So instead they chose three numbers behind the PlayStation, and 359 numbers behind its predecessor? Not sure I follow that reasoning. Not to mention they could just jump to the same number as PlayStation used, just like MS also skipped Windows 9.
That said all the jokes at the time likely helped make it clear to everyone that the Xbox One was the new model. And Series S/X is just two letters, nobody seems too confused by that.

They chose a naming system that's not based on sequential numbers to both differentiate themselves from SONY and also to avoid being one number behind. Nintendo is doing the same.
