The next-gen Xbox is actually just named Xbox
- Thread starter Deleted member 30005
- Start date
They're hinting that the Series X is but one of many Xboxes they'll release
I too thought it was fairly obvious what the naming meant...
Yeah.
I and others made the point it was just simply called "(The New) Xbox" in the naming thread but that seemed to be lost on most.
"Series X" instead of "X". But just "Xbox" instead of "Xbox One".
So basically like (New) iPad.

Xbox: Series C = Cloud box (runs game logic locally but streams all else from the cloud)
Xbox: Series S = Standard/Slim
Xbox: Series X = Xtra power
Xbox: Series XX = Mid generation refresh

I assumed it was called XBox Series X since that's what they called it.
No it wasn't. To me that reads like multiple units would come under a series called Series X.
What you just said is "The next Playstation, Playstation 5, is called Playstation. Thats why theres a 5 there." lol people aren't complaining about calling it Xbox
Nah, it'll likely be just Series X and Series S, and iterations within that series. Maybe a Series C for pure cloud streaming.
I dunno why the wanna use so many "X's"
The Xbox One X is peak non-sense. Xbox naming conventions in general are terrible.

This is so stupid.
How many times do you need to use the letter X in your name? Do you not realize its confusing for those not following things closely like those on forums?
Is it just Xbox now, and then they'll have new subnames?
Is it Xbox Series X, with subnames following that?
Won't parents and the like be confused by the Xbox One X and Xbox Series X? Not to mention the Xbox One S, etc.
At least with numbers or completely new names a la Sony PS5 and Nintendo Switch people can tell what is what.
Series X still confuses even me - i don't understand if that's just the series name, and that it's going to be called the Xbox X, and subsequent versions will be Xbox X Pro or whatever.
It just doesn't seem well thought out to me. Also there's just the cringe that comes with trying to be this 'hardcore' with overusing the 'X' in every iteration of every name.

Ngl the fact that the name had to be clarified speaks volumes to how it isnt a really good name at all
Exactly. Its too uncessarily complicated and muddled. If people on forums have issues then what of the mainstream public?
It was not obvious at all. See like every single news article about it.
Nah.
Lockhart will be Xbox Series S
If Microsoft releases a micro-console or device that needs xCloud to work, that would probably be called Xbox Series C.

XBOX X (Anaconda) high-end
XBOX S (Lockhart) - less expensive, less powerful, digital only, but still local hardware)
Xbox Cloud - very inexpensive, must have xCloud, streaming only.

People were working really hard not to understand the name.
Shoutout to that one guy who thought the console that was revealed had an as-yet-unrevealed name and that that "Xbox Series X" somehow meant both it AND the One X
I totally get that Microsoft wants their brand to just be Xbox. But all of their naming conventions have been whack. Even when the 360 came out I thought it was silly to call it that.
I survived working in an office with middle aged peeps during the Wii U and the Xbox One I'll make it through this.
