The Xbox One X was launched in 2017 and remains the most advanced console of Xbox’s current-gen. Moreover, Microsoft had discontinued production of One X in July 2020.
The Series X will launch in November and so the pre-orders for the next-gen machine are now live. However, as soon as the pre-orders went live, the old console saw a hike of 747% in sales on Amazon.

Is the Xbox Series X really a tough name to remember?
The current and next-gen Xbox gaming console names are Xbox One, One X, One S, and Series X, and Series S, respectively.
It is understandable that Microsoft did not want a very similar naming scheme to the PlayStation. But the repetitive use of X and S titles in their consoles can be really confusing to some. This is especially true of parents or other people who aren’t much into gaming but are ordering the console for someone else.
