Microsoft Launching New Xbox One ‘Mini’ this year Say Rumours
Details are sketchy, but the pared down version of Microsoft’s games console is expected to be a third of the size and will drop Blu-ray support.
The rumours started from Chinese site WPDang, but have not yet been corroborated by any other sources, leading to suspicion within the gaming community.
Microsoft is already rumoured to be launching a range of new products at a large event scheduled for October. including a second fitness band and new versions its Lumia smartphones and Surface tablets.
Smaller versions of the key console makers’ flagship hardware are not unusual, but they tend to come a little later on in the product’s lifetime. The Xbox One was released less than two years go.
Sales for the Sony PS4 are roughly double that of the rival Xbox One, so it’s not entirely unbelievable that Microsoft might want to introduce a slimmed down version of its console before Christmas in order to boost sales.
However, the gaming world is taking the latest rumours with a massive pinch of salt.

Why do they keep making different versions of the same console.
Just stick to releasing separate consoles.

Sawk Might get this instead of an Xbox one, if the rumours are true that is.
Im extremely curious on how it would look. Lol, I guess a little console won't be too bad, but hopefully it's not over the orig. xbox1 price, because u would be buying more for less.

I think they probably already start developing these before the xbox one even got released, They do it with every console just to earn even more money.
They wait until not as many people are buying the xbox one or have already bought it and then a month later release a smaller version just to get all the hype back.

I don't see why drop Blue-ray support they went through a lot of trouble to have the right to use it on their consoles just to drop it.

So was the PS2 slim, but look how many users bought it.
Sounds stupid but people will buy.
