Microsoft are in trouble again folks. Apparently their X-box name is already paternted by another company. This is just what Microsoft needs! They get all this free advertising from speculation in magazines, then they have to go and change the name of the console! What are Microsoft to do?!!...

...well, they could change the name to:

X-Cube, or is that too near to Game-Cube (allegedly pre-owned by Sega but given to Nintendo)

X-Station, hm, heard something similar somewhere...

X-treme, might get sued by a rock band.

X-factor, isn't that a shampoo?

No, Microsoft have definately got a problem there. They will have to employ someone for millions of dollors to come up with a new name. I'm just off to apply now...

XBox is what its referred as to try to get out of the patent problem- besides its already a registered trademark by Microsoft.
