That's a good point. They kinda did the same thing with One -- OneDrive, OneNote, and XBox One.
They bought the company that made OneNote, so I believe it was already a product called OneNote.
Not according to Microsoft:

To be fair the first Xbox was never called the "Xbox 1", it was just called the Xbox.

I get that his comment didn't include any reference to machine learning or industry disruption, but did it need to be flagged into oblivion? seems like overkill. Just delete the whole subtree if it's offending people, keeping the sub-comments doesn't make any sense.
Oh, do you mean Xbox 1 or Xbox One?
