• A Way Out developer Josef Fares really doesn't like the Xbox Series X name

The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S naming debate has been reignited yet again, this time by the colorful and often outspoken developer Josef Fares. Fares, who developed A Way Out and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, expressed his bewilderment and contempt for the Xbox Series X name in an interview with IGN, stating that even Microsoft was confused. “It's a confusing name,” says Josef. "What's going on with Microsoft? They lose it, man. What's going on? Like S, X, Mex, Next series. I mean, who knows that? Come on." Craziness. Call it Microsoft Box and that's it. I don't know. It's a fucking mess. Trust me, even they are confused in their offices. What is X, S... I don't know, what the fuck.

Fares has already made headlines due to his candid opinions and habit of dropping the F-bomb. At the 2017 Game Awards, Fares' appearance went viral by yelling "f**k the Oscars" before showing off his gameplay.

Now that Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are on the market, some less-informed consumers may be confused at a glance. However, Xbox boss Phil Spencer disagrees. In an interview with Kotaku in August of last year, Phil Spencer said: "On the pronunciation ability of S and X, I tend to agree that these are not the easiest words or letters to say to fully spell it, but I think it will be pretty obvious when someone walks into the store." As it turns out, Spencer was right, as the Xbox Series X name didn't stop Microsoft from achieving a record launch, with its flagship console and the smaller, more affordable Xbox Series S continuing to sell. retailers.
