    As someone who doesn’t own an Xbox I have no idea what the difference is and that’s a huge knock on their marketing and product teams.

      X is the flagship console, while S is the lower cost version. They’re both current gen.

            That’s hilarious. I’ll never understand why they named these consoles in such a way

              It becomes even more confusing when you think about the fact that the Xbox One is not the Xbox 1, which was just the Xbox. And that the Xbox One X, the souped up version of the Xbox One, can be abbreviated as the XBOX, which again, is not the original Xbox.

                Don’t forget they skipped 359 console gens on their second try.

              They thought people would be confused by the Xbox 2 going up against the PlayStation 3 so they deliberately adotped even more confusing names.

      Not really. If you were going to buy an xbox, you would either just buy the cheaper version, the more expensive version assuming its just better, or look up the difference.

          Consumers who were already going to buy an xbox will figure it out, the rest will just buy the cheap one
