Continue to emerge in speculation on new Xbox network: according to leaked from the site ThisisXbox and from the words of an employee of a company that is both Publisher and developer at the next home console in Redmond might be called Xbox 8 . The number 8 would relate to the fact that it is the eighth gen console, but above all it would be a clear link to Windows 8, the next OS from Microsoft that Xbox will share many services in addition to the particular interface "Metro".

The reference could also be relevant to the codenames of the new console vociferati so far, Infinity and Loops , because the rotated 90 degrees 8 is visually very symbol of infinity, which is a perpetual loop.

Apparently the technology that underlies the hypothetical Xbox 8 was shown behind closed doors at CES 2012 using an enhanced version of Battlefield 3 with a graphics rendering equal to that of today's high-end PC.

At the moment we inform you again that this is rumor, therefore we await official news from Microsoft hoping something comes out, even though minimal, E3.
