Xbox is a
household name today, but a recently unearthed
EDGE interview with
Seamus Blackley has revealed that this name almost didn't make the early cut. Microsoft asked Blackley's team for a name change due to legal reasons, and it suggested a wave of cringe-worthy acronyms that included MARZ (Microsoft Active Reality Zone) and VERV (Virtual Entertainment & Reality Venture). We all know who won the debate, but it's entertaining to think of what might have been. Check the full list of rejected names at the source link -- and be glad that you're not lining up to buy the
latest Halo game for your Microsoft Entertainment & Gaming Attendant.
