To this day i dont understand why they called it the Xbox 360. Can someone enlighten me?
>>
Should have been called the Xbox 400, but they got a 10% discount
>>
>>740287953
because it's so bad that you'll turn 360 degrees and walk away
>>

They didn't want to call it the Xbox 2 because next to the Playstation 3 (three) it makes Xbox 2 (two) sound less advanced in the normies mind. So they came up with 360, which also carries the meaning that it's all encompassing and all you need for your entertainment needs.
For the Xbox One they wanted people to call it "the one" to again outdo Sony and their even more advanced number four but ended up making a pile of shit everyone called the Xbone.
For the series just imagine a bunch of execs in a room with a pile of coke at the center of the table tripping balls and thinking they're the smartest guys ever for being execs at Microsoft.

M$ has a famously retarded marketing department who thought it was perfectly clear that
360 == every kind of entertainment in one box
>>

If you turn 360 degrees, you ain't walking away
>>
>>740288682
tell that to mj

That doesn't make any sense anon because they made the Xbox (1) next to the PlayStation 2 so your theory is retarded

let's be real there's literally no other cool name like that, playstation always wins baby
>>

>they made the Xbox (1)
NTA but are you fucking retarded?
You literally made up the (1) part so you can complain.
It was not Xbox (1) it was Xbox you imbecile.
>>
>>740287953
it was meant to be a "revolution" which can also be written as 360 degrees, so xbox 360
>>
>>740290318
Just like PlayStation (1) doesn't have the (1) explicitly in name, Xbox is really just Xbox (1)
I accept your concession
>>
I want to go back to that 2005 2013 generation everything else is a nightmare and its not Canon
>>
>>740287953
360 = All one box. But then they named xbox one for the same reasoning

The real question is why they never made the 720

It has.

>>
>>740287953
the 360 and One naming conventions were from an era where they wanted to emphasize it being a console at the center of your multimedia experience
>>
Because it sounds cool and unique, something modern Microsoft isn’t.

We already knew you were retarded no need to announce it.
