"Why do you call it Xbox 360? Cause when you see it, you turn 360 degrees and walk away."
Ok dude, it's bad enough that that copypasta already got old, but if you wanna talk **** at least try to make sense. A 360 turn will still have you face the console, you absolute moron.
Yeah. However, it was named 360 because of the same thing being said here...
Microsoft had to compete against the naming scheme of PlayStation 3 or 4. Microsoft needed a cool sounding name. "Xbox 360" while long on paper, it just rolls into your tongue like magic. You can say it out loud quickly without any issue.
It's simply a good marketing strategy, but people like the one you're talking to or communicating with is just being a dumbass or a troll. They're just making fun of Microsoft's decisions because it's currently the cool thing to do. You can thank Xbox One for that.
It was a cool thing to make fun of the original Xbox, and it still is today. People are making fun of Xbox One right now in many ways. Xbox Bone, XBone, XBOX (because if you name it
Xbox
One
X, you would clearly see
XBOX), the only thing cool about Microsoft right now is codename "Project Scorpio." Microsoft even pandered to those fans by releasing a "Project Scorpio" Edition of Xbox One X. So, next gen, Scarlett has to have a good name. A really good one or just say goodbye.
