I'm not sure which generation it was at but the last time I considered buying an Xbox console I gave up because figuring out which one was the good one was too much of a hassle.

    Please sir, I'd like to purchase the Sexbox One.

    No, wait, I mean... the ExBox Series S.. X?

    Series Box X ...

    head implodes

    My personal 'why the fuck did they name it this' thing is...

    The Windows Subsystem for Linux.

    No. Nope.

    It is a Linux subsystem, within Windows, so it should be 'the Linux Subsystem for Windows'.

    Its like they actively despise English grammar.

    It doesn't help that they're all called variations on Xbox X Series 1 X Plus PC AI Co-pilot. There should be some sort of award given to companies who are committed to terrible names over generations of the product.

    Say what you want about Sony but at least they understand how the name things, PS1 PS2 PS3 PS4 PS5 What's the next one? PS6

    Sony is godawful at naming anything that isn't a PlayStation. Look at their headphones or phones. I used to use the Sony Xperia 5 III. Which was the midrange model. The top shelf one was the Xperia 1 III.

    Sony also had the idea to write PSX as a short name because they intended to make three generations. When they released the ps2 they wrote PSY like five times, realized it sounded stupid and dropped the whole idea.
