What would you call the next gen console?

What would you call the next gen consoles of the three major console makers? Nintendo has already come up with the WiiU so lets say the console that comes after that.

Microsoft: X-box , X-box 360, ____
Sony: PS1, PS2, PS3, ___
Nintendo: NES, SNES, Gamecube, Wii, WiiU, ___

My suggestions/comments:
Microsoft: X-box Xtreme (ok yeah it sounds cheesy, but I don't think that giving it a number after 360 is going to sound decent anymore)
Sony: PS4 (if only to stop them from being 'creative' and giving it a name like PSVita)
Nintendo: WiiU2 (simply to mess with your minds)

Also if you want, give suggestions for the handhelds.
Obvious this doesn't hold any real meaning, but lets have some fun with this.

I'd make a new line and call the it ULTIMATE.

And they'd all be timed to explode when the next next gen is due to come out, destroying civilization as we know it, so that no one can say it had a misleading name.

The XBox One Thousand Three Hundred Thirty Seven? Yeah, I think you're right about MS having to drop numbers. If it does have a number it either needs to involve four, to ape the PSs, or be larger - but nothing practical comes to mind. The XBox 4D? Horrible. The XBox4Real? Grotesque. The Victor Borge Memorial XBox5Real? Acceptable, but unlikely. I wouldn't be surprised to see a tie-in to the Kinect somehow, but I don't know how they'd pull that off.

Sony will simply go with the PS4, they know that's sufficient and are hopefully smart enough to keep it simple and classy like this rather than giving us the Playstation Omniunit Prime or some other flowery idiocy.

Nintendo will pursue the Wii3. Six years from now someone will do a search of this forum after the Wii3 is announced and be confused what this post from 2011 is. Well it's me being right, and being very very sad about that fact.

"Xbox1080" might be a possible choice, it is a multiple of 360, but could be used in marketing to signal that the console is rendering everything in 1080p aka FullHD now. Might however be a little late at that point to try pimp FullHD support as a feature by then, as most people would probably take that as a given.

Clearly, they would be called the Xbox 720, the PS4, and the Nintendo Puu.

X-pyramid (now thats thinking outside the box *wink wink*)
PS5 (just to see if anyone notices that they skipped a number)
Nintendo WiiOnU ("cause thats what those corporate lads at Nintendo always do harhar" *as I happily play my new 3ds*)

but seriously...

probably go with adding numbers on the end as that makes things easier -

PS4
Wii 2
Xbox...eh? 1080?

Y-Box (just the natural progression of things)
PS7 (because it makes no sense)
WiiUPlaaWiiMii ( that's probably the name Nintendo had in Mind from the beginning)

Xbox Spin
PS infinity
Wii M.
Why M? It's an M spelled backwards dummy. It's pronounced "Wii me".

?see what I did there?

A good, potential name for the next generation of X-box could be the X-box Zenith, or if the next generation is going to be the last generation (at least for a god long while) MS could go with the ApeX-box or the X-box Apex.
