watch videos. The xbox was made by micosoft in 2000 by Bill Gates. Citing the steady growth in games over the years (an estimated 200 million games sold in 1999 alone, Gates explained how a platform such as the Xbox can succeed in the marketplace by offering new opportunities for gaming.The platform has a custom 733MHz Intel CPU along with a Microsoft/NVIDIA-designed GPU capable of performing more than one trillion operations per second, this frees the CPU to do other things rather than being bogged down with polygons or textures.The symbol of the Xbox is a DirectX-box", to show the extensive use of DirectX within the console's technology.[5] "Xbox" was the final name decided by marketing, but the console still retains some hints towards DirectX, most notably the "X"-shaped logo, which DirectX is famous for, along with the "X" shape on the top of the system.
