When searching commands now Windows garbage comes up
So it's more to poison search results to stifle Linux adoption
That's probably why they named the Xbox One the Xbox One all those years ago. Whenever people googled how to mod an Xbox One to play pirated games, they would keep finding original Xbox crap instead since everyone up until that point called it "Xbox 1".
In typical Microsoft nonsensical naming schemes, they had nowhere to go after Xbox 360.
I gave up on paying attention to Xboxes when they started calling them such stupid fucking shit like "Xbox x series sx". Now you have to be really familiar with Xbox lore to even figure out what the latest current one is.
I pre-emptively stopped when I switched to PC gaming in like 1996 lol
They didnโt want to say xbox 2 because it was less than PS3
But Nintendo had no problems with jumping to 64
This is the real reason, they were afraid consumers would think "3 is bigger than 2 so the Sony one must be better".
I think Nintendo gets a pass because they never used numbers anyway: NES -> SNES -> 64 -> gamecube -> wii -> switch. The 64 of course was about the hardware technology and not the generation or anything.
