Microsoft needs to stop letting marketing decide product names. Just look at Xbox: Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S.


The "Xbox Series X" is such a nonsensical name that only a marketing department could come with it. And this entire line of names exists solely because someone thought that nobody would buy a "Xbox 2" instead of a "PlayStation 3".


Because X's mean moar marketing power... Like the Extreme X870E X motherboard... There's multiple X's and Extremes and the X's mean extreme... so it's moar extreme!!!
