      Xbox - 2001
      Xbox 360 - 2005
      Xbox One - 2013
      Xbox One S - 2016
      Xbox One X - 2017
      Xbox Series S|X - 2020

      Though, seeing it laid out like this makes it look like the S|X(6) was intentional. But clearly that’s too much credit for whoever is constantly day drunk while naming.

      It’s like this because of the PlayStation being a generation ahead of them in terms of naming.

      People, on average, are dumb. They would see PlayStation 5 and Xbox 4 and think that automatically means the PlayStation is the newer, better console.
