One word, no dash.
The 'X' should have a 'Z' sound then, surely? Otherwise it's a travesty of English grammar convention, which shall not be stood for!
"Zbox"
How do you pronounce "Zb"? Can't flow from a 'zzz' to a consonant - it's not possible, so you need a vowel sound.
"zubox"
"zabox"
"zebox"
"zibox"
"zobox"
Yeah, one of those. Which do you think would suit it best?

Asking how Xbox is pronounced is like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg:
Its obviously the chicken, as chickens would have had to evolve to be able to lay eggs. They would have developed the abitlity to lay the egg, therefore the chicken came first...
What were we talking about again?
