It's a psychological thing.

Microsoft didn't want Xbox 2 with a Playstation 3 coming out.

I think they just wanted to attract potheads with low attention spans.



Well perhaps 360 = how many exclusive games will go from PS3 to either 360 or multi plat.



Mil. Sellers:

Wii:      25 titles       101.4 mil total    avg 4 mil per title

PS3:     14 titles      28.6 mil total    avg ~2 mil per title

360:     41 titles      89.8 mil total   avg  >2 mil per title

Before you try to decipher the meaning of the 360 you must decipher the meaning of the original "XBox."

The GameCube: a box of gaming.

The PlayStation: a station in which to play.

The XBox: a box with an X on it.


It's short for direct x box.


 Yeah, that would be the most realistic answer.


 It is the oly answer that would be correct. Microsoft already said that what it was based off of. 


 Oh come on guys.  The X is for X-Treme.  Microsoft is as hArDcOrE as Mountain Dew.

It would've been great if that 360 just spat out MJ's fairy dust at the end.

Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

1st post is correct. It was a marketing thing. 360 lokks better against PS3 than Xbox 2 does. That is the sole reason for the name.
