Seeing it altogether- the naming is really quite ridiculous.

I never was an xbox guy, so talking about them is confusing because of the naming scheme. They lost me after the 360.

Xbox - 2001
Xbox 360 - 2005
Xbox One - 2013
Xbox One S - 2016
Xbox One X - 2017
Xbox Series S|X - 2020

Though, seeing it laid out like this makes it look like the S|X(6) was intentional. But clearly that’s too much credit for whoever is constantly day drunk while naming.

Microsoft is one of the worst companies at naming things. Only second to how Sony names their headphones.

Speak for yourself, the MDR-XB950N1 is a brilliant name.
