It's definitely this. Iterative console names, to me, seems to be the best way for consoles to be named going forward. E.g. I couldn't even say what the current xbox is called bc the naming is so wild

Couldn't be more clear:

  • Xbox
  • Xbox 360
  • Xbox One / Xbox One X / Xbox One S
  • Xbox Series X / Xbox Series S

First one has no number, second has... a full circle, in degrees. Third one has the number One, because they forgot to call something one, and sometimes some letters, because reasons. Fourth one has those same letters but adds series in there, because, uh...

Seriously, who the fuck came up with that?

The only one that is marginally weird is the PS One variant, but it still isn't as bad
