Anecdotal but I used to be a die hard Xbox guy. After the 360 I got really lost on the naming scheme. I want to buy an Xbox but I have no idea which one is the latest. Is it the Xbox Series X One? Or the Xbox X Series X? no fucking clue I know, I can do like 5 minutes of research and find out. But I don't care THAT much. If I knew it was called an Xbox 5 I could use that time researching on just going to Amazon and buying it instead. Also, my friends have all gotten older and they're no longer on an Xbox and are using Nintendo switch/phones as their casual gaming device.

I'm right there with you - not many of my friends (we're in our young-mid 30s) game that much, and when they do it's pretty casual. I have an Xbox One and I have the game pass, but to be honest it's mainly for when my friends come over and we play FIFA, Madden, etc... - something pretty casual. I cannot for the life of me remember the last time I played a non-multiplayer game. Everyone who still likes gaming and is into playing with their SO, their kids, or relatives that I know plays on Switch, which to be fair is an awesome device.

  We're in the Switch boat with a 9-year old, and even though I sometimes look at my friends and their PS5s/latest Xboxes with envy it always comes down to the unsavory catalog of games. The violence/sex/other kinds of mature content is a big drawback to families like us (even if you don't buy those kinds of games, the visibility is still too high).

Check out their surface device lineup. It is equally as confusing! Unified branding in Microsoft products seem to be an area they could improve on.

For me it was the way they messed up the Indies, killing XBox Live Arcade, XNA, UWP,... The whole ID@XBOX is trying to recover from that.
