Because you turn 360 degrees to find it has RROD'd.

I saw people on Facebook the other day saying that they played their launch 360 multiple hours a day and it never got RROD even after years.

It's called Xbox One because "You had ONE job, Don Mattrick."

Because the thing lasted 360 days before red ringing.

Just the launch. My arcade version ran and ran and ran. I think my One will do the same. 10 years and ticking like a clock.

Let me guess - you've just recently awakened from a coma? I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but it's no longer 2007. RRoD jokes haven't been hot for like a decade and a half.

I was so stoked when I won my 360 in the Mtn Dew contest at the time, I got that shit pre-release, and had a ton fun w/ it.

It wasn't until Oblivion dropped that I got red-ringed, and in fairness, M$ replaced it for free super quick, like, 2 weeks - which was amazing in 2007 or whatever.

It's true though. Not all Xbox 360s got RROD, and it's dependent on what factory made them. My 2008 version works to this day.

RROD has been severely exaggerated by Sony fanboys and the gaming media looking for clickbait.

oh, for sure, i played that shit MANY HOURS a day for months. i got mine pre-release, so like, maybe August / September 2005, and Oblivion didn't drop until March the next year. I was playing Perfect Dark Zero and Tony Hawks' American Wasteland that whole time - as well as NFS Most Wanted and Kameo (which came w/ the console)

While official failure rates are impossible to know, surveys such as one from Game Informer in 2009 reported that the Xbox 360 failure rate was 54.2 percent. Even more alarming, the failure rate after an initial repair was 41.2 percent.Mar 16, 2023

I was unlucky that gen. I got a red ring 360. I was also one of those lucky few that got a launch Wii with a defective heat sink.

I wonder if there's some poor soul out there who got a trifecta. Red Ring, defective heat sink, and YLOD.

It's called the 360 because it was the 360th try to get rid of the RROD before finally giving up and selling it anyway.

Those surveys are flaws because they didn't specify which models. It was virtually eliminated in the Elite revision.

Never had problems with my 360, my first PS3 YLOD'd though (although after something like 4 years, and it was purchased secondhand).

My 360 ran for YEARS for hours every day before RROD and only then after I got my Xone.

Another laugh riot Sony Pony added to my block list.

Here @SocialistGamer a little song for you

The YLOD problem was so bad that BBC Watchdog made a song about it.

How do you like that you little Sony Pony!

I mean, that's still just under half of all Xboxes that didn't fail. It's not unthinkable that people out there never experienced a RROD

I got mine second-hand from my uncle and it's still in my parents basement fully functional. The worst thing that happened was that New Vegas crashed on me once or twice, but New Vegas gonna New Vegas

They didn't want to call it Xbox 2 because they were afraid people would perceive it as being weaker than PS3.

Could've called it the X and made it cube-shaped. Or just openly skipped 2; not exactly something Microsoft has a problem doing (and hardly a big deal if they did do it).

Even after 2010, multiplatform games were easier to make and ran better on the 360. Like John Carmack said:

"The PS3 is still far and away better than anything else thats ever been made... except maybe the 360." (2011)
