What do you mean bro its Xbox then Xbox 360 then Xbox One which has the S variant and the … not S variant… and… wait did I forget something? Xbox One X is in there somewhere?
Right yeah but you see the S variant is reasonably priced even though it can barely run any games from its generation but its backwards compatible but not really so you wanna get the X Box One X because even though its way above the promised price point it can play most games from its generation but you gotta watch out because even though its advertised as being able to do 4K in reality it has to lower graphics quality and frame rate when in 4K mode for most of the games where you would want to be able to do you know 4K60fps at high graphics and youre gonna need a 4K capable TV with all the right tech specs thats actually fairly big and thus expensive to notice a substantial difference at 4K that, as previously mentioned, will often times be negated by the game having to ironically lower graphics quality setting to display at 4K.
I love how all of that could’ve been just made up. I stopped caring after the 360. I liked the 360, i think it was great. In 2020 or 21 i was in a electric store and thought why shouldn’t i buy an xbox for my home cinema. I was in the xbox isle and i was honestly baffled. Why is this xbox so much cheaper than this xbox? What does the s mean? Is it small? Is x xtra small, or large? Which one is the new one? I assume there is a new one since there is a new playstation out, but not for sale.
I never felt so old in my life.
Wait, are you saying I actually got that all correct?
See, honest to God or Flying Spaghetti Monster or whatever, I did actually think that I missed something.
Like thats how fucking nonsense all of this is, I apparently was correct, from memory, but was also still so confused I thought I was wrong.
At least with fucking Sony the naming convention isnt totally insane, even if some of the same bullshit about 4K and variants of the later models is still confusing.
The new generation is much simpler, if you hate ownership then get the xbox series s, which is different from the Xbox one s and has no disk slot but also it runs at a lower framerate and can’t do high resolution gaming. The Xbox series x, which is different from the Xbox one x, has a disk slot and is better in every way except it’s a giant monolith that you need to figure out how to fit in your setup.
Yah, theyve tried so hard to avoid sequential numbering as they would appear to be lagging behind PlayStation making the laymen think the PlayStation equivalent is newer.
If they followed numbers it would look something like:

See, its simple!

At this point I am actually laughing out loud as I legitimately have no idea if this is entirely correct, entirely false or a mix of both.
Very good naming schemes fucking incredible.
It’s entirely accurate.

You’re off by one. The 360 was the second Xbox.
Just the formatting didn’t do it any favors, I’ll see if I can fix it.
