At least 2000 is both the largest number, and the best OS, in that group. :)

Totally agree with you, but I would say that the original name made some sense. It used directx and the code name was directx box which became Xbox. Ideally edgy for the market at the time too, I think.

Despite being an avid gamer, I'm not even sure what the release order was after xbone. Being a grandparent or parent and doing it? Fuck that.

Don't forget the xbox one s and xbox one x, which were after the xbox one (the third xbox, not the first xbox), but before the xbox series s and xbox series x.

Microsoft Bob.

Yeah but the equivalent in the xbox series would be naming some of the games xbox too.

It's probably a new manager for each iteration and they need to leave their mark by choosing a different name.

With windows there aren't so many (consumer) versions on the market at one given time.

However, the Xbox stuff is so messy that me as a gamer has no idea nor interest which is the latest or more powerful (see PS 'pro').
