That's a f**king confusing name. What the f**k's going on with Microsoft? They're losing it, man. What the f**k 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 f**king mess. Trust me, even them, they're confused in their offices. What is this X, S… I don't know, what the

Never one to hide his feelings, director Josef Fares calls Microsoft’s decision to name its new console the Xbox Series X a total mess.

Did a few lines before the interview

 

[Abriael_GN]

Imagine being a living meme mostly known for public use of profanity getting triggered by a console's name.

Even funnier, imagine actually finding this newsworthy enough to make an article about it. I guess it's an early weekend at Metro.

Tommy Wiseau: Crack Edition™

Still interested to see the game tho.

 

[kretos]

that guy is crazy

 

[Starfield]

Marco Inaros sure has come a long way

 

[TVexperto]

I will never understand how those names got approved.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

Mex? Is that how it's known south of the border? What if it originated in Mexico, would the US folks call it the Xbox Series Tex Mex?

 

[Banjo64]

This guy looks and sounds like a bell end.

Not sure what's difficult about the naming convention, I barely even see the One S or One X referenced any more.

 

[AJUMP23]

He has a lot of concern for the moms and dads out there buying consoles.

 

[Calverz]

Lol guy cracks me up

 

[GHG]

Absurd.

Must be a SonyGAF fanboy to have this opinion.

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

We've known the name for months and now this dude complaining. This is pretty cringe.

 

[Blue Spring]

They should simply ditch the Xbox name. Its fucking shit and you cant make anything sound nice with it.

 

[MrS]

He's right you know

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

He's right you know

He's not wrong he's just an asshole

 

[kikii]

We've known the name for months and now this dude complaining. This is pretty cringe.

not really, Xbox Series XS also coming ..

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

This is a non issue.

The Series X name is a mild nuisance at most and has no effect on sales.

 

[DJTHEGREY]

I agree it's not the greatest name.... But it's not confusing.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

Dude needs to take it easy or else he is going to lose his nose ....

 

[evanft]

He's not wrong.

 

[JORMBO]

Series X and Series S....doesn't exactly sound complicated. It's not like they are priced the same.

 

[spawn]

It's not that complicated. Guy is just trying to get some attention

 

[chilleverest]

He is not wrong though.

Try explaining that to parents trying to buy games/consoles for their kids.

 

[Virt McPolygon]

This guy usually annoys me, but I feel him on this. Took me months to figure out the naming convention.

 

[Orta]

Guy is clearly a mong.

 

[GymWolf]

All this mess exist because microsoft didn't called the x360 just xbox 2 back in the days.

 

[dalekjay]

This guy was almost drunk on a EA presentation?

 

[Nikana]

His next game looks cool.

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

This guy usually annoys me, but I feel him on this. Took me months to figure out the naming convention.

Xbox Series S = Xbox Series Shittier version
Xbox Series X= Xbox Series XTREME (best) version

Xbox One X Sales Skyrocket As Preorders For Xbox Series X Go Live

Xbox One X sales randomly skyrocketed today. Coincidentally, it's the same day Xbox Series X preorders went live.

When I was younger my mom just called everything "the Nintendo". I don't think there's any helping some parents.

How can one man be so based?

Bots can make mistakes too

 

[MrS]

He's not wrong he's just an asshole

He's a bit full of himself, no question. Gotta respect a straight talker though, and Josef certainly is that.

 

[lingpanda]

I get the confusion and rightfully so, but let's not forget the name Wii U. Nintendo had to create commercials to actually clear up its confusing name. I enjoyed the Wii U so don't hate me

 

[Fess]

He may be juvenile but he's still right. Worse name than Wii. And The New iPad. Can't think of a worse name to be honest.

 

[Hugare]

Josef is a little extra, but he is right

"I dont get the confusion". Of course not, nerd. You are posting on a gaming forum.

Of those more than 100M console players, how many of them have any knowledge about gaming?

They know that the Series X is better than the Series S due to the price difference, or because the dude at Gamestop told them so.

Marketing wise, its a mess. But that's Microsoft for you.

Going from Xbox to XBox 36o was already "lol what?". Then going from 360 to One. And now this.

So next gen, how is it gonna be? Xbox 2 Series X and S?

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

edit: completely wrong thread

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Almost as bad as Nintendo with its Wii and Wii U.
What a clusterfuck.

 

[Bartski]

he must be really fun to work with

 

[Alebrije]

Bet he got and Xbone one X instead of a Xbox Series X on Christmast.

Going from Xbox to XBox 36o was already "lol what?". Then going from 360 to One. And now this.

So next gen, how is it gonna be? Xbox 2 Series X and S?

From here on it'll be:
Xbox Series 2
Xbox Series 3
Xbox Series 4
And so on, like Apple Watch.

Or maybe Xbox 7
Xbox(1), Xbox 360(2), Xbox One(3), Xbox One X(4), Xbox Series S(5), Xbox Series X(6), Xbox 7 (7)

Should've called this one:
Xbox 10
Because of Windows 10

 

[Abriael_GN]

That says more about you than about the naming convention.

 

[Hudo]

Dude is not wrong but the way he voiced it makes him sound like an idiot.

 

[mortal]

Almost as bad as Nintendo with its Wii and Wii U.
What a clusterfuck.

Weird naming conventions for sure, but didn't seem to impede the Wii from selling like hotcakes.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Ah this guy.

The guy who made a name for himself at that game show cussing and being hip.

Then he tried to do it again in December and it fell flat as he messed up his lines he didn't memorize

Now it's cussing at MS. Third times a charm! lol

 

[Jboemios]

That was happen when youwant to be smart with your names. Put a simple number convention like the iPhone or playstation.

 

[M1chl]

Seems like gaming public are the most idiotic people around, makes you think how they are buying phones, TVs or shit like that. It's really sight to behold.

Also take your pills or lay of the drugs.

Also way out sucked ass.

 

[Kimahri]

I don't get the confusion. People have bought cell phones for decades now just fine, and they have always had asinine naming schemes.
