Update: It seems as though the 747% increase of the Xbox One X on Amazon's sales charts isn't tied directly to specific sales, but more so the searchability and traffic related to the product. Given the fact that the Xbox One X surely showed up frequently when many were searching to pre-order the Xbox Series X, that makes this leap a bit more understandable.

There has been a lot of conjecture surrounding the naming conventions that Microsoft has opted to use both in this current generation of consoles and in the one to come. Many (myself included) think that the Xbox One X/Xbox Series X and Xbox One S/Xbox Series S naming pattern might be a bit confusing to those who aren't as integrated in the gaming space. Well, those fears seem to have now been potentially verified if some new information is any indicator.

Following Xbox Series X and S pre-orders going live earlier today, it looks as though some purchasers may have snagged the wrong console. Noticed by @AndrewAlerts over on Twitter, the Xbox One X has shot up the sales charts over on Amazon and saw a 747% boost in sales, which is staggering, to say the least. The sudden change in sales of Microsoft's current-generation Xbox seems to have come about solely in relation to pre-orders for the Xbox Series X going live, which points to the fact that some people might have outright bought the wrong machine -- oops.

Then again, maybe these fine consumers should be given the benefit of the doubt? After all, the Xbox One X is being discontinued by Microsoft. Perhaps the striking increase in sales is simply because many people decided all at once that they'd like to have a piece of gaming history before it's gone forever. I mean, hey, it's (really not) possible!

Anyway, did you have any luck snagging an Xbox Series X or S this morning? Be sure to let us know over in our dedicated article talking about today's events.
