Also you have the Xbox one (original vcr model with kinect) Xbox one S, and Xbox One X.

Then on the "Series" line you have Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X.

So many people can think "X" or "S" as being a "Series", something of a kind, and confusing a "xbox one X" with a "xbox series X". - You have a series X? oh yeah, i have the xbox one X.

Also the looks of the xbox one S and the xbox series S is quite similar...

Not sure why didn't called xbox 2022 pro and slim or something.

And it's a shame, i have an xbox series x and is actually a great product.

Wait, the Xbox One S/X and the Xbox Series S/X are different things?! I actually never realised that.

Yep! Xbox One was their generation parallel to the Playstation 4, and Xbox Series is their current generation parallel to the Playstation 5. All the X and S after those are tier differentiators.

They really need someone better naming their consoles.

Ugh, yeah, finally something with even worse version naming than the Apple Watch. (There's a thing called an Apple Watch Series 1. Confusingly, it's _not_ the first one; it is the cheaper cut-down version of the _second_ generation product; the first-gen product didn't have a version name at all).
