The big micro$oft fuckup for people like me was naming their new xbox the xbox one. Ever since then I have not been able to keep the different models apart and will be staying far far far away from that whole line of products

Xbox One was insanely stupid but Xbox Series X is somehow even stupider. I picked one up last year and in talking about it, there has never been an occasion where I mention the Xbox Series X and don't then have to explain which one is the Xbox Series X and clarify that it is in fact the current-gen console.

It's funny because consoles practically do require an internet connection now, but the way they implemented it and the fact that it was actually a hard requirement was never going to play well.

And you know, getting absolutely dunked on by Sony for it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWSIFh8ICaA Nintendo had the right of it, big long Directs that you have total media control over are the way to go. Foot in mouth disease is synonymous with E3 for hilarities sake, but it's brand poison.

Nintendo names their consoles whatever. Nintendo [Name] is just how it works. Random and fun. Nan's worldwide always a fan of playing games on The Nintendo. Sony do numerical updates. Like eventually we'll be on a Playstation 10, great. There were 9 consoles before it. Bland, but it works. Microsoft names consoles like a drunken loving uncle at a wedding Here you go, I shuffled the names. Super easy to decipher for non fans Xbox One Xbox Xbox One S Xbox Series X Xbox 360 Xbox One X Xbox Series S

the xbox stuff is particularly nonsense because, most of the new games still run on the old xbox one. so I'm always forgetting that my xbox one series s (which I also feel that I must clarify, I did not pay for) is more powerful than the xbox one that I slid under my bed and am always stubbing my toe on (again didn't pay for it)

The Wii U wouldn't even have been that bad if not for that ultra-confusing announcement trailer where they heavily implied that it was a new controller and didn't a single time mention that it's actually a console.

even like, ps+ and game pass stuff, will cache your license to play them so you only need to connect to the internet when your billing period is over once a month or whatever for it to update the license

Jay Rust posted:idk the whole Nintendo DS line also has xbox series xs stink, to me Actually yeah that's fair. It semi makes sense, DS -> 3DS -> New 3DS -> New 3DS XL, but if you asked some random Ma&Pa shopper about it they'd probably be confused. The S and X versions of Xboxes are meant to act like suffixes akin to race cars from a branding perspective, but I don't know why Xbox One Lite or Xbox One Pro couldn't have worked? ~Brands~ I said come in! posted:The Wii U is where Nintendo really dropped the ball.

the PS4 Pro was kinda half-baked but the One X was actually a good update, the normal xbone really needed a refresh that thing had the wrong RAM etc.

The "official company line" is that they dont care where you play their games as long as you buy them so they dont care if you never buy an xbox if you buy the games on PC. I think they sell xboxes at a loss so maybe they prefer if you buy on PC? who knows

I have two thoughts on the console naming thing. First: I really would've thought Xbox might've at least tried to learn from Nintendo's naming fuckup with the Wii U, but here we are. Second: I wonder if this all started because of an ill-advised attempt to not be seen as "inferior" to the PlayStation brand. When the Xbox 360 was coming out, Sony was launching the PlayStation 3. Did Microsoft not want to be releasing the Xbox Two alongside the PlayStation Three? Like did they think that would make them appear to be a generation behind? And clearly this didn't hurt the 360, of course, that console did great, but it sort of set them on a path to having to have "different" names every time.
