It's called the xbox 360 because when you see it, you'll turn 360 degrees and walk away.

But if you turn 360 degrees you’ll walk straight into it

That was the joke, at the time, yes, back in 2005 or whenever it was exactly. At least that eventually became the joke, even if it wasn't initially. But it was just a way to make fun of the dumb name for the console when it was announced. Here's the know your meme page about it

Although yeah because of this, someone did make this animated gif of Michael Jackson walking up to an xbox 360, spinning 360 degrees, and then moonwalking away, so that the joke still fits.

Hope this is still animated as I upload it but if not you might have to Google "xbox 360 Michael Jackson gif"

Here's the gif
