Lol, if only. Microsoft done well to make it different from playstation though

Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

The first Microsoft Console was the X BOX

So just the X and the Square

Then came the X BOX 360, Added the Circle

Only makes sense that the nextbox will be... X BOX 540

(Interior angles of the triangle is 180 degrees, add that to the current 360...boom)

...uhh...ill just put my favorite quote of all time here.

"Welcome to Pain, the second of three...You have dealt the first...now deal with me!!"

LOOOOL!!!

I thought you would actually provide an actual history.

Now try Xbox 720

720...

7 + 2 + 0 = 9

The square root of 9 is 3

Triangles have 3 sides...
