Microsoft's next Xbox could be called Xbox Fusion, new evidence suggests.

The platform holder has registered a host of web domains related to the term, including XboxFusion.com, XboxFusion.info and XboxFusion.biz, Digital Spy reported citing Fusible.

Microsoft previously secured domains related to the terms Xbox 8 and Xbox Next, but has not filed any registrations connected to Xbox 720, Xbox Infinity, Xbox Durango or Xbox Infinite - which have all been tipped as potential names for its Xbox 360 successor.

Microsoft recently confirmed plans to reveal its new console on May 21.

The announcement suggested that the console and services will be showcased at the event, but the full lineup of games will not be unveiled until E3 the following month.

Reported features for the new Xbox include Kinect 2.0, 3D technology and the long-rumoured Xbox TV.
