TOO MANY X's DISCUSS

I just wanted to see what people thought about the alarming trend of putting an X into the name of new cameras....we surely are in the year of the "X"
Fuji has created an X-series of camera (so I dont mind their usage)
-X100
-X10
-XS-1
-X Pro-1
Panasonic decided to bring back the GF-1 in the form of the GX-1
Canon joined the fray with the 1DX and the G1X (an attempt to cash in on the Fuji X-series and confuse you with the GX-1 and possibly the GXR?)
Nikon, Sony and Samsung have existing 'X' usage as well.
What do you all think? Coincidental? Deliberate?

Maybe they are trying to emulate Elizabeth Taylor. She had a lot of ex's.

X-factor, X-treme, X-citing, you can almost see how they think. Still not as bad as the automobile industry with their ridiculous car naming conventions.

I reckon the best bang for buck X from the whole flurry of Xs is the Canon G1X. It's got a huge sensor!! Hopefully the lens comes to the party.

I reckon that is now dead.
OS-X seems to live on...
