I’ve heard the reason for the name of XBox 360’s successor was that some marketing geniuses heard that most people called it “the three-sixty” for short, and thought “Great! Let’s call this the XBox One, and it will be referred to as The One! Like Neo!!”
And then, everyone collectively agreed on “XBone” 🦴
And under no circumstances confuse any other Microsoft products with each other, except under confusing circumstances.
Why the fuck they wouldnt brand with this strategy is beyond me. I came up with this like 16 years ago and stand by it.
Xbox
Xbox 360
Xbox 720
Xbox 900

So the Xbox 720 is twice as good as the one before it, but the 900 only gives you a 25% increase? Who’d buy that garbage?
