Joke aside, it's really confusing.

What absolute fucking retard decided to name xbox consoles this way?

Jokes aside. Who the fuck was in charge of naming the console? At least playstation is straightforward by just adding a 5 and that's it. Meanwhile xbox has to name it almost the same as the other consoles

>when you need a flowchart and a calculator to determine which console is the newest one
i remember when nintendo's "New" branding was seen as stupid

Because whoever wrote that tweet is a retard. Just say
>Xbox Series S gives less of a performance boost to backward compatible titles than Xbox Series X

The next Xbox will be named the Xbox XS.

Screencap this, for when it comes true within 7 years time.

NOT THIS THREAD AGAIN

The naming scheme is fine, it’s just not retard proof.

There's already other threads like this?
Sorry then, I'm not on Zig Forums all day everyday.

It comes up when you search for Series X, no joke

>XboneX is discontinued for months before release to avoid confusion
>Literally impossible to find online the day before the reveal
>Suddenly it's back on sale everywhere
I'm still calling bullshit

They all play the same games so who cares

Wasn't this proven fake like two months ago

i don't understand why xbox needs to make a budget version of the console when consoles are already the budget option in the first place

>, it’s just not retard proof.
The most popular games on both the ps and xbox are braindamage ball simulators and dying for israel propaganda. If you're console name isn't retard proof, than you are fucked.

It's the wii u all over again isn't it

problem is if they just numbered the xboxes they would be one number behind playstation. retards would look at xbox 4 and ps5 and think "hmm, 5>4" and pick the playstation due to that alone.

And that makes whoever give it’s name the biggest retards of all because it’s fucking video games

They can just skip a number. It's retarded, but a bunch of companies have done it already and set the precedent. Oneplus 3 - > 5. Windows 8 - > 10. Also, Microsoft has released enough bullshit in between consoles by now they can pretend one of them was the 4th.

Retard? You kidding? The Xbox consoles were NOT selling. There was a metric fuckton of back stock. What better way to purge stock than to give the successors a confusing and similar name and sell off the wrong toy to unsuspecting buyers? Guarantee you all of them won't go for a return.

It's a console so it needs to be

People are not that stupid. They are clearly two different products.

>People are not that stupid.

Just FYI the Xbox One X was discontinued a while back. There might be some remaining inventory online but I haven’t seen one in a physical store in several months.

I stopped by this thread just to say that I seriously don't even know what the new Xbox model is called. I don't know if people are trolling me here or what. What genius thought these kinds of naming conventions made any kind of sense? If me, a gamer is confused by this, how much more confused is a mother trying to make her kids happy this holiday season? This is sheer stupidity.

Series X replaces the One X as the top tier model

Series S replaces the One S as the cheaper option

I actually think it was the right way to go.

>it’s just not retard proof.
And who do you think you're selling these consoles too?

consoles are designed for retards, not making it retard-proof is a flaw

>People are not that stupid
Yes we are.

Releasing several models at the same time is a very bad idea, especially with names as confusing as these

this is why the WiiU failed
this is why the shitbox will fail

I disagree because not only does the Series S look completely different, it costs $200 less. It might take a little while but I think customers will understand that X = premium and S = lower specs but cheaper.

"one" I get bc misofort was really into the "one" terminology for their shit (see: onedrive)
but "series" is just retarded. They should've called it xbox 4 and call it a day.

its the same problem but its a different response and a lesser amount of people
people didn't actively go buy new wiis when the wii u came out
