On Tuesday, Microsoft launched pre-orders for its upcoming next generation console, the Xbox One X. Sorry, I meant the Xbox Series X. Can you blame me? There’s only one word of difference between the two names, and it’s the one in the middle. There are also three X’s.

I might not be the only one who gets them confused, though. (Microsoft itself has, but I digress.) Despite today being pre-order day for the Series X (reminder: the new one), the One X (the old one) had a banner day on Amazon as well, at one point up 747 percent on Amazon’s “Movers & Shakers” sales charts.
It just goes to show in my opinion how peoples attention to detail lack in everyday use.

Xbox Series X
Xbox One X

^^ That is pretty obvious that they are two different products. They have different names!!!

Hell you can even argue that

Playstation 4
Playstation 5

are more closely named then the XBOX consoles.

I just have no sympathy for those that made this mistake, IMO even parents/regular people should be able to differentiate without having there hands held.
