Microsoft needs to have the courage to call the next Xbox, Xbox 5.

Well, they did have the courage to name the 2nd Xbox the Xbox 360 in order to appear "bigger" compared to the PS3, so........Not sure what they were thinking with the One though.
unconventional but not random, they pretty much all have some interesting explanation or idea behind, going with just a 5 wouldn't really suit their naming schemes history I don't think, also it's clearly not their 5th gen of consoles but 4th, also not even their 5th revision or spec if you are going to count the X you should probably count the S for example.
I don't see it being called just 'Xbox'. They need a brand push that people know is a new device.
Xbox 10 feels like something Microsoft would do, Windows 10 and twice as good, lol.
I wonder how bad a decision this is for them right now, must be a nightmare hope Sony is cruising with simple number upgrades.

I'd rather them call it the Xbox 5 than the weird shit they've gone with up until this point. They'd catch a lot of "lulz jealous of sony" heat for a short period of time and then we could rest easy knowing that they'd probably stick with simple numbers for the rest of the Xbox platform's lifetime.
The One X is good enough to have been a the fourth incarnation of the Xbox on its own so...Xbox 5 sounds good.
Wouldn't "Xbox i" be because "The exclusives are imaginary."
Meh, id rather they just call it Xbox. I don't think they need the numbering or naming system anymore.
I think Xbox is going to be an iterative brand from now on anyway

You can't count a hardware upgrade as a new generation or a new console, The One X is just a Xbox with more power, that's all.

They should call it X Box Zero to stick with the tradition
You have the Xbox
Then the Xbox 360, which means you went in a circle but still didn't go anywhere
Then the Xbox One, like step one, your starting point, still haven't gone anywhere yet
Then Xbox Zero, still at the same place

They call it Xbox 360 because you turn 360 degrees and walk away
The S is just a minor refresh of the original Xbox One, though. It still shares the same internals. The Xbox One X is much closer to a new console, with an updated CPU, a RX580 style GPU and 12GB GDDR5. It is still built on the same architecture, but it is a major upgrade of all the internal components.
And yeah, I am sure all their consoles so far have some weird internal logic behind each name. But it still comes off as letting a PR team name the console to whatever is trendy.
I kind of do like Xbox V. I think that works.
