Plenty of Xbox 720 rumors have surfaced in recent months, but veteran games journalist Chris Morris has filtered through them to provide a realistic take on what Microsoft should and shouldn't do with Xbox 360's successor. In particular, he notes that Microsoft should adopt the Blu-ray format from Sony. 'A DVD drive as a medium for storing larger and larger games is outdated – and it steps on the toes of a system that bills itself as the high definition leader,' Morris writes. 'Microsoft resisted the move to Blu-ray this generation without any ill effects. It even survived picking the losing side in the format battle between Blu-ray and HD-DVD, but it can't rely on the DVD to take it into the next generation.'"

Why do they call it the Xbox 720? Because when you see it, you'll turn 720 degrees and walk away.
I knew the moonwalk had a practical purpose!

It's a stupid assumption to think the next XBox will be called the XBox 720.
The first was the "XBox 1".
Then came the "XBox 360", which is 360x the previous number.
It makes much more sense the next one will be called "XBox 129600".
Or, if the naming scheme implies 360^(previous number), the "XBox Out-of-range error".
