I thought it was called the 360 because when you see it you turn 360 degrees and walk away.

It was a meme when the 360 got released.

It was called 360 because they didn't want to release an Xbox 2 when PS already had 3. So they came up with 360 bullshit because it's kind of like 3. So now PS are conveniently numbered and I have no idea which Xbox is the newest.

You turn 360 degrees youre still walking towards it.
