One of the things Microsoft always sucks at but I feel is needed for any success with this is clear labeling of the devices and how good they are.

For example everyone knows which is better Playstation 4 or Playstation 5. Everyone knows pixel 10 vs pixel 10 pro. I can't tell if Xbox s or Xbox x is the better model. I would bet the next Playstation is going to be Playstation 6, no info but the pattern is clear.

Hell, windows went 3.1, nt, 95, 98, 2000, me, xp, vista, 7, 8, 10, 11 which would make me think how do they count there?
