Xbox One SX actually sounds really cool.  Considering the X sku is smaller than the S, it would have made some sense as well. However, with all of the XxX jokes already going around the web, and considering XB's prior E naming scheme, adding that to the SX could create enough meme's to melt the net. Basically ever since they decided on the One console name they screwed themselves for the entire gen.

Well yes but DX at least has a distinct, pre-established meaning:  Deluxe.  And it's positive.  Adding on X by itself though was rather boneheaded.  

I thought you were going for Direct X. Which would have also made a lot of sense to the few who know what it is and what it means to Xbox, but it wouldn't mean anything to the large majority of people. Not like X means anything to them either though. Deluxe would have been a good name as well. XB could have done the same thing I suggested and just left the meaning of the name out and let people make up their own mind. Is it Deluxe, Direct X?
