Ok seems we are done here with the 616 discussion, Brevoort just admited in an interview with Newsarama its just a name change because he doesn't like 616, so no point in discussing it anymore.

Nrama: One thing that did seem to be intentional, that you also mentioned, is the placement of Miles Morales into the Prime Earth, as we’re now calling the main Marvel Universe.

'''Brevoort: Technically, we’re just calling it “The Marvel Universe.” We call it the “Prime Earth” in Secret Wars because we had to call it something and we didn’t want to have a number. We really wanted to retire “616”, despite [editor] Jordan White’s protestations.'''

'''We’ll have all the readers of Web Warriors showing up going, “But, but, but, in issue 1 there’s a locator that says ‘616’!” And yeah, you can decide which one you want to believe – Secret Wars, or Web Warriors. Web Warriors #1 came out before Secret Wars #9 – I wouldn’t have let them put a locator that said “Prime Earth” because we weren’t there yet.'''

But really, it’s just the Marvel Universe.
