Well actually pwn is just a mis-typed own since the o and the p are next to each other in a keyboard. Another variation is pwned.
But Personally Owned works as well lol.
Also it's not just an Xbox 360 term. This is widely used all over the internet.

Everytime I hear it by a little kid it makes me cringe. It is just the same when they try to speak l33t.
