Microsoft Launching New Xbox One ‘Mini’ this year Say Rumours

4.7
Microsoft is set to unveil a slimmed down ‘Xbox One Mini’ in October, according to online 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.

Clio This seems pointless... I already thought the Xbox One was still fairly portable at least compared to PC builds anyways...


Can totally agree with you on this.

-it- To be honest I do not see why their would be a Xbox One Mini. I just never really thought of this. But you know Microsoft just wants the money.


Microsoft is always wanting money lmao...


Of course they want money. All companies want more money. Not many companies stick around on just hopes and dreams.


They could come up with something better then a smaller version..

A less better console won't solve anything.

What the hell is the point..take up less space and do less than the one?

I'm an Xbox fan but didn't Playstation have the mini before Microsoft? Would that be considered stealing their ideas?

TricksPosted:

Just another eye candy thing to get people to buy something very unnecessary. Xbox One already doesn't have enough storage, can't see them having a lot if it's a mini.

Curious to see if it will actually happen! Personally, I think the Xbox One now is fine!
