Xbox turns 20, when he used a symbol of the war against Japan.

The history of videogames is full of surprises and curiosities, and the case of xbox, the first Microsoft console that is 20 years , is not exempt. In fact, its hidden creation of any more morbid details in this world.

Today, at 20:00 you can enjoy a hobbydirect on our Twitch and YouTube channels dedicated to 20th anniversary of Xbox, in which we are going to comment on some curiosities of the machine. But before, we want to highlight one of the Names you had before setting on sale.

During the development of Xbox, the console passed through different denominations . This is something that we are used to, and over the years we have already known machines like Ultra 64 (after Nintendo 64), Project Dolphin (Gamecube) or the same Project Scorpio, which was put on sale as Xbox One X.

This curiosity occurred during 1999, when Seamus Blackley entered to work in Microsoft. A team that was also Ed Fries, under the direction of Robbie Batch , had proposed to create an American console.

It should be a response to ps2, which of course be superior in power and in benefits. And the orders to create this super videogame machine came from very high, directly from Bill Gates (at that time the company s president of the company It was Steve Ballmer).

Different names were shuffled during the development of the machine, which demonstrated the possibilities of the machine. One of them was WEP (Windows Entertainment Project) by the compatibility provided with the company s operating system , keep in mind that Dreamcast had already worked with a version of Windows CE.

11 games that come to GamePass at the end of October

Another name of the names that was shuffled was Direct X Box (for the possibility of using the application library, to facilitate the development of video games) . But without a doubt, the most curious of all of them was Project Midway.

Aliens Armageddon (Full Arcade Game; Direct Capture) Initially Midway referring that the console was going to be an intermediate step between the previous consoles and the PC (for being the first machine that incorporated a hard drive to install the games or by its powerful Internet connection to play online ).

This name, however, had a double meaning. Project Midway also referred to the Battle of Midway. This confrontation was one of the decisive moments of the Second World War , and took place in the Pacific, in June 1942.

During battle, Navy and North American aviation defeated the Japanese and made them lose four aircraft carriers. What better metaphor to talk about a machine that had been designed to defeat PS2 ?

Obviously this name was not used commercially, and it was only a small joke among Microsoft engineers, while the final denomination was found for the console, which is now celebrating the 20th anniversary. Here you can see the 20 best Xbox games.
