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. And as much as I absolutely hate Microsoft, I almost can’t blame them. Remember that a&w lost to McDonald’s because people thought a 1/3 lb hamburger was less than a 1/4 lb hamburger. People are fucking stupid.
