Wait, are we talking about the original Xbox or Xbox360?

Wouldnt the Xbox360 be considered as #2 this generation?

If not this gen but next gen, what makes you think they'll be #3?

 I'm trying to say the third console made by a game company/division usually has some serious faults/loss which I label as a curse. The next Microsoft console would be their third.
