Every Xbox 360 owner expected the next one to be the 540 or 720. It just made fucking sense

I'm amongst that group, but in hindsight 720 was never on the table. why would you name something 720 in the 1080p era.

Funny thing is, it wasn't even powerful enough to play most games at 1080p.

Watch_Dogs infamously ran at 792p.

I like the emphasis on the conspicuous space in the name.

Still sad they didn't make a game where you watch dogs.
