OK, maybe this has been discussed before, and if so please close this thread, but I'm curious as to what the official pitch was for the name "X360." At one point I thought I had read something about 360 degrees of freedom in movement or something like that.
The reason I ask is that it seems to me it has more to do with marketing, and that Microsoft didn't want to have a "2" something out there while Sony has a "3" something. This way the "average" consumer sees a "3" on both products which makes them essential equal.
I'll be picking up both, so please I have no alternative motive about this other than to find out how the name came about. Thanks!
