I wouldn't be surprised. They did something similar with windows by counting windows 8.1 as the 9th release.

There is precedence for this radical name change. Mario Kart did it with Mario Kart 7 despite there being no Mario Kart 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 but there was a 64.

I still like my suggested name from awhile back, Xbox 365. A callback to their most successful era, that emphasizes the systems ecosystem and xcloud/game streaming always available, and still manages to put a 5 in the name of the system

I will be shocked if it isn't simply Xbox going ahead as it lends itself well to their catch-all services and platform.

call it the xbox 720 or xbox 4k

Xbox 4k could have been a decent name for the X, and would have made it slightly less ridiculous to call the next one 5 and finally catch up with Sony and put a stop to this pantomime.
I told them, but did they listen ?

(4k definitely NOT a good idea for Scarlett)

Going against 5 now because you don't want to echo a competitor, be in mind.

Xbox 10 is boring, dull and forgettable and not a good brand or search term that gets mixed with Windows.

Xbox Infinite is still the most likely of the bunch mentioned at this point but it will be something unique, stand out brand regardless, not a number.

I just realized they simply can't call it Xbox 4 due to PS5 wow lol.

not won't be Xbox 5 though. Based on the past it will be something crazy!

They'll call it the Xbox Ξ (Greek letter "Xi", often pronounced "zai" in English).

It will be great.

No one will have a clue how to say it out loud, or even how to type in on a keyboard.
