Stevivor asked Xbox chief Phil Spencer at X019 if naming the next-gen Xbox – currently known to the public as Project Scarlett – has been difficult due to the naming conventions of previous Xbox consoles.
First there was the Xbox, then the Xbox 360, and after the Xbox One.
Spencer already has the next-gen Xbox set up at his home and has been speaking about some of its features quite openly recently.
Compared to Sony’s example of having numbered consoles that form a sequence – PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, PS5 – naming an Xbox seems like it could be more difficult.
