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).
