It's been a while since we'd last heard the term "SexBox." Too long, in fact. Thankfully, Silicon Xtal Corporation is bringing it back, recently registering a trademark for the word first brought up surrounding the great Mass Effect sex debacle of 2008. According to the filing, SXC intends on making a video game system "which plays interactive Adult Only rated (AO) video game software titles."
Considering only around 20 AO-rated titles even exist and no major game publisher currently publishes them, we were left wondering what exactly the business model here will be -- that is, until we read the rest of the description. In addition to specializing in AO games, the SexBox will also give users access to "AO content and entertainment in all other digital forms," which in this case means a ton of delivery methods. "Audio, video, HDTV, DVD, online, gaming, social networking, webcams, video on-demand, downloading, movie rentals, purchases ..." and the list goes on. Finally, somewhere to go for all the mature content we can get! Unfortunately, it appears that someone beat them to it.

To think that technology has come so far, yet no-one has harnessed a tenth of that power for fapping. The pornography industry's definition of "Interactive" seems to currently be limited to branching FMV scenes shot in POV.
I ask you: whatever happened to the magical world of porn which drove VHS into everybody's homes? I should be wanting to purchase a 3D Bravia to play Seyemore Butts vs Zombie Tushy in Hell, not because James Cameron is making a movie about blue alien chicks.

Bah, the Japanese is way ahead of this game, with plenty of hentai/ecchi games on all the existing platforms. Besides, there's a thing called a PC.

When Kotaku reported it, they found an image of something in Japan already that's called SexBox. It only costs ¥2700, so there can't be much there.

In reality, no one will buy this and no one will develop games for it. Rockstar is the only popular video game company who has made more then one title that has been marked with an AO rating (before the content was altered to fit an M rating). I don't see this "SexBox" coming to fruition.

I already have one of these, it's called a PC and it sucks for gaming but is great for free porn.

Will Microsoft sue for having a trademark that sounds too similar to their xbox trademark?

At least we should get a new version of Jumping Flash now.
