If you are referring to an inverter (DC to AC), I run my laptop with 150 watt unit.

Check the xbox and see what it's power consumption is. If it just gives you the current draw, multiply by 120 to get watts.

Example: If the current draw on the xbox is 500 milliamps (0.5 amps), you draw 60 watts.

Yup, I guess that's what it is. I don't know how to check the system, is it on a label somewhere?

It should be on the box that plugs into the wall outlet.

I'd get a 300 watt one just to be on the safe side cuz 2.1 amps at 120 V is 252 watts.
