Gonna be annoyed if we somehow focus so much on this compared to 360 that we get working persistent softmods for xbox one before my beloved 360.
Either way, GG to the people who can use this to crack open that machine and really figure out the internals.
What this means is clean room reverse engineering can happen on the console’s software . So custom firmware and other tools are now possible (without relying on data leaks from hackers).
This is still probably years from now, but exciting to see.
Is the XBox One the new one? Or the one after Xbox 360? The only company who knows how to name their consoles is Sony.
Microsoft is trying to confuse the audience by saying “oh, they have the playstation 3? We have the Xbox 360! That’s 357 higher than 3!”
I don’t own any Xbox’s. I don’t know the order they came out in. But even if I never owned a playstation, I could tell you 5 is the newest one, because 6 hasn’t come out yet.
And then there’s Nintendo…who may genuinely be on drugs when they name their consoles. I mean for gods sake! One of them was named after a penis, and one was named after a bdsm role.
Which one is the Xbox One again?
The Xbox one came after the Xbox 360 and before the current version, the XBox Series X/S.
They really do have the stupidest names.
Xbox fucked itself when it released the 360. It’s a cool name and all, but where do you go from there? They can’t back out and name the next one the Xbox 3 because that’s just a downgrade to 360 both audibly and visually. The Xbox 720 like plenty of people thought? That one’s honestly not bad, but at this point you’ve only kicked the can down the road. Because the Xbox 1080 or 1440 doesn’t sound nearly as good.
I can’t tell if they were just scared to have the “Xbox 2” compete with the “PlayStation 3”, or if it was just MS not knowing how to name a damn product.
XBox Series X or was it XBox Series One X?
I have no idea … some crazy naming they have going on there.
I think the numbering thing was stupid but I think that can go to how stupid consumers are though. Consumers can be dumb enough to think that it’s inferior due to a lower number.

I’m really fascinated at how complex this was. How anyone even works this stuff out is beyond me.
I still have one sat in a drawer so I really hope they can make this into a consumer friendly hack.
