I ran into an interesting article on IGN and thought I would post it here:
Rejected names for the original Xbox on IGN (http://m.ign.com/articles/2013/07/08/rejected-names-for-the-original-xbox-revealed)
The one that makes sense... Directx Box. This makes sense due to Directx software in windows used for gaming and other stuff. I guess that's how they derived the name Xbox.
Thoughts! Post it up!
I get the "thank you Mario but our princess is in another castle" message from the link..

Try now... fixed the link. Missed a double quote.
works fine now.
Those are some crappy names..
They should have hired a bunch of stoners to sit around a circle and toss out names. The only things on the deny list that was remotely good were rip-offs, OM - Odyssey of the Mind (Magnavox Odyssey), MEGA - Neo Geo had mega written all over it!
LOL... makes me wonder how many other crappy names are out there for many systems... there were some gems in there lol.
