New Microsoft Console 'Called Xbox Infinity'

The next-generation Xboxconsole is set to be called Xbox Infinity, according to reports.

Due to be unveiled at a press event being held on 21 May, Microsoft's new console has been referred to as Xbox 720 by most of the industry over the last five years.

But IB Times claims that "sources related to the development" of the new machine have confirmed the alternative name.

Microsoft would only say that it "does not comment on rumour and speculation".

The full line-up of games is expected to be revealed at E3 in June - and the new machine is expected to be on sale by the end of the year.
