While Microsoft won't announce the official name for its next-generation Xbox console until a scheduled event on May 21, it has registered multiple Internet domains for the name "Xbox Fusion."

The website Fusible spotted the registrations, which include XboxFusion.com, XboxFusion.info, XboxFusion.biz, XboxFusion.de, and XboxFusion.co.uk.

Obviously, companies register domains for many reasons, so this may not be indicative that Fusion is the name of the company's next console. Still, Microsoft has certainly gone out of its way to make sure that it has secured a variety of Xbox Fusion domains. According to Fusible, it also owns the rights to the domains XboxNext.com and XboxGold.com.

That's one of the worse ones I've heard, but then again I haven't heard many good names for the neXtBox

Cool, I wonder what kind of experience "Xbox Fusion" will offer. Sounds like it's gonna be more interactive. If that's the real name anyway.

If the next Xbox doubles as a fusion reactor, I'll buy it.

Xbox Fusion? Man, what a great name. Like no joke. Fusion is fun to say out loud and it sounds nice. Example: "Yeah, man. I'm gonna play some Fusion this weekend." Sounds cool to me! If Fusion is the name of next console, then Microsoft is making smart decisions for the next console!
by ZGamerF Thursday, May 02, 2013 at 08:54 PM

If that's the name, then I can't wait for the sequel of Fuzion Frenzy!

Better than Durango...

It makes sense with all this illumiroom stuff we are hearing about. That is Kinect 2.0 right there. Going by their previous naming conventions (Kinect uses 'Kinetic' energy to 'Connect' gamers), this is right up their alley. Xbox Fusion 'fuses' the game world with the real world by projecting game worlds into the users' gaming space. And there it is! Im down. it has a nice ring and differentiates from the Xbox 360 just enough to let people know it is an entirely new console.
by Marky360 Thursday, May 02, 2013 at 09:02 PM

I like the name Fusion it sounds good when you say it but I think I understand why Microsoft would use the name Fusion for the next Xbox. Xbox Fusion Fusing together games and entertainment. I can totally see this being the next Xbox's tagline and Microsoft having a heavy push towards both gaming and entertainment services making the Fusion name the perfect fit for the console.
by Drew Navarre Thursday, May 02, 2013 at 09:05 PM

Probably a fusion of the PS3 and the Wii U GamePad.
by DragonLord1123 Thursday, May 02, 2013 at 09:07 PM

Maybe Fusion is the interconnected Xbox Live between 360, windows 8, windows phone, and the next xbox. Or it could not.
by NacMacFeegle Thursday, May 02, 2013 at 09:08 PM

I'm actually a little concerned about what the name fusion implies-on one hand it could be something cool like illumiroom, on the other it could mean that it has to be always online- "fused" to the internet......

Kinectfustion...
by Cube Thursday, May 02, 2013 at 09:12 PM

fusion? thats pretty stupid
by Companion Cube Thursday, May 02, 2013 at 09:19 PM

That's worse than "Wii U"
by John Wrek Thursday, May 02, 2013 at 09:20 PM

Well then, let's see where this goes shall we?
by Stonecutters908 Thursday, May 02, 2013 at 09:21 PM

I heard a rumor that the next xbox will have some sort of peripheral device that would basically be a cut down 360 that would plug into the new xbox and provide backwards compatibility support. The fusion name would make sense in that regard. It would also make sense if the Kinect is already built into the system. Could have something to do with inter-connectivity with phones and tablets. Who knows. I suppose that isn't a terrible name. So much to learn before I make up my mind on the next gen. It might be quite a while post E3 before I even come close to that decision. I might even wait for another E3 to decide.
by The Destroyer Thursday, May 02, 2013 at 09:23 PM

Probably because of the cable and console combination the rumors say they're going for.
by This World Begins With Us Thursday, May 02, 2013 at 09:31 PM

BWAHAHAHAHA. Oh, Microsoft. Should of just named it ''HaloBox''. That's all anyone's going to buy it for, anyway.
