what is someone gonna type into youtube/google/ or any other search engine?
what are they going to end up see?
are they smart enough to understand the differences in products?
I’m trying to think of a scenario where someone would think twice about purchasing a steam machine just because a product from 10 years ago bombed in sales.
This would require them to ignore the recent success of the steam deck… which is basically impossible.
Therefore, I have doubts that the name alone would have ANY direct impact on sales

I think MS is transitioning from XBOX = console to XBOX = MS gaming, which is smart, but they’re just fumbling that communication.
