Sadly, i just recently realized what the hell xbox actually means.

Hackers call a computer a "box."

"X" , of course, symbolizes coolness and mystique.

Thus forth: XBOX. Cool isn't it.

Yes, i know my new-found discovery will be laughed upon by some of you, but hey, most people think the "box" in "xbox" is simply refering to the actual shape of the xbox.

Now as for gamecube, it's name is far too basic. Cube is just a shape and has no other meaning. And anyhow, the system doesn't even take the shape of a cube!
