Possibly the worst named console. Ever.
I think that'll forever be taken by the Wii and Wii U lol
No, this is definitely worse. As I said over on Atariage: You've got the Xbox One, which isn't the first Xbox, comes in S & X, but not Series X, that's a different Xbox than the Xbox One, which is a different Xbox than the first Xbox... no wonder the 360 sold the best, it's the only one where everybody knows which one you mean!
I imagine people will just call this one the 'Series X'... not sure if encouraging the market to ignore your brand game is good, but it seems to work fine for other consoles- the hard part is gonna be not confusing customers at the buying stage. I saw a poor mom trying to buy an Xbox over Black Friday- no idea what variant she should be getting. At least she knew the hard drive size she wanted, so I'm sure they got her sorted. Unlike the other mom sent to get Switch exclusives for PlayStation.
I imagine they'll be at least a few lil' Billys who ask for Xbox & get PlayStation next Christmas becuase their parents can at least parse the naming rhetoric.
Neutral on the shape- basically I just want dimensions so I can figure out where the heck I can squeeze it into my bloated entertainment center.
However, none of that is the important part, which is: Hellblade 2 looks cool & is a major point in Xbox's favor for early adoption on my part.
