Well, I'm confused now, lol. So they're coming full circle.
I called the Xbox 360 the 360 because I thought that signified the gen. I guess some could call the Xbox One the One for the same reasons.
In my mind, Series X is what 360 was.
Like they're all called Xbox like all Sony home consoles are called PlayStation.
What comes next is the differentiator: 360, One, 1, 2, 3, 4.
"Hey I got a PlayStation" Ok, which one? "Insert number here"
"Hey, I got an Xbox" Ok, which one? "Insert name here"
I don't know....I guess it's how we each see the names.
Yeah this is how I see it. For all practical purposes the Series X is a new, separate console in a new console generation.
If they release a Series S (or whatever letter) then people will just consider the "Series" as the console, much like there's a PS4 and PS4 Pro - same console generation, different models.
