What does the “Xbox 360 Kid” meme mean?

Where does the “Xbox 360 Kid” meme come from?

The picture originated in a 2006 holiday gift guide produced by EB Games and GameStop to promote Microsoft’s console.

Online communities quickly turned the anonymous boy into an enduring symbol through image macros, creative cutouts, and crude MS Paint redraws.
