It's incredible how bad the marketing of the current Xbox gen is. I remember one day realizing that I had no idea what Xbox is doing now and I had to look up what the current consoles are, and then it took awhile for me to memorize them and know which is which. The sad part is I want a Series X more than a PS5, but I sure as hell wouldn't pay the increased prices for it.

I think what they're going for is the luxury car angle. Like how Mercedes-Benz has their C Class, E Class, G Class, S Class, or BMW has its 1 Series, 2 Series, 3 Series, etc.

It's not a bad idea to try to mimic luxury marketing. PS3 sort did the same thing with the piano black finish and the strings on the home screen. But Xbox, as always, took this in the direction of naming their stuff in the worst way possible.
