Good thing? Xbox's whole naming scheme is just shuffling in place for a while with the ‘360’ and ‘One’ before devolving into incomprehensible ‘series whatever’. Microsoft are comically bad at naming.

P.S. They had actually decent naming going on with 'Forza Motorsport' 1-7, and then decided to reset back to no number in 2023 for no good reason. It's like they're outright trying to be ridiculous.

The Xbox naming always reminds me of the "New Nintendo 3ds" which was different from the "Nintendo 3ds". People probably got paid a lot of money to come up with the stupidest names.

‘New 3DS’ wasn't really that egregious, since it was a revision of 3DS. What was worse is that DS, 3DS, and 2DS were released in that order.
