360 means full circle, like it's the center of your gaming universe. Or, they just didn't want to name it Xbox 2 and look behind the PlayStation 3.
The Xbox 360 got its name because Microsoft wanted to signify a sense of a full circle, immersive experience. It represents a complete entertainment system, not just a gaming console. Also, 'Xbox 360' just sounds cooler than 'Xbox 2'!
Honestly, it's just marketing lingo to sound cool.
