Xbox Infinity'

New touch controllers are also on the cards, for the game console.

 

A new leaked image has emerged on Reddit from various sources which suggests that the next Xbox is going to be named 'Xbox Infinity' instead of the highly rumoured 'Xbox 720'. Codenamed 'Durango', Microsoft seems set to launch the new console on 21st May 2013. There was an official leak previously, which did not mention the word 'Infinity' but the new leak with the tag line 'Infinite entertainment. Infinite Possibilities.' does make some sense, with Microsoft emphasizing more on making the device more than just a gaming console.

Rumours suggest the new Xbox is bringing along new touch based controllers too. This may be a tip off from the Sony's new DualShock 4 Controller which has a similar touch sensitive area. The new Xbox controllers are expected to compliment Kinect, along with being clickable for a more traditional input system. There is no news about the type of optical drive, which ideally should be a Bluray drive - but then Microsoft seems to be pushing for downloads of add-on content and games purchased online.

This does seem to be a part of the revamping spree that Microsoft is on, and if rumours are to be believed, we just might see a whole new console ready to become the centerpiece of living room entertainment on May 21.
