Because it is a higher number than 3, and people believes that higher numbers means being superior.

The area code for much of western WA is (360) and Microsoft's HQ is there. Wondered if that had something to do with it.

Do you have any evidence to prove that? Is Xbox "360" really responsible for high sales? :)

Looking back, the 360 was a pretty good system, once the slim released.

This coming from a Nintendo fanboy who dislikes online games.

So you can turn 360 degrees and get the definition of "turning 360" wrong.

People are ignorant. Source: The world around you.

Your average uniformed consumer (parent for example) sees a Playstation 3 and Xbox 2 on the shelves. They're going to assume the higher number is better.

List them.


1. Microsoft made it
2. It has a dumb name
3. Its successor has a dumber name
4. It was not quality assured well
5. Red Ring of Death
6. Xbox Live not being free
7. Crappy games
8. Its color was boring white
9. It was not backwards compatible at launch
10. It is still not backwards compatible with all OG Xbox games
11. Xbox Live is too expensive
12. Are you taking this list serious?
13. Muffins
14. Perfect Dark Zero was wrongly criticized
15. Elder Scrolls Oblivion really wasnt that good
16.
17. The Original Xbox had Halo Combat Evolved
18. It got a nerfed version of Tales of Vesparia
19. Don Matrick endorsed it
20. Phil Spencer has a punchable face
21. Microsoft created Windows
22. Bill Gates created Microsoft
23. Windows is better than Linux
24. The OG Xbox controller was wacky
25. Did I mention that there is no backwards compatibility for all OG Xbox games?
26. The Xbox One has the same problem
27. Backwards Compatibility is not taken as seriously as it should be
28. Microsoft has the word soft in it
29. Should have been Microhard
30. Or Macrohard
31.
32.
33. You still reading this list?
34. Really?
35. Go read something else.
36. Like an eBook on Amazon
37. Then go make a video review on it like all the cool kids.
38. Ill watch it. I promise
39. Sony was better
40. Nintendo was better
41. Apple was better
42. Macrohard was better
43. Valve was better
44. Steam is great
45. But Steam doesnt have Halo Combat Evolved on it
46. You know what system did?
47. The OG Xbox
48. That game was pretty fun
49. Probably doesnt hold up well today though
50. Or maybe it does.
51. Havent played it in years
52. Halo started to suck bad after the third game
53. You could really argue that it started to suck at Halo 2
54. Seriously, I hated playing as the Arbiter
55. His levels sucked
56. When I play Halo, I want the Chief
57. Then the 360 got Halo 3, which was okay.
58. Should have stopped the series there.
59. I added periods to the last two items
60. But not the last one

61. Or the one before this
62. Where was I?
63. Oh right!
64. Reasons why the 360 was the best system ever!
65. It was white! The purest color!
66. The Red Ring of Death only affected a handful of consoles
67. And it wasnt even a ring - more like a partly eaten donut
68. It has Perfect Dark Zero which was cool as hell.
69. I know people dont like that game, but I do.
70. I hated the original as it was way too similar to Goldeneye.
71. If I wanted to play Goldeneye, Id play Goldeneye
72. Zero on the other hand, updated the controls to be more like Halo
73. I played a lot of Halo if you couldnt tell
74. Those controls should have been what the original Perfect Dark had.
75. There is one level in Perfect Dark Zero that I absolutely love
76. Trinity : Infiltration
77. Fantastic level
78. There is so much player freedom in that level
79. You can go through the entire level, knock every single persons gun out of their hands, and then have them follow you all around trying to punch you to death
80. If you use the Psychosis gun, you can start a fight club and have them beat the snot out of each other
81. Its quite hilarious and some of the most fun I have ever had playing the game
82. There are many other things that Perfect Dark Zero does right, but this is a list about the 360
83. Things the 360 did well to more specific
84. What else?
85. It had Fable 2.
86. That was a decent game.
87. Many people consider it inferior to the first.
88. Eh. Id say its about on par.
89. Fable 2 might as well just be a remake of the first
90. Still not as bad as Fable 3
91. Now that was a rushed game
92. Holy cow.
93. No wonder Lionhead went under
94. With games like that being pushed out, where was the QA team?
95. The 360 also had a neat number
96. 360! It just looks good
97. Mathematically, its a full revolution if you go by degrees
98. If you go by radians, its equivalent to 2pi
99. But who uses radians?
100. Radians are for weird math theorists
101. The type of people who pursue a PhD in math and then become professors because there is nothing else for them to do
102. Dont go to college
103. Go to trade school
104. Or invent something
105. Or just commit suicide
106. The options in life really are that simple
107. Another option would be to play the 360
108. Not the worst one
109. Ive heard worse
110. The 360 has different models
111. Elite and Slim I think they were called
112. Ive owned a Slim for quite a few years now.
113. Or maybe it is an Elite
114. I dont really know
115. There is 77% battery left on my phone as I type this
116. It was at 92% when I started this post
117. iPhones suck
118. Apple sucks
119. Only people who like Apple products are the type of people who huff their own farts
120. Pretentious ass people

121. The kind of people of who prefer to go after someones spelling rather than actually argue
122. The type of people that go to Starbucks every day
123. The type of people who get offended by Trump
124. Uh-oh. Getting political
125. That shit is topical
126. Trump plays a trumpet and it trumps them all.
127. Clinton did stuff to Monica Lewinsky.
128. Hillary Clinton I mean
129. Bill just got caught
130. By the way, Obama mentioned the 360 in one of his speeches
131. Id be surprised if he even played a game on one.
132. Lets get back on track
133. Reasons why the 360 sucks
134. Who cares at this point?
135. Do you?
136. Are you even reading this?
137. Am I going insane?
138. Are we really reading things?
139. Or is it all just a simulation?
140. Is it just a game we are in?
141. Is it like the matrix
142. Is the TV watching us?
143.
144. Big brother is
145. Communism
146. Socialism
147. Both are bad
148. Capitalism
149. Meh
150. Getting all philosophical
151. I peed
152. Only a little bit
153. My prostate sucks
154. Im an old man
155. You should hear me in the bathroom some times
156. Its like the sound of someone turning a hose on and off.
157. Still dont wear diapers
158. Diapers are for weirdos
159. I do tons of laundry
160. Still know how to wipe my ass though.
161. I once knew a guy who smelled like shit
162. Turns out it was because his wiping skills sucked
163. You dont want to know how I found that out
164. It was quite a brown story
165. Like the Cleveland Browns
166. Boy, are they shitty.
167. Pun intended
168. Seriously, they are a meme at this point.
169. How can a football team be so bad?
170. Have they won anything?
171. Will they ever go to the Super Bowl?
172. If they do, will they win?
173. Will Hell be frozen by then?
174. Will I ask another question?
175. Will it be about sports?
176. What will it be?
177. Whats your favorite sandwich?
178. I love a good peanut butter sandwich
179. Its simple and sweet
180. Halfway Point!!! Hazzah!!!!

181. Did you know that 180 degrees is just pi in radians?
182. Pretty cool, huh?
183. No? Well, that means you have a low IQ.
184. Need to watch more Rick and Morty
185. Boost that IQ, son!
186. Im Pickle Rick!!!
187. That scene alone will give you a 50 point IQ boost
188. I know. Its amazing
189. The intellectual depth in Rick and Morty is unfathomable
190. Im talking out my ass
191. Ive never seen a single episode of Rick and Morty
192. And I dont want to
193. I guess I just have a low IQ
194. Like you
195. Oh well
196. Boy, are we off topic.
197. Time to get back on track: the 630
198. What a wonderful number
199. Have you woken up at 6:30 am?
200. Did you do it today?
201. Its Friday, so maybe you did.
202. I remember way back when I was in grade school, waking up at 6:30 in the morning was the norm.
203. Or close to 6:30
204. I never understood that though
205. You spend your first eighteen years of your life going to a day job essentially.
206. Yet there are people who work night shifts.
207. How do they do that?
208. How do you reverse your entire routine like that?
209. Seems really hard to do.
210. Im grateful I never had to do that.
211. You night owls are weird folk
212. Wanna be friends?
213. Owls are cool
214. Having an owl friend would be awesome
215. It would be like Harry Potter and his owl.
216. Headwig, I think his name was, right?
217. We have got to stop getting off subject like this
218. Back to the 306
219. What a weird number
220. It isnt odd, but its an awfully weird even number
221. Just doesnt look right
222. Not as weird as 603
223. Now that is one weird ass number
224. Odd and divisible by 3
225. Numbers divisible by 3 are usually weird
226. Take 51 for instance
227. Divisible by 3
228. 17 times
229. What a load of wack, Jack!
230. Leonardo leads
231. Donatello does machines
232. Raphael is cool but rude
233. Michelangelo is a party dude
234. Heroes in a half shell
235. Turtle power
236. Remember that song?
237. Lots of good tunes from the 80s
238. There is this meme Ive been obsessed with on Youtube
239. It takes songs and removes half the beats, so you only get every other beat of the song.
240. Some of the songs sound pretty good.

241. Come On, Eileen sounds decent at first with every other beat gone.
242. ATCs Around the World sounds almost the same
243. Michael Jacksons Smooth Criminal sounds odd.
244. Anyway back to the 036
245. Now that looks like an ID code for an item at a grocery store or something
246. Scan item 036 and place it in your cart
247. Those self-scanner things are weird
248. A lot of people seem befuddled by them
249. The lines to use them at my Wal-Mart is usually backed up.
250. To the point where people just leave and go to an actual cashier
251. Theres always some person operating them that has an item that just doesnt want to get scanned or the scanner doesnt pick up that the person has put the item in the bagging area
252. An employee always has to come over
253. Personally, I think a better idea would be to build the scanner into those alarm scanner things at the entrance/exit doors
254. That way, you can enter, grab your shit, and just leave completely legally.
255. Oh, but how would you pay?
256. That seems to be the problem.
257. There needs to be an interaction on your part to pay for your shit
258. I suppose you could make the scanner so that it also scans for a credit card on your body
259. But not everybody has one
260. Well have to discuss that more later
261. Back to the 063
262. Oh.
263. That number just looks awful
264. No wonder Microsoft never used that
265. I mean Macrohard
266. Macrohard is a manly name
267. For manly men
268. Who do manly things
269. With other men
270. My battery life is now at 68%
271. We still have about 80 something reasons left
272. Are you really reading this far?
273. Or are you the type of guy who just randomly picked a number to land on in this list?
274. Or are you the type of guy who started from 360 and is going back up?
275. Boy are you gonna be confused
276. Half of this list wont even make sense
277. The context will be all over the place
278. I guess you could play a game with this list
279. Pick a number between 1 and 360 and read the item on this list
280. Then go out back and lay in the grass
281. Preferably on some dog poo
282. Get that all mixed in with the fabrics of your clothes
283. Be one with the poo
284. Then go around town and shake everybodys hand and proclaim yourself as Dog Poo Man
285. The Superhero we need, but not the one we need
286. I dont even know what that means
287. Youre the superhero we deserve, but not the one we deserve
288. Wait.
289. I think it is more like this
290. Youre the superhero we need, but also the one we deserve
291. Or like this
292. Youre the superhero we dont need, but the one we crave
293. Something about Christopher Nolan
294.
295. Man, I am getting tired
296. Anybody else sleepy?
297. So many Zs in my head
298. Gotta catch them and count those sheep
299.
300. Theres one!

301.

303. Oh. Those two are getting together.
304. Theyre doing something
305. O-oh. Oh my.
306. Hide the childrens eyes.
307. Lesbian sheep sex is not for anyones eyes.
308.
309. I cant stop looking
310. Its actually keeping me awake
311. Might as well join in
312.
313. Nah. Im only kidding.
314. Im not into beastiality
315. Thats gross man.
316. There is a fetish out there though
317. Damn furries
318. Thanks Disney and your anthropomorphic animals
319. Youve inspired an entire generation to get it on with a different species
320. I cannot wait for the day when some nut decides to have sex with insects
321. You watch, theyll be a guy somewhere who will find a way to insert his semen into a bugs ovaries.
322. Thatll be a surreal version of the Fly film
323. What were we talking about?
324. The 360?
325. Right. Right.
326. Well, its outdated.
327. We got the One now.
328. The One and only
329. All hail the Xbox One
330. And all its TVs
331. And sports
332. And Call of Duty
333. One of the most exciting new editions to your squad is a dog
334. This is someone you care about
335. Xbox One reveal circa 2013
336. Man, that was a fun time.
337. So many memes
338. And Don Matrick lost his job
339. Where is he now?
340. Some other company that does dumb shit?
341. I wonder if Microsoft regrets going into the video game industry
342. Probably not
343. Theyve made heaps of cash off Xbox Live
344. And have convinced gamers to pay for something additional.
345. The work of a fine car salesmen.
346. And other companies have picked it up
347. And now everyone is A-OK paying for something that used to be free
348. Gotta love how businesses work
349. I wonder what theyll think of next
350. Maybe making you pay a dollar every time you pause a game.
351. Video games suck these days
352. But lets not end on a downer
353. Remember when I asked what your favorite sandwich was?
354. Well?
355. What is it?
356. I am dying to know
357. In fact, Im already dead.
358. Youve been reading a list made from a zombie this whole time.
359. Now give me your brains!
360.

They should have called it the Xbox 2

Sony's next console at the time was the PlayStation 3, so it's fairly obvious why they didn't want to call it the Xbox 2.
