For now, let's just agree to call it the Xbox 4.

"My Name is Xbox" will clearly be the next iteration in this franchise.
100 = 4 in binary
Boom!

So 360 was called that because "Xbox 2" would've sounded inferior to "PS3", right?
It'd be kind of funny if Xbox called their next console "Xbox 6" or something haha.

Xbox 5. There have been 4 distinct hardware configurations of the Xbox - Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox One X. The One X is still part of the same generation, but the internal hardware is drastically different.
Any next gen Xbox will be the 5th distinct hardware configuration of the Xbox family.
It also creates marketing parity with the PS5.

Thread backfire op, sorry. Op I'm sure you had good intentions and all but a message board like this or any others for that matter don't like being told what to say.
I'll only call it the Xbox4 if that's short for XXXbox4twenty Blaze It Edition.
If we can agree on that then let's proceed.

It will just be Xbox. Sony should drop the numbering also. Once you get into double digits it just sounds dumb. I mean.... Playstation 14 does not sound interesting at all. Pretty sure this is why Apple skipped '9' and instead went to 'X'.
Are you being intentionally dumb or do you need the relationship explained to you?
It's intentional. I don't need you to stretch the relationship between software names and XboxGamesBox hardware names to prove a silly point about Microsoft skipping numbers. Numbers they don't even use for said hardware since they came into the market.
I like this, but it can be improved. We can then drop the Zeros, and just say Xbox TuTu.

I believe that Microsoft has a good case to call their next system, Xbox 5. An original idea was to call Xbox 360, Xbox 3, and have it stand for three pillars to make sense of the name, because they didn't want the platform to sound inferior as Xbox 2, to Sony's PlayStation 3.
The did something similar to the three pillar concept, but of course went with Xbox 360, as in "all-in-one" piece of hardware.
Xbox One is once again, kind of an "all-in-one" sounding name. The Xbox One X is four years removed from the original Xbox One, which is the same amount of time between their first system and its successor, so both timewise and hardware improvement-wise, I think they have a case going for them, to somewhat retroactively consider the Xbox One X as their fourth piece of hardware.
Unless they come up with some different theme, I think they were just called Xbox 5.

It wouldn't be unprecedented for Xbox to skip number(s). Beyond skipping to Windows 10, I'm pretty sure the latest version of Word skipped three numbers from 2016 to 2019.
