Because they’re making Xbox Series games
(I was seriously thinking the new console was called “xbox one series S”)
Microsoft saw Nintendo make the sequel to the Wii the Wii U and said " that’s an awesome naming convention, lets do that until the end of time"
I’m pretty tuned into gaming news, and although I haven’t owned an Xbox since the 360 era I still keep an eye on gaming console hardware. I have no clue at all which Xbox is which. This naming convention is even worse than the ill-fated ‘Wii-U’.
At least with the PlayStation I know the bigger number is newer and the pro version is better than the non-pro and that slim means small.
I sympathize with the moms and grandmas of the world trying to shop for the Xbox gamers in their life. It’s a minefield of confusing names.
Microsoft has always weird names
They should call the next one “Xbox 2” just to mess with people
