You’ve got to be quite the gamer to understand the hierarchy of XBOX consoles.

I have the feeling Microsoft intentionally sought to create this confusion so they can move the old stock as well. Example: Young Billy wants an Xbox for Christmas so clueless parents/grandparents go to Walmart and purchase something made by Microsoft with Xbox written on the box, preferably on sale and at a cheaper price.

There have been like 3 throughout history, right? We are to the Xbox 36One?

Base, 360, One, and Series One!

And Series X

And Xbox One S

And the Xbox Series S!

Huge if true

still waiting on the Xbox SX and then the enhanced Xbox SEX

Base, 360 (360 S, 360 E), One (One S, One X), Series (Series S and Series X)

Calling it the "S Series" or "X Series" would make sense, but "Series" as the base name of the product line is just...I mean, what were they thinking? It makes absolutely zero sense.

Meanwhile Sony's over here with PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, PS5, and all the sub-versions make perfect sense (base, slim, pro, etc).
