Nintendo on aina antanut konsoleilleen ihan omanlaisensa nimen, kun taas Sony luottaa järjestysnumeroihin. Microsoft puolestaan on valinnut nimetä konsolinsa tavalla, joka aiheuttaa sekaannuksia: Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox One X, Xbox Series X.
Ruotsalainen pelinkehittäjä Josef Fares (Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, It Takes Two) on kertonut IGN:lle inhoavansa nimeä Xbox Series X (ja S).
"That's a fucking confusing name. What the fuck's going on with Microsoft? They're losing it, man. What the fuck is going on? Like Series S, X, Mex, Next. I mean, who knows this? Come on. Madness. Call it the Microsoft Box and that's it. I don't know. It's a total fucking mess. Trust me, even them, they're confused in their offices. What is this X, S... I don't know, what the fuck."
