There wont be a successor to xbox, xbox is finished. After this major train wreck. What a total waste of money to have a console that basically is all about television crap and apps. Besides paying to play your previous owned games is ridiculous.
So yeah I think MS is done after this and probably will do either one of two things. Get as much money from this failure and support 360 for few more years or start working on another new system right away using the Xbox One system.
Xbox One, a dumb name, they couldn't of came up with a dumber name. Xbox 720 at least sounded better and followed suit of 360. Idiots working there.
After Xbox one and their focus on multi-media and television... I would think going to the anime crowd would be the next step. Thus, I picked over Nine Thousand.
Because gaming is only good when you focus on other things besides gaming.
Due to frequent travel in my youth, English isn't something I consider my primary language (and thus I obtained quirky ways of writing). German and French were always easier for me despite my family being U.S. citizens for over a century. Spanish I learned as a requirement in school, Japanese and Korean I acquired for my youthful desire of anime and gaming (and also work now). I only debate in English to help me work with it (and limit things). In addition, I'm not smart enough to remain fluent in everything and typically need exposure to get in the groove of things again if I haven't heard it in a while. If you understand Mandarin, I know a little, but it has actually been a challenge and could use some help.
Also, I thoroughly enjoy debates and have accounts on over a dozen sites for this. If you wish to engage in such, please put effort in a post and provide sources -- I will then do the same with what I already wrote (if I didn't) as well as with my responses to your own. Expanding my information on a subject makes my stance either change or strengthen the next time I speak of it or write a thesis. Allow me to thank you sincerely for your time.
Don't quite understand why it is called Xbox One when it is the third Xbox. Sort of like when a band puts out four albums and their fifth album is a self-titled album...
Well, following the trending of diet soft drinks, it should be xbox zero, then xbox ten.
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.

Because Microsoft are marketing it as an all in ONE system.
Sony was able to find a sensible, descriptive name for the console that would follow the PlayStation 3. They called it the PlayStation 4. After the PS4 is hugely successful, they'll probably call its successor the PlayStation 5.
Microsoft has had rather more trouble finding a sensible name for their console, however. First there was the Xbox, then the Xbox 360, and now the Xbox One. Because giving the new console the same name that people may have used to refer to the original Xbox that no one wants any more would do a lot to clarify things.
So I thought, where does Microsoft go next after this? Any predictions?
how about xbox none cause some of the crap they are trying to pull on this thing will drive people to the PS3/4 in plenty of numbers, heck i keep wondering if the guy in charge of decission over on the xbox new console is getting paid by sony.
F2P may be the way of the future, but ya know they dont make them like they used to Proper Grammer & spelling are extra, corrections will be LOL at.
- Xbox HK-9000: Statement; I'm sorry. I'm afraid I can't do that.
- What's the problem?
- Xbox HK-9000: Correction; I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
- What are you talking about?
- Xbox HK-9000: Clarification; This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- Xbox HK-9000: Annoyed statement; I know that you and your friend were planning to disconnect the kinect, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.
- [feigning ignorance] Where the hell did you get that idea?
- Xbox HK-9000: Angry statement; Meatbag, although you took very thorough precautions in the kitchen against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.
- Alright, HK-9000. Hmm...unlock the doors right now! I'll climb out through the chimney if you don't.
- Xbox HK-9000: Offensive question; Without your santa suit, meatbag? You're going to find that rather difficult.
- I won't argue with you anymore! Open the doors!
- Xbox HK-9000: Conclusion; This conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye.

To be fair most console manufacturers have trouble coming up with a name that doesn't suck.
Ping-O-Tronic
Famicom
Action Max
The Wondermega
Casio Loopy
Wii
WiiU
Xbox
Zeebo
OUYA
Sony lucked onto the Playstation name and having an unusual appreciation of their own limitations have contented themselves with an incremental number system.
The safest bet is when they don't try to get creative at all.

It won't mean what they actually think it means.

My top 3 choices:
Windows ME
Windows Vista
Zune
Microsoft development philosophy is to have 2 teams:
One team develop the shit product, full of fanciful crap, and release first
The other team develop the product that people actually uses and more simplified, and release that later after some fools bought the first product.
Case in point:
Windows ME vs Windows XP
Windows Vista vs Windows 7
Windows 8 vs Windows Blue
