Yes, only a codename, but a really cruddy one, in my opinion. Not as bad as some others that I've heard, but surely they can come up with something better than 'Xenon'.

It means: "A colourless, odourless, highly unreactive gaseous element found in minute quantities in the atmosphere."

Yeah, ok, if you say so Microsoft.

Still, I doubt this'll be the real name, so at least Microsoft have got time to put together something that actually sounds decent. :-D

You know, that may well be the most idiotic and retarded comment I've ever read on these forums.

Still reckon it's an Intel reference. MS and Intel are pretty tight when it comes to electronics...

That was Xenon 2: Megablast. The soundtrack was indeed by Bomb The Bass and was called 'Megablast' unsurprisingly enough.

Stragely enough the name reminds me of an Intel chip, wasn;t it named Xeon or something?

Xenon is just a codename that Microsoft will use to talk to game developers about etc.... A temporary name if you will...

Xbox Next is still possible, but Xbox II is more likely.
