Did a few lines before the interview
New Nintendo 3DS XLHe may be juvenile but he’s still right. Worse name than Wii. And The New iPad. Can’t think of a worse name to be honest.
Why would anyone take advice from or even quote this person?(Director of Brothers & A Way Out)
Why not? Anyone can say what they think.Why would anyone take advice from or even quote this person?
Even if it was that fear, they still could have chosen a 1000 better names that don't revolve around or even sound like they're always pushing the restart button.Why they didn’t just call it XBox 5 will forever amaze me. This whole nonsense started from being afraid of XBox 2 vs PlayStation 3, but the Series S has now rectified that.
Before ignore: Have someone teach you what nuance is.Why not? Anyone can say what they think.
Wii U, absolutely. Wii was brilliant for the time though, even if it sounds like a pisstake in the UK.Almost as bad as Nintendo with its Wii and Wii U.
What a clusterfuck.
I do agree with what you said. I don’t like the prick but every site does the same tooImagine being a living meme mostly known for public use of profanity getting triggered by a console's name.
Even funnier, imagine actually finding this newsworthy enough to make an article about it. I guess it's an early weekend at Metro.
I will never understand how those names got approved.
It's not confusing to you or me because we are gamers and we know our hardware. But to new consumers, from a semantics standpoint is going to be confusing compared to PS4, PS4Pro & PS5.Series X and Series S....doesn't exactly sound complicated. It's not like they are priced the same.
From what I remember, the successor to the 360 was supposed to be named Xbox Infinity with an "8" infinity symbol that looked like an "X". This was also supposed to be part of Microsoft's plan to create one holistic experience across all devices for Windows, specifically Windows 8.Why they didn’t just call it XBox 5 will forever amaze me. This whole nonsense started from being afraid of XBox 2 vs PlayStation 3, but the Series S has now rectified that.
Before ignore? Rofl. For asking a harmless question? Please put me on ignore. I'd rather not deal with people like you. You do me a huge favor.Before ignore: Have someone teach you what nuance is.
I don't have a twitter accountDidn't the official Xbox Twitter account accidentally call it the "Xbox Series One X" once?
He doesn't sound like an "angry fanboy". That's just you people being WAY TOO sensitive to any criticism.It's trash but he could have phrased in a way that didn't make him look like an angry fanboy.
Keep in mind this is the same guy.
I get the confusion and rightfully so, but let's not forget the name Wii U. Nintendo had to create commercials to actually clear up its confusing name. I enjoyed the Wii U so don't hate me
You definitely should work in MS marketing departmentI think these names we have now - Xbox Series X|S are here to stay. The next models will still be called Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. They will play all the same games that the current ones do with the enhancements for each family. Apple don't called their iPads 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc. it's just "iPad". And that is what Xbox now is.
