>The name didn’t help either.

It all goes back to Microsoft not naming the 360 "Xbox 3" with some lame excuse for why it did so. Yes, everyone would have laughed, but no one would remember or care today that the "Xbox 5" isn't actually the fifth Xbox.

The Xbox 360 was only the second xbox.

Though at the time we joked they just needed a triangle based word in the name for the follow up and they'll have all the main PS buttons covered in the title.
