I don’t understand the naming convention. It’s not clear to me which is supposed to be the new console, as someone who is not thoroughly informed on the matter, and I think that is a marketing mistake.
It started because they would be on the Xbox 2 when PlayStation was on the PlayStation 3 and they didn’t want to seem lesser so they started making up stupid bullshit for every console
I’d argue it all started, because Microsoft is Microsoft: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Microsoft_Windows_versions#Personal_computer_versions
360 wasnt horrible but halfway through that gen Xbox just went full fuck up and kept that trend going
100%, someone who used to sell the units the amount of confusion we would get from Grandma’s coming in wanting to buy their grandkids a new console and having both the One X and the Series X out was tough to explain. It was always the same puzzled look of “who the hell greenlit that naming choice”
I’d like an X but also haven’t really seen much to push me to upgrade from the One X I currently have. The only thing I haven’t been able to play is Flight Simulator and I’d kind of rather be on PC for that. It’s probably cheaper to get the console than build a PC, but my wife got me a Quest 2 a couple years ago and VR seems like it would be pretty fun in Flight Simulator.
Same. GTA VI is the only thing I’m really waiting for, but I may as well wait for the next console generation to play it at this point.
