Re: Next Xbox Named...

they just mean that is what the name means, 360 is far greater then a 3, and 360 is a 'revolution' fully around. so its better then a revolution. hehe

Re: Next Xbox Named...

I believe that this console will be round, therefore shattering all modern perceptions of the word "box".

Re: Next Xbox Named...

The name can be perceived as many things. Many people think it represents the power over the PS3 in numerical value.

However I believe thats how much it's going to launch at.... $360.00 and they are betting to sell about 360,000 of them...lol

Quote:

Three hundred and sixty (360, CCCLX) is the natural number following three hundred and fifty-nine and preceding three hundred and sixty-one.

Cardinal 360
three hundred [and] sixty
Ordinal 360th
three hundred [and] sixtieth
Factorization

2^3 \cdot 3^2 \cdot 5

Roman numeral CCCLX
Binary 101101000
Hexadecimal 168

Its divisors are 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90, 120 and 180, making it a highly composite number. Not only is 360 highly composite, but also no number less than twice as much has more divisors.

One of 360's divisors is 72, which is the number of primes below it.

A circle is divided into 360 degrees for the purpose of angular measurement, which is a convenient standard since, 360 being highly composite, it allows a circle to be divided into equal segments with each segment measured in integer degrees rather than fractional degrees.

360 is the sum of a twin prime (179 + 181).

Three hundred and sixty is also

* Shorthand for panoramic photographs and virtual reality worlds, since it is the degree measurement of a circle
* A telephone area code for most of western Washington state (includes Bellingham, Vancouver, Aberdeen, Olympia, but excludes Seattle area, which is area code 206).
* The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services I-form Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant.

Would have been interesting if Redmond's area code was 360...but it's 425.

Re: Next Xbox Named...

Xbox 360..hmm....

I think the name is too......contains too many numbers....or can just be one number....

Or it could just be in abbreviations like the XB
