Because they're making Xbox Series games

(I was seriously thinking the new console was called "xbox one series S")

I feel like Microsoft at least does a better job of getting across that their systems are new and different. Nintendo put so much focus on that damn controller.

As much as I loathe Nintendo's business end, The xbox series has absolutely horrendous naming system.

Nintendo fucked up mainly for Wii=> Wii U, Microsoft has been a shitshow since 360, mainly coz they picked 360 and didn't consider what they'll go to next.

And the ONE moniker for a buttload of services is absolute bullshit when it isn't the first device/product from that brand.

And then they went to Series? That's absolutely shit as a naming convention for a single generation as well.

Stg the project names are a lot better than the final marketing names.

Xenon, Durango, Scarlett. Definitely better IMHO.
