abbreviated form of original plan... seXBox



no, really though.. since it's Microsoft,
it probably means the same thing as the X in Windows XP

 

DirectX. The original intention was to put DirectX in a box, thus Xbox.

maybe it stands for the same thing as the X in X factor, or X-men.

Windows XP, Mac OS X, Gatorade X-Tremo... it's just marketing, putting the letter X on there is like slapping a pair of breasts on it. X sells.
