Future of Xbox set-top box uncertain, report claims

4.5
Microsoft hasn't yet decided whether it'll introduce the previously rumoured Xbox set-top box, according to Wall Street Journal sources.

It has previously been reported that Microsoft is developing a low-cost alternative to its next-gen Xbox designed to provide streamed access to core entertainment services.
It has been claimed that the device would run on the core components of Windows 8 and support casual games rather than full Xbox ones. WSJ sources said recent prototypes integrated Kinect functionality.

The site also claims that the next-generation Xbox, which is set to be revealed on May 21, will be released in time for the holiday season in time to go head-to-head with PS4.

From the information I've heard about both consoles, I really can't decide which will be better, but if I had to chose, I'd probably say the PS4 has a better chance...

I don't see this happening due to the fact of how they integrated entertainment with the new Xbox One.
