Comment on Is it just a coincidence that Chromium and Firefox have similar version numbers?

  My memory is hazy here, but I was under recollection that Microsoft opted not to call it the Xbox 2 because it coincided with the release of the PlayStation 3, and since three is more than two, obviously the PlayStation is better. If true, people are fucking stupid. I mean, people are fucking stupid regardless, but still.

    It was going to be the 513, but we got an overflow error instead.

  Yeah I never seemed to understand the naming scheme for Xbox consoles, because what came after the 360 is… the Xbox One. It’s technically the third one.

  And then there’s Nintendo with all their silly home console names. It didn’t get consistent until the Wii and Wii U, and even then, that was thrown out the window immediately after. At least the handhelds were pretty consistent in their naming.
