La console che oggi noi conosciamo come Xbox, originariamente poteva essere chiamata anche in altri modi. In una vecchia intervista mai pubblicata, Seamus Blackley, che faceva parte del team della prima Xbox, ha rivelato il processo di scelta del nome della console.
Secondo le parole di Blackley al momento della scelta del nome si creò una grande confusione e le proposte furono le più disparate. Addirittura molte alternative non vennero nemmeno appuntate a causa del numero consistente di queste. Ve ne proponiamo “alcune”:
- – MAX (Microsoft Action Experience)
