Microsoft is baffling bad at naming things. I sometimes think that they’re playing a game to see just how badly they can name their products before they start to lose money.

You’ve got to be quite the gamer to understand the hierarchy of XBOX consoles.

Calling it the "S Series" or "X Series" would make sense, but "Series" as the base name of the product line is just...I mean, what were they thinking? It makes absolutely zero sense.

Meanwhile Sony's over here with PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, PS5, and all the sub-versions make perfect sense (base, slim, pro, etc).

I have the feeling Microsoft intentionally sought to create this confusion so they can move the old stock as well. Example: Young Billy wants an Xbox for Christmas so clueless parents/grandparents go to Walmart and purchase something made by Microsoft with Xbox written on the box, preferably on sale and at a cheaper price.

There is a reason why it is named what it is: The Windows Subsystem for Android now runs Android 13 in beta https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34060390

I think the problem is that the name could be interpreted as a subsystem that runs on Android to provide a Windows API or services.

I had that issue with WSL; it sounds like it could be the name of an official WINE-like product from Microsoft. “For” is often used to specify the target.
