MODERATORS
IIRC Microsoft purposely didn't do the numeric scheme because they would lave always been 1 behind Sony, and people are dumb.
Xbox 2 vs PS3 - > Xbox 4 vs PS5
People would have just assumed the Playstation was better based on name alone. Honestly they were probably right. They have to live with that decision though.
I have no idea what's going on with Nintendo. They have some absolute banger names but generally don't cash in with a follow up.
I’m still wondering what happened to Windows 9.
Windows 9 and iPhone 9 are out there in the void.
Microsoft would’ve been better off just biting the bullet and skipping a number and release an Xbox with the same number as PlayStation
