This is the most idiotic rename ever. Are they high in Microslop?

Their most idiotic name ever was whatever the Xbox branding bullshit was. It was so bad, customers didn't know which one to buy.

I thought it was pretty stupid calling the third one "Xbox One" but then going from "Xbox One X/S" to "Xbox Series X/S" was much more idiotic. Nobody would ever think that's a new generation of consoles. It sounds like a rebrand. I genuinely struggle to understand how a decision like this is made.
