Xbox One?
Xbox One X?
Xbox One... series X? Is that a thing?
Xbox Series... S?

I honestly can't follow these consoles... And I thought Wii U was bad, sheesh.

The second to last one you mentioned is just called Xbox Series X. Thats the new one thats coming out and supposed to be the most powerful version. The Series S is the one without the disc drive and with the crappier hardware. I agree that their names suck. You also forgot the Xbox One S lol

they started these weird names cause they didn't want to look weaker than the playstation. the 360 should have just been Xbox 2. but then it would be Xbox 2 vs Playstation 3 in stores and they thought people would buy the ps3 in favor of the xbox 2 just cause it had a higher number. I don't know how true that is, but that's the origin supposedly of why all the xboxes after the original have weird names

The thing is if they're willing to call their third system the Xbox One just go ahead and get in step with Sony and call it Xbox5. That's certainly less confusing than Xbox Random Alphabet Letter.

Xbox One - it was supposed to be One device that did everything - gaming, media, cable, etc.

One S - Slimmed down One
One X - Idk where the X came from actually.

Series S and X - the new Xbox generation is actually technically just called "Xbox" and there's two series within the Xbox umbrella - Series S and Series X, the successors to One S and One X.
