you'll turn 360 degrees, get dizzy and throw up

>because you'll check your analog watch to make sure the seconds hand is still working so you can be on time for the midnight release

Because the logo was a sphere, the opposite to the Playstation, which was shaped like a square.

it does circles around the competition

You would be facing the same way, retard

360 bits

they couldn't think of anything else

Why did they call it One

because you do a one-eighty and keep walking in the same direction

Because "X-Bone" sounds fucking cool.

A circle is 360 degrees, so 180 would be the other way, but I get what you mean

...

ONE BILLION

not if you moonwalk

>Microsoft called it the 360 because
If they were to call it xbox 2 it would appear less advanced than the ps3, so they called it 3 60 to compete head to head against sony's third console

Why did they name next console xbox 1 then?
If I'm not mistaken 1 is lower than 4

XI = 11 > 4

...

That doesn't make any sense

The market changed, the xbox had created a name for itself with the success of the 360, they now could afford to name it whatever they wanted without the people (mostly american consumers) getting confused about numbers

Little did they knew Don "Stick to the 360" Mattrick was gonna destroy the brand

Microsoft wanted people to call it "the one"

Obviously didn't fucking work, not a single person I know irl or internet has ever unironically called it that.

>Microsoft embraced DRM like Anakin embraced the darkside

The name "x box" iself is kinda cringey... really sounds like it came out of an 8yo

>really sounds like it came out of an 8yo
I think you are thinking of the gamecube, or the wii, or the wiiu

Nah, gamecube sounds like what it really is.
Oldfags trying to be 8yo cool.

Wii and WiiU are more of a japanese thing I think

Sony got it right.

>more or less halfway through the generation if we refer to last gen lasting for 8 years.
>not even 100 million shipped
>expect to hit 1 billion without appealing to the jap market.
>nogaems of this gen.
>idorts has one less console to bother with this gen
>releasing a $500 4K30 (you're kidding yourself thinking it can run a AAA game at 60fps at 4K) capable paperweight no one asked for, which also likely cost them money in R&D, with...
>...NO. GAEMS
>Relying on older games from previous gen to sell their console. it'd be cheaper if they just put the OG xbox back into production, and make more out of it
>the PS3 ACTUALLY did something to make sure they catch up to their early failure of launching an overly expensive console.
>MS does nothing.

will MS follow Sega's footstep by the end of this gen?

now imagine something called the "gameboy"

As opposed to what....the PLAY station. Like what little kids do. Play.

Microsoft just dropped its Windows 10 phones. It'll drop Xbox if the XboneX doesn't sell well.

buddy there is only 127 million japs, taking into account the weebs who like japanese mimicry that buffs the numbers to MAYBE 50 million, I really doubt that though.

Microsoft just doesn't want to do the research, they just don't care anymore. It's having to deal with the most obnoxious entitled backwards consumer base in the entire world. Dealing with Video game players is the most horrid experience and it tells a lot when the only other competitors for video games don't speak english.

Microsoft will survive, but they will either go the way of the dodo or make the same effort it has always done so far. the roots are too rotten to improve, the developers and producers have their hand tied around it with their bad ideas and marginal sales that break even just enough.

Nobody cares, you shouldn't either

the word "station" makes it less shitty

"game cube"... a fucking cube? really?
"x box" oh wow, that box is so X, it's like the raddest letter wow so good

why do you care.

why do you ask?

>xbox one all in one
>xbox one x all in one at 10x the specs

Besides not wanting to call it the Xbox 2, it was called the 360 because 360 in degrees is a revolution.

Microsoft just got too big headed naming their console a revolution.

Why do you wonder?

I hear a lot of people call it the one. it's faster than xbox one

>xbox one x zero exclusives = zero exclusives
thanks microsoft

it's faster not even talking about it

hahahhaaha he thinks the ps2 outsold the Wii

keep deaming neogaf

I had 2 PS2, 0 Wii

Obviously the chart is right

I have two wiis and gave 2 as gifts and never ever bought any sony product

the chart is obviously made by a cuck, like you

gifted 2 wii... clearly you're the only douchebag who buys them kek

I have 5 wiis all in my name

I have 5 xbox 360 desu

>being this in denial
butthurt even more, underage faggot.

...

your whole family sucks balls, dude
down syndrome is an hereditary condition

I'm not retarded like you user. Look at yourself. I posted some family history, yeah a little embarrassing (now deleted, asshole), but hey it's my family history and its pretty important to some people

Having owned 5 Wii is pretty embarassing, yes

I have 6 wiis all in my name

agreed

How is he walking away while facing the same direction?

Because only one person was dumb enough to buy it.
