Because they’re making Xbox Series games

(I was seriously thinking the new console was called “xbox one series S”)

    (They released two consoles this gen, the One Series S and One Series X, a low end and a high end one respectively. Together they’re called the Xbox One Series)

      This is… incorrect. Among the previous generation the consoles were:

      • Xbox One (eventually renamed to…)
      • Xbox One S
      • Xbox One X

      The consoles in the current gen are:

      • Xbox Series S
      • Xbox Series X

      Neither the word “one” nor the word “series” overlapped between the two generations.

        I strongly believe that the One X should have been renamed to make it easier to drop support of the One S.

          But that never really came to fruition. Unless you mean that they should still be supporting the One X further into this generation.

            I think that the One S should be dropped first, followed by the One X, but that the One X shouldn’t be anchored to the 2013 console.

            So yeah, the One S should be dropped and the One X should be supported further, then be the next to drop say 2 years after. As it exists, it appears that the One X is anchored to the One S.

              The problem is that the One X has a very weak CPU. To keep supporting it there would have to be significant compromises in terms of world complexity etc.
