Can't fucking believe they didn't just do this, starting with the previous gen:

Xbox S1 and Xbox X1. Then current gen would be Xbox S2 and Xbox X2, and so on forever. Mid cycle refreshes can be S2.5 or X2.5. refer to the generation as generation 2 or generation 3.

. Or if they were really assed about Sony having higher numbers (ive seen this theory floated) then start with S5 and X5, fine whatever.

The current naming convention literally looks like the result of a bet between marketing departments at Nintendo and Microsoft of "hey I bet I can get the CEO to sign off on the stupidest fucking naming scheme"
