A new report lends credence to the rumor that Microsoft's next system will be called the Xbox Infinity.

The International Business Times cites unnamed "sources releated to the development of the new Xbox" in confirming the name for the new system, which will officially be revealed at a press event at Microsoft's Redmond campus on May 21. IBT's report follows images supposedly leaked from development units showing the Infinity name months ago, leading to the logo mock-up from a reddit user, shown above.

Oddly enough, the XboxInfinity.com Web domain is currently parked by Chinese firm HangZhou AiMing Network Co., Ltd, and the .net and .org domains are also parked by various private individuals in the US. However, Microsoft did secure a number of Xbox-related domains from a squatter last year, including xbox8.org and xbox8.us. That could suggest a cross-promotional linkup with Windows 8's branding, or the use of an "8" as a sideways infinity symbol or... nothing more than general brand protection.

The other leading rumor for the name of Microsoft's next system is simply a return to the name Xbox, similar to Apple's generic branding for recent iPads. This name has been suggested by an unverified image leaked on Twitter, but Photoshop sleuths have pointed out that the positioning of the image's design looks less than professional.

Internally, Microsoft and developers have been reportedly referring to the next Xbox by the codename Durango, following the Xbox 360's Xenon codename. Many have taken to referring to the system as the Xbox 720 or the NeXtBox, though these names have never had a hint of confirmation to them. Personally, we're looking forward to people referring to the next next Microsoft system as the "Xbox Infinity + 1."
