lol, that stupid X name for Twitter. Imagine being named Æ A-12 Musk . Poor kid, at least he's (she?) stinking rich.That's because Microsoft culture is clearly ruled by American business school by-the-numbers sensibilities. At some point in the past decade there must have been oodles of research from nerds showing that putting "One" or "1" in your brand was the way to juice sales. I remember those several generations where every goddamn Android phone was trying to wedge that into their flagships' names. In more recent years it's been "X". Gotta get that goddamn X in there. X,X,X...wait, um, Mr. Musk, sir...
Sony and Apple are trying to show the world how you do it. Stop being a bunch of tryhard shitters. Just label it what it is. Apple only succumbed that one generation with the "iPhone X", and everyone hated it. They listened. Back to numbering. PS2, PS3, PS4, PS5...it's almost like it makes goddamn sense.
I thought the justification for not calling the 360 the Xbox 2 was because it would appear weak compared to the PS3, or something stupid like that. Look at the mess that's lead to.
I wonder if Nintendo will call the Switch 2 something completely different and idiotic like Nintendo rectangle/gametangle.
