Speculation about what Microsoft is going to call the next-generation of the Xbox has become something of pasttime around these parts, and we still can't get over the part about how Microsoft supposedly doesn't want to call it the "Xbox 2" because they're worried the "2" in the name will make it seem more antequated than the "PlayStation 3". We've heard of a few different possibilities, like that it might be called the Xbox 360, the Xbox Next, or even the Xbox EV (among others), but the current fave seems to be the Xbox Xenon, which may or may not be merely an official codename for the console. Anyway, not that this confirms anything beyond the fact that they really are using "Xenon" as a codename, but Microsoft has a listing up on its jobs board for an "Xbox Marketing Manager" who would manage the "Xenon Global Marketing Plan".
