Kane99 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 With all the confusion around the new Xbox Series X name, it got me thinking. Instead of outright calling it the Xbox Series X, why not just go with Series Xbox or something? People are already confusing it with the Xbox One X, which is very close in name to the series X. So, instead, just call it the Series Xbox or something. Or even Xbox Series or something. Just anything besides this Xbox Series X. What do you guys think?

Peterlight Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I don't see a reason why they needed to make different series, why can't they just make a simply named Xbox console. They can simply make it Xbox max, Xbox total, Xbox final and others. The series stuff is just not part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Farrell Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I think they just want to differentiate from the other console makers. I find their console naming weird too. With like the xbox 360, I figured the reason for the name was that you had far better abilities than the original xbox, and could use features you could never use before without tons and tons of adapters. Then they went with the Xbox 1, which added to the confusion of the x-box numbering, because it is technically #3 on the list of consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably why they have caused confusion with their console names in recent years. The Xbox One was a dumb choice imo. People at the time, suggested just calling it Xbox. Which I think they should have done. It would make it easier for consumers to know what they're getting and it'd sell a lot easier too I imagine. I just think, it would be a good idea for them to call the new console something else, maybe just Xbox like I said. Or call it Xbox 4 or something.

The Blackangel Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Simply put: The people at Microsoft are fucking stupid. It's an American company. What the hell else would you expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 This is Microsoft's thing - confusing names to really confuse the hell out of everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Their thinking is probably that if they come up with confusing names, then people will buy the wrong system, and then when they go for the one they actually wanted the screw up was entirely on the consumer, and thus making Microsoft more money. Someone goes in to buy their kid an Xbox Series X and they accidentally get an Xbox One X. Then they have to buy another system to get the right one. Many places won't allow returns for you just buying the wrong thing. That's on you in their opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 To cut it short, it should be called the Xbox X version. If you call it Xbox series X, their is still no problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clasher Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I don't really see any problem with the name Microsoft Gave to the console, Xbox series X sounds pretty fine to me. And why would anyone be mistaking it to the Xbox one X I don't see how that correlate either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I think they should have just gone with Xbox Or Xbox X and Xbox S if they are also coming out with a lower cost system. At this point no one is going to confuse the og Xbox with the new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see it working fine. I think that was the intention of the Xbox Series X, to be upgradeable if needed, and so I figure, why not just keep it at Xbox and give it a version number with each new release. Do Xbox 2, Xbox 3, who cares. Honestly it sounds better than Series X. We already had Xbox One, so just jump to 2, 3, 4, etc. Do what PS is doing. Simple.

Calling all of them Xbox consoles with different numbers can make it easier for everyone to know just like Sony did with Playstation 1-5 and counting.
