A revelatory piece by investigative journalist Brier Dudley in yesterday’s Seattle Times claims that J Allard’s much-hyped, hugely secretive “iPod-killer” will also play games as part of a full line-up of Xbox-branded products.
According to Dudley, the project is apparently code-named ‘Argo’ – the name of Greek mythological hero Jason’s ship, as opposed to, say, code-name ‘Troj’, after the mythological Trojan Horse.
Or, should you choose to believe gadget site Gizmodo, project ‘Argo’ is now apparently finally named ‘Zune’. Either way, true or false, it’s good to see that the names being bandied about are as equally ludicrous as Xbox 360 and Wii. SPOnG expects nothing less.
For the purposes of this news piece, we will refer to it as the ‘Zune’ – for no reason other than it’s a superbly daft name and therefore, going by recent cultural trends in games industry product naming, highly likely to be a contender.
