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 made a full revolution, not just a slight turn.
And “Revolution” was Nintendo’s codename for the Wii at the time.
These people are beyond stupid. Every single one of them needs to be fired.
They thought people would be confused by the Xbox 2 going up against the PlayStation 3 so they deliberately adotped even more confusing names.
