In typical Microsoft nonsensical naming schemes, they had nowhere to go after Xbox 360.

I gave up on paying attention to Xboxes when they started calling them such stupid fucking shit like "Xbox x series sx". Now you have to be really familiar with Xbox lore to even figure out what the latest current one is.

They didn’t want to say xbox 2 because it was less than PS3

But Nintendo had no problems with jumping to 64

This is the real reason, they were afraid consumers would think "3 is bigger than 2 so the Sony one must be better".

I think Nintendo gets a pass because they never used numbers anyway: NES -> SNES -> 64 -> gamecube -> wii -> switch. The 64 of course was about the hardware technology and not the generation or anything.
