The reason they skipped Windows 9 (from Win 7 to Win 8 to Win 10) is because there's still a lot of legacy software that looks at Windows versions and would treat Windows 9 the same as Windows 95 and 98, because it matched the 9x pattern.

I have heard this before and I'm pretty sure it isn't true Windows' internal version numbers have nothing to do with what it says on the box, like Windows 8 when it came out had the internal version number 6.2.9200

What I just find baffling is that the names they've gone with were decided upon deliberately. There were meetings to come to the conclusion that Xbox Series X is a great and distinct name that will really make it stand out! Marketing "experts"!
-
Someone actually came to the conclusion at some point that making their console name sound like part of a series that goes in order is bad marketing Instead every new XBox needs to sound like a completely new, revolutionary product launch

It reminds people of how old their gaming system is, which is probably a big deal. I don't care if my OS came out seven years ago, but a seven year old console might as well be steam powered.

Since you don’t put out a new console every year they probably don’t want to call attention to how old their hardware is once it gets 5+ years since the last upgrade.

No one is buying *anything* named after 2020.
