The Legendary Xbox: More than Just a Console
How Microsoft Almost Gave the Original Xbox Console an Awkward Naming Scenario
Almost an Awkward Naming Moment for the Original Xbox Console
Are you a proud owner of multiple Xbox consoles? You know, those glorious machines that transport you to gaming paradise? But have you ever wondered what the correct collective noun for a group of Xbox consoles is? “Xboxes” just doesn’t feel right, does it? Well, according to Seamus Blackley, the genius behind the original Xbox, there was almost something even weirder floating around during its development. Apparently, there was a fierce debate over whether to call it the DirectXbox. But hold on a minute! Imagine trying to pluralize that. Yep, you guessed it—definitely the “most awkward” choice. Thank goodness they settled on the simple and elegant name, Xbox.
Oh, and by the way, if you want to dive into the fascinating history of the Xbox’s development, you absolutely have to check out the documentary mini-series called “Power On: The Story of Xbox”. It’s available to watch for free on YouTube, so prepare yourself for some epic entertainment.
Now let’s fast-forward to the present. It’s 2023, and the Xbox Series X|S generation is celebrating its third birthday. Man, has it been a fantastic year for this gaming juggernaut. We were blessed with amazing Xbox-exclusive games that made our hearts race and our thumbs ache in the best possible way. I’m talking about titles like Forza Motorsport, Hi-Fi Rush, and Planet of Llana. Believe me when I say these games are jaw-droppingly good.
But hold on to your controllers, folks, because the future of Xbox is looking even more mind-blowing. Get ready for Avowed, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, and the legendary collaboration between Hideo Kojima and Xbox Studios for the enigmatic OD project. Can you feel the goosebumps? I sure can.
So, to recap, Xbox continues to conquer the gaming world with its innovative consoles, mind-blowing exclusive games, and exciting collaborations. If you want to experience gaming bliss, hitch a ride on the Xbox train and get ready for an adventure like no other.
