Why would this even matter when the new Xboxes are the only ones you can buy at retail stores now & it really shouldn't be that hard to tell the difference between the word Series & "One"

Based on the guy's reddit comments she bought an Xbox One S from Facebook and bought the game from Amazon. He deleted the post because he was getting roasted but his comments are still on his profile.
He mentions that he didn't know Xbox One had S and X models, but he also says he thoroughly explained it to his wife.

Yeah, finally on GAF:a straight person and confusing scheme in the same sentence. That alone redeemed 2024!

The box of the game tells you which system you need.
if you're too dumb to do basic pattern matching then you might have issues with that.
"this game is for Xbox Series X|S"
"we have an Xbox One"
if this is confusing to someone, I think you got bigger issues than mixing up consoles

How was she a victim here? She bought a series for the game after her husband told her what they needed.
Its not like you can buy a new one s anyway
I mean, at least once a week i have to explain this to customers at work but, again, this shit isnt new, why is this a thread?

This.
"Shortly thereafter she finds one for sale locally, and buys it, and buys the game on Amazon new."
What "one" did she find for sale locally? The guy is trying to call out Xbox for their shit naming conventions (and he's right), and then maybe troll his wife a little, but he fails to adequately communicate the most important part of the story.

Don't buy an Xbox. Problem solved.

That's been my strategy. The only time I've had an X-Box in my house was when I borrowed an X-Box 1 (not to be confused with X-Box One) from my friend to play Ninja Gaiden and KotR. He he got it $50 with a bunch of games at a yard sale.

I think that's a pretty awful naming scheme for the average consumer,lol.Hardcore gamers obviously know their shit.
