    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.

      I didn’t consider direct x to Xbox connection but it makes sense… After the initial release it’s insane. You want to be next generations idea of gaming, make it understandable to a non-gamer cause they are likely buying it. Hell Nintendo entertainment system vs super Nintendo entertainment system… Which is better? Which will make your granddaughter or grandson happy?
