X stands for the x in sex, and the x in vex, and the x in jug, but nothing else.

Or maybe its the X-Box because it has a big X on the box ad the X doesnt even stand for anything?

X also marks the spot where it is easiest to kill a person when you whack them with the console...

You know the way before you install a game on your PC you have to install a little program called DirectX?

The team who code the DirectX program apparatly put foward ideas of a DirectX console. And so Xbox came to be known.
