(They released two consoles this gen, the One Series S and One Series X, a low end and a high end one respectively. Together they’re called the Xbox One Series)
Really just shows how little people have actually been paying attention. The names suck but it’s really not that hard to differentiate.
At this point they should just name their next consoles Xbox 11 and Xbox 11 Lite or something. It succeeds in making their number higher than PlayStation’s (as was the goal of the 360 back in the day), it coincides with the current Windows version to signify that recent Xbox platform unity, and most importantly, it solves the problem of consumers having to think beyond “bigger number means better.” And then please don’t fuck it up by making the next Windows named something other than 12.
I think that the One S should be dropped first, followed by the One X, but that the One X shouldn’t be anchored to the 2013 console.
So yeah, the One S should be dropped and the One X should be supported further, then be the next to drop say 2 years after. As it exists, it appears that the One X is anchored to the One S.
The problem is that the One X has a very weak CPU. To keep supporting it there would have to be significant compromises in terms of world complexity etc.

This is… incorrect. Among the previous generation the consoles were:
The consoles in the current gen are:
Neither the word “one” nor the word “series” overlapped between the two generations.

I strongly believe that the One X should have been renamed to make it easier to drop support of the One S.
But that never really came to fruition. Unless you mean that they should still be supporting the One X further into this generation.
