Microsoft Considered Calling Xbox 360 Xbox 3 For A While
But for a while there, they considered going with a name a lot worse, and a lot more baffling- the Xbox 3. Yep, for a while, they contemplated following up the original Xbox with… the Xbox 3.
“Certainly Xbox 3 was actually on the list because, well, you’ve gotta catch up. You don’t want to be Xbox 2 compared to PlayStation 3. We actually talked about that… You don’t want to feel like you’re a generation behind, so why not skip?” former Chief Xbox Executive Robbie Bach said in an interview with IGN.
Ultimately, sense prevailed, and Microsoft went with a name that made a lot more sense- and there is an argument to be made that the Xbox 360’s name was instrumental in it being as iconic as it was in the long run.
Now if only Microsoft had exercised the same kind of sense and prudence when it came to naming the Xbox One and Windows 10…

I liked the name Xbox 360 because it's like they took everything good about the first Xbox, and came full circle and enhanced everything, and even added new stuff like a media player, flash drive support, wireless, all sorts of cool stuff. So the name Xbox 360 does make sense cuz they completely redid everything, but lie, 5 times better lol
