For real though. People really want to make this narrative happen. Oh well, bunch of sour grapes still grasping at what little things are left to complain about.
Won't SOMEONE think of the grandmas?!?!?

I'm all in for any schenanagins as long as Chrono Cross continues to sell and makes SE make a sequel.
I get that some people can get confused easily, but it's also pretty easy to get confused when you don't want to pay attention.
All Xbox One games will run on Xbox Series consoles (bar maybe a few exceptions, as usual). Both consoles will provide upgraded backwards compatibility in select cases (it will at least run as well, and may even run better). Xbox Series S will provide backwards compatibility based on Xbox One S performance profile (so 1080p gaming). Xbox Series X will provide backwards compatibility based on Xbox One X performance profile (so 4K gaming).
It sounds complicated? That's because you wanna know every minute detail. All that matters is: Xbox One games will run on Xbox Series consoles. They will run better on Xbox Series X. (surprising, isn't it?)
Wooo, confusing.
It seems to be some manufactured outrage here? Based on the post above of course.
If not then I hope it was all the bots haha

One is different. It has a connotation of restart / remake. No product has the number 1 after the name when it's the actual first one released.
I bought one today to complement my new series x, not my one x lol.
Please show me the evidence of this being a provable thing and not something marketing people pulled from their own ass.
Not that big a deal but no it wasn't just Xbox One consoles in the label I saw. It was Xbox consoles.
Got a link? I have no idea how to separate lists by simply "Xbox consoles".
The only list I see with Xbox One X as #1 Best Seller is for "Xbox One Consoles", that is label on it.
Xbox Series X is #1 Best Seller in all of videogames at the moment, it'd be weird if that didn't also include 'Xbox Consoles'.

This was from last night. It does say in Xbox One Consoles now when I view the listing. For example the Xbox One S best seller listing right now also currently shows "Xbox Consoles" and not "Xbox One Consoles". So that would make sense that it doesn't say just overall Xbox Consoles anymore.
Maybe that's just cellphone weirdness, those links all list Xbox One Console for me, either way though, it's not the best selling actual Xbox console. Xbox Series X is the best selling videogame item fullstop, Xbox One S and Xbox One X are not even in that list at all.
People posting sarcastic responses, citing grannies and pretending not to see the problem: you're deluded. The problem is right there clear as day. The naming system is very bad, just like 3DS and Wii U before it. Madness. Between this and the story about One X trending on Twitter the problem is clear as day.
For what it's worth: when I was trying to pre-order, I actually clicked on an Xbox One X listing before the proper one went up. I forget which site it was. Between all the errors, pages disappearing and re-appearing, and refreshing, I did a few searches. One of them got me, if only briefly.
It's a terrible name. It's going to cause confusion. But, like I've said before, it will be fine overall. A product that's in demand will always sell, bad name or not.

They should just call Series X "Xbox Gen 9" if they have numbering issues.
Both of these are same deal as Xbox ONE: they're part of the brand, not a number.
Yeah, my guess is they ordered the wrong version of Telstra All Access and just don't want to admit their mistake.
I'm telling you that this likely will not be a massive thing at all.
I have been following this ona Facebook thread with the person. They posted photos of conversations they had with Telstra showed their record for the all access and everything. Been told to send it back, and reorder going to the back of the queue
I hope those weren't early Christmas gift purchases. If so, there's gonna be a lot of pissed off people Christmas morning that were expecting Xbox Series X under the tree.
How did they get a discontinued console? Where are the XBOX One Xs coming from? The console has been discontinued for months. Sounds like some second rate company that shouldnt be selling consoles offloading stock .
It shouldn't be a thing at all. Especially not for online retailers... In store someone could theoretically ask for the wrong thing and the attendant not know/care enough to clarify. But online orders aren't that simple.
If you're picking orders in these cases you get a picking list and a barcode scanner. As you're assigned orders you travel around the warehouse picking up the items and scanning them to assign them to the order. If you scan the wrong item it won't assign to the order. If you don't scan an item at all then the customer wouldn't be charged for it and to close out the order you'd have to select some sort of reason code for the incomplete item(s).
This is pretty standard stuff. From Amazon right down to mom and pop level stores. Theoretically Microsoft should be able to give their console a completely incoherent name and it still shouldn't be possible for a retailer to ship the wrong one.
If they do somehow manage to send the wrong thing that retailer has a major issue that's completely separate from Microsoft's naming one.
