I remember people on here insisting this was fine for naming.

Era is really bad at considering external perception sometimes.

Why did they choose such a stupid name for the new console? It's the Wii U all over again.

I'm not surprised. There is too many casual people out there that haven't understood the difference. I still think it was terrible to name them this way.

seriously needs to email each and everyone of those and ask if that's the one they intended to purchase in the context of series S/X

Also some all access portals were offering One S still. Can't imagine that's helped much either.

Those people didn't get the memo that they can't possibly be confused 'cus all the names make perfect sense.

What gets me is the sheer indignance of remarks like that. The insistence that some of us were making too big a deal about how terrible this naming scheme was.

One X trended after the Series X announcement. Now its sales are skyrocketing.

Uh, surprise? lmao

Unfortunately you can't fix stupid so I don't really feel bad for people in these situations.

Would've been hilarious if MS planned this whole name scheme all along in order to get bots to buy up all of their stock lol

It's more Amazon's search functions, it never even populated Xbox Series X/S in the auto-complete search area before like 12pm EST, and the Series X/S are currently cataloged under "Legacy Systems". So, this isn't really that shocking imo.

Edit:
Just checked, searching "Xbox" no mention or sight of the series X/S, searched "PlayStation" PS5 is the second result.

Ha that's pretty funny. Was looking at getting a cheap refurb Xbox One X from Amazon and it seems there will be ample stock of that in the not too distant future,

On the plus side you're getting 4K and a disk drive you buy the One X instead of the Series S. Plus plays mostly the same games, for now. But if you're after the Series X then, ouch. Should've done your homework.

They shoulda just called the Xbox One X "Xbox 4" so they wouldn't be a number behind now.

I mean, this was bound to happen. That being said, availability remains spotty (the pricing of the One X is all over the place on Amazon) and once that stock is cleared out it won't be an issue.

This surely can't be that many actual sales. The thing is discontinued and it jumped from #2,804 top seller.

Surely this is just a handful of third party sellers?

it literally says "Discontinued" in the name of the product name.

there is confusion around the naming and then there's pure stupidity.
