I feel like there has to be some weird cultural problem at Microsoft where nobody wants to speak up about obviously bad ideas.

They destroyed the entire Xbox brand overnight and hampered any chance at recovery with a stupid confusing naming scheme... now it seems like they've learned nothing from that?

They either forgot they are in fact the evil overlord or they never read the list.

99% of designers and ux people at MS aren't using Windows as their daily driver or using Microsoft tools.

Wait what, you don't know that you should purchase the brand new Xbox Series XA, and not the Xbox One 720 S ...?

But seriously, I do think it's still one of the most hilariously stupid product names EVER in the history of products, to name the third thing in a series "xbox one". They'll have that idiocy forever bahahahahahah!!!!

Seriously, I have an xbox one and couldn't tell you which model it is, even after looking at pictures of them. I know there is a newer better model out now that looks similar and has a similar name. If I wanted to spend the $600 or whatever to upgrade tomorrow, I wouldn't know which one to buy.
