“Windows 10” I don’t really mind. Skipping version numbers is mostly harmless. Repeating them is not.

It's actually Windows 2. It's binary.

I've suspected all along that the thinking went something like this: "We made the Xbox 360 and people called it the 360. If we name our next console Xbox One they'll call it The One." Shortly thereafter it became permanently dubbed Xbone and the marketing weenies hopefully cried under their desks.

I think the marketing push was for it to be "The One" since it's supposed to be like an all-on-one solution. If I remember right they spent a bunch of the E3 reveal talking about all the media features that basically noone cared about. That along with stuff about DRM and locking out used games or whatever it was, they pretty much handed that E3 to playstation. I also remember there being some brand awareness crap or something directed at media outlets or the such about the correct naming (basically to not shorten it to Xbone) kind of how like Adobe told everyone to stop saying "photoshopping."

No more Xbox talk until we figure this out. Is this from a business consultant's slide share?

Okay. "Buy what you need and don't have. Sell what you have and don't need." Thank you. Y'all can return to Xbox chat now.

The sad thing about the Xbone was they had a cool idea about you basically having an xbox steam library where you could sell your digital games back for store credit which would be dope. They just botched the pitch.

They just botched the pitch. It’s just bits. It costs them nothing to leave then on your disk. They would have raised the purchase price by the same amount as the re‐sell credit. It’s a zero‐sum game for consumers. e: This continues to not be the obsolete tech thread. Y’all are depleting my strategic graphic reserve.

I bet the marketing team were high-fiving themselves at the creativity of calling it 'BF1': restarting the timeline, matching the new console name, new generation, etc. And at no point did anyone pipe up and say 'Umm. You know we already have a BF2 and the war after WWI was called WWII? What are we going to call the next edition of this game if it successful?'
