Microsoft clarifies the naming scheme behind the next-gen Xbox

1IIi95f.png

During this year's Game Awards, Microsoft stole most of the spotlight by revealing the name of their next-generation gaming console. Or so we thought. Originally revealed as the Xbox Series X, the latest system in the line of Microsoft's consoles, the name garnered confusion and ridicule. Now, Microsoft has decided to clarify what exactly the new moniker means, amidst the outcry. The fourth-generation Xbox console, final form of the Project Scarlett, and successor to the Xbox One will actually just be called Xbox. The Series X part of the name is just a branding subtitle, to "allow room for additional consoles in the future", according to the company. So, theoretically, rather than the current naming scheme, which sees Microsoft selling the Xbox One, Xbox One S, and Xbox One X, the "Series X" name will help consumers choose between different models of the new Xbox, such as the highly-rumored discless streaming-only Xbox.

The name we're carrying forward to the next generation is simply Xbox," a Microsoft representative told Business Insider. "And at The Game Awards you saw that name come to life through the Xbox Series X.

"Similar to what fans have seen with previous generations, the name 'Xbox Series X' allows room for additional consoles in the future," the Microsoft rep told us.

Cmon Pip giv us a good reason why it's better - the wii u name is pretty good sounds powerful enough and actually ment something we and you - as soon as xbox said xbox one straight away everyone thought it was crap and nobody really knows what the next xbox is gonna be really called or how it's gonna say on the box thts how crap it is :lol:
Well, at least it stands out somehow - WiiU is such a confusing name that a lot of people thought it's a Wii accessory or something x)

I feel bad for the elderly grandparents and out of touch with technology parents that will be trying to buy an Xbox for their kids.

That is where you'd be wrong Racist! In the land of the rising Sun we mainly play Sony and Nintendo Consoles as they are developed in the Country where REAL technology came from, and not your primitive 4g and internet connections, I still that laugh you're still in the stone age unlike in japan where the real advancements in technology are, It shows how superior Japan really is over the countries overseas and they way you project yourself further proves my point that you are still stuck in a more "primitive" age where racism is common, glad I left that back water country if people like you are there.

You silly person thts not racist you guys eat noodles so thts why I said it so get a sense of humour which you obviously ain't got- go and read what racist means - and yr one who started slagging off the uk and you obviously kno nothing about video games as the uk has provided the most talented game designers in the world since the 80s with spectrum amstrad and commodore teams wher games were so unique at the time and made them what they are today

Sorry I cannot comprehend what your saying care to translate your dialect into something a little more intellectual instead of British?

[translation to something more readable] You're clearly mistaken Miss I believe what I said was not racist but stereotypical, Which now I realize was insensitive to your feelings as somebody not of my nationality, which I should of known better so I will learn the correct edicate when addressing a lady, and this new written text is my apology for being so insensitive of a culture I do not have much understanding of.

What would you do if you win this conversation? Print it and hung it on your room.

Just let it go.

I'm very prideful and don't back down from ingrates that insult me and my culture by stereotyping in the form of humour which is not funny but incredibly insensitive and in most cases racist. And I do not stand for things like that.

Why would you ruin your day for something like this hehe.

We all say things about other races/country/color in there minds and at home, no one is perfect.

Did his/her sentences changed Japan ? No, so let it go.

in the mind yes that's fine but in the public eye of the internet comments like that maybe funny to the one saying them but is seen as extremely insensitive to the person/people they are targeting, and being brought up from a child not to back down I see no need to do so now.

The internet is a tool to know what is in the people mind and what they are saying behind your back so act like you didn't hear it.

would you mind not speaking in what british call slang and abbreviated words and using obscene words like that?
and only nice thing I had about my study stay in the united kingdom was my roommate.
Personally I feel Britain is a a bit pathetic or what the British would call a "dump"
