If you had asked me before I looked it up, I probably would've placed the original Xbox at 20 years old. Time is flying by.

    it's an xbox 360 S which is different to a xbox one s, not to be confused with the xbox series s.

    Also don’t confuse it with the Xbox 360 E.

    And under no circumstances confuse any other Microsoft products with each other, except under confusing circumstances.

    Why the fuck they wouldnt brand with this strategy is beyond me. I came up with this like 16 years ago and stand by it.

    Xbox

    Xbox 360

    Xbox 720

    Xbox 900

    I've heard the reason for the name of XBox 360's successor was that some marketing geniuses heard that most people called it "the three-sixty" for short, and thought "Great! Let's call this the XBox One, and it will be referred to as The One! Like Neo!!"

    And then, everyone collectively agreed on "XBone" 🦴

    So the Xbox 720 is twice as good as the one before it, but the 900 only gives you a 25% increase? Who'd buy that garbage?

    True. Maybe it should go 2600, 5200, 7800...
