HOLY SHIT

this is will actually happen >>379933728

CONSUMERS ARE DUMB YOU HAVE TO DUMB THAT SHIT DOWN

should've stuck with Scorpio having a name that is completely different minimizes chances of that happening.

They will literally be underselling themselves because moms will either
a. think little billy asked for ONE S not hearing the "X"
b. think there the same thing because they sound so similar can't be a big difference

fucking retarded tier marketing

OP is joking yet this will probably happen for real, quite a few times even.

>>379934895
This was their chance to right the wrong they did with the original name.

Should've called it Xbox Infinity or Xbox Loop or Xbox 720 or something else.

It's literally going to be a Wii-WiiU situation all over again

>>379932840
Oh god, as a gamestop employee, I cringed HARD.

WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY THEY WOULD FOLLOW IN NINTENDO'S FAILED FOOTSTEPS HERE?

>>379936024
you would have to be insinuating that they were paying attention to anything nintendo or sony do.

There is ONE saving grace here, and that is the fact that the S has almost completely replaced the original XBone on store shelves, so colloquially it's just the "Xbox" and the "Xbox X"

>>379932840

>>379935859
An idiots

It's very fucking clear that the actual marketing teams at Xbox are still in place. Liberal arts majors who side major'd into legal and advertising and shit because they needed work.

Playstation has avoided all this bullshit you don't need. Why make the name of your device a problem for the device itself?

>Playstation
>Playstation 2
>Playstation Portable
>Playstation 3
>Playstation 4

>Playstation Vita
The one time they fucked up with a normal name and looked what happened. Almost as if to prove it to themselves.

>Playstation 4 Pro
Clear on what it is. Apple style naming convention.

>Playstation Portable 2
>Playstation 5
>Playstation 6/Quantm
Very easy and makes a nice clear cross section of generations people can follow.

Nintendo were doing it right too, until they fucked it up with WiiU

>NES
>SNES
>N64
>GC
>Wii
>WiiU
>SWITCH

Either take Nintendo's approach or Sony's approach. Xbox seem to have taken on a hybrid of NAME: WEIRD SUFFIX that for no reason hampers them. Numbered sequels do the best.

>>379932840
I have a better question

They all play the same games, and the visual differences will be minimal at best, so will it even matter?

Xbox One X gives off real Wii U naming vibes.

>>379937383
>ONE S to ONE X

>mfw thinking about it

Goddamn. It's true. It's the Wii vs Wii U thing but even more ironic.

If you say it too fast they're nearly identical and the S is cheaper so parents who don't give a fuck (all of them) won't pay attention.

>>379937529
He's right though, This isn't a next gen xbox, it's the same fucking gen with an upgraded gpu.
The price difference is larger than the performance.

>>379937529
>muh enhanced blur and bloom effects in upscaled 4k 30fps
if you're going the route of console gaming you might as well get the cheap s

>>379937529
But he's right. It's the same games but in 4k

As someone who actually games at both 4k and/or 120fps for like, 5 years now it really isn't that big of a deal, it's just nice to have.

If you gave me a game that was DVD teir resolution, but was fully raytraced and looked like real life 1:1 exactly with insane levels of polygon detail, physics and animation, It would look better than the 4k videogamey ass videogame looking game to me.

Xbox One S and X are the same system, one does the same games but sharper. To mom's this isn't going to be something they deem their child being worthy of. I know I fucking wouldn't buy a 4k xbox for my kid, he's getting the most average model I can get because all it takes is one slice of pizza jammed into the fucking thing and it's over

This and the name confusion will be the big reason parents won't buy it. 500 bucks is not cheap money for the average consumer. Plus the fact there are almost no exclusives. Why should I lay down 500 bucks for a system with no exclusives when I can pay cheaper and get one that has a lot of well known must buy exclusives.

>>379939573

This is basically what fucked the wii u, smart move Microsoft

>>379939210
There allready is one though, they launched it with the controller.

It was literally just an OG Xbox One but with a 1TB hard drive.

Really dumb fucking move. They should've saved that controller and that name for Scorpio instead. Pack in that elite controller and the 499 wouldn't have been SO bad.

>>379935451
>not just leave it Scorpio
>instead propose Xbox Infinity or Loop or 720

I feel so sorry for the anons that work retail in electronic departments/gamestop that will have to deal with this shit and explain what the differences are.

Xbox One X was a bad name and will be confusing to consumers, especially when they look identical and one is $250 less.

It's like a PS4 Pro+ at best. A little bit better. It's not going to deliver much better.

If Sony can drop the PS4 Pro's price by 100 bucks then it's a far better deal overall.

>>379944683
>Playstation Vita
>it's launches as a dead system

>>379941397
Those were not a legitimate concern to anyone considering buying the console, they're an issue for people who already have the console. Really though the issue is that the only people who still play on handhelds rather than their phones are not the people who play the games that move Sony consoles in most of the world. Why get a 250 dollar device to play FIFA when your phone can already play one of a million ripoffs for free?

>>379944683

All the other companies are scared. If you come out with an Xbox 2 when a Playstation 3 exists they think that makes customers think it's not as good.

They treat their customers like they treat capeshit fans as far back as forever.

Even back then I was waiting for Xbox 2. They just don't understand their audiences. So they fuck themselves forever.

It's 1.5 times the performance at 1.25 times the price, it's a better deal.

And if a hundred bucks makes that big of a difference you're probably not that into things like 4K and performance anyway.

I'd be glad if it forced Sony to a price cut though, might actually get one and finally play Bloodborne if that happens.

Sony has the naming down pretty well. PS2,3,4 no confusion between them. Even PS4 Pro is pretty self explanatory

the only justificiation for this i can think of is that if it was named too differently, clueless parents would think that it was a new gen (despite not knowing what gens are) and that it wouldn't be able to play the games they already bought, so they'd say "fuck off jimmy i'm not buying a whole new console that can't even play your old games" even though they could dispel their notions by doing a simple 5 second google search but the average consumer is too fucking retarded for that

>>379955237
I don't disagree with you, but there's still and always will be a lot of people who won't bother with gaming PCs. Getting access to 95+% of worthwhile games, with near-PC level performance, for half the price, is not a bad deal.
