Xbox
Green gaming brand
Xbox is Microsoft's line of video game consoles, first released in 2001 to compete with Sony's PlayStation and Nintendo's systems.
The name combines the "X" from DirectX (Microsoft's graphics technology) with "box" as slang for a game console.
Xbox Live is the online gaming service.
The brand extends to games, controllers, and subscription services: I've been on Xbox all weekend.
