The Xbox naming always reminds me of the "New Nintendo 3ds" which was different from the "Nintendo 3ds". People probably got paid a lot of money to come up with the stupidest names.

‘New 3DS’ wasn't really that egregious, since it was a revision of 3DS. What was worse is that DS, 3DS, and 2DS were released in that order.
