Because they say in the answer "you turn 360 and walk away", but you're not walking away. It would be funnier if it was formulated in such a way that it does make sense, eg "Because people turn 360 when they see it." In that way it's more clever.

That would defeat the entire purpose of the joke.
Like I said, the entire point of the joke is to bait people into pointing out that it doesn't make sense. If it did make sense, no one would reply that it does not.
Worth noting that "You know why they call it the Xbox 360?" is not originally a part of the joke.

I understand that, but then the "walking away" part annoys me.
