Microsoft ha scelto Xbox dopo aver vagliato nomi assurdi

In un’intervista con il portale EDGE, Seamus Blackley ha spiegato come il nome Xbox (diminutivo per DirectX Box) non sembrasse adatto a descrivere il prodotto e perciò si vagliò una serie di nomi prima di arrivare a decidere di implementare comunque Xbox.
