As someone who doesn’t own an Xbox I have no idea what the difference is and that’s a huge knock on their marketing and product teams.

X is the flagship console, while S is the lower cost version. They’re both current gen.

Oh I thought the S was the refreshed last gen Xbox One?

No, that's the Xbox One S. This is the Xbox Series S.

That's hilarious. I'll never understand why they named these consoles in such a way

It becomes even more confusing when you think about the fact that the Xbox One is not the Xbox 1, which was just the Xbox. And that the Xbox One X, the souped up version of the Xbox One, can be abbreviated as the XBOX, which again, is not the original Xbox.

Don't forget they skipped 359 console gens on their second try.

They made a full revolution, not just a slight turn.

These people are beyond stupid. Every single one of them needs to be fired.

They thought people would be confused by the Xbox 2 going up against the PlayStation 3 so they deliberately adotped even more confusing names.

Not really. If you were going to buy an xbox, you would either just buy the cheaper version, the more expensive version assuming its just better, or look up the difference.

Ehhh consumers will figure it out

lol

Consumers who were already going to buy an xbox will figure it out, the rest will just buy the cheap one

look up the difference

Sounds like too much effort
