Yeah, as someone who has never owned an Xbox I have little to say about the Original, I remember the 360 as an unreliable red ring of death piece of junk, the One had that galaxy brained name. That’s the kind of decision you can’t make snorting normal people cocaine, you’ve got to have that Fortune 500 executive cocaine to name the third product in a series the “One.”
The “One” was announced as being a privacy invasion machine that might someday have video games patched onto it; always on internet connection and a required Kinect. That got backpedaled, and everything else I know about that console was Yahtzee saying there weren’t any games for it then he stopped mentioning it.
After the “Please stop calling it the XBone”, was there a One S that isn’t the Series S? And the Series S and Series X are almost as bad as Linux software names. Best Buy employees across the English speaking world have to stop to enunciate “The Series ESS, or the Series ECKSS?” It’s like they watched Nintendo kick themselves in the dick naming a console the Wii U, and took it as a challenge.
Microsoft has done an amazing job generating apathy for their gaming division.
